What voting method will you use?
 

Are you a vote by mail type? Do you mail your ballot in as soon as you receive it? Or are you a stand in line type? Do you prefer voting in the early morning or after your work day?

Personally, I love standing in line first thing in the morning to place my vote. Something about that feels powerful. However, I was always concerned something would stop me from getting there so several years ago I signed up for vote by mail.

Many elections, I am still in line to drop off my vote by mail ballot but this year I will be out of town on election day so have mailed my ballot in the weekend after I received it.

up until now i've always voted in person on election day, but i recently registered for "permanent advance voter" status due to permanent disability - in my county, you have to be disabled to be able to automatically vote by mail every election (instead of having to re-register to vote by mail every election). so i got my ballot last week and filled it out but i haven't dropped it in the outgoing mail yet :) hopefully i'll do that today or tomorrow.

I use to go to the polls but recently I started useing a mail in vote,no mater how I feel health wise or tht weather is I will have voted.

I think this time around I going to use one of these two methods. Pin the tail on the donkey. Or try the magic 8 ball.

In person though I might regret it. Getting older and arthritic. But I like the ritual. I like being there with my fellow citizens doing our civic duty. I have always loved it.

Rock paper scissors. Or maybe the time tested trusty chicken wishbone.

Will you be submitting your decision by telepathy?

Not super busy where I live but regardless- I GO. I don't trust mail in ballots. I barely trust the electronic ballots.


VOTE no matter what!

Early mail-in ballot. :)

I have been voting Absentee Ballot of over 20 years now. When I first started using this method, it was mostly Republicans and older people using absentee. (Although I was not old nor Republican at the time. ) Now, the Democrats and others are using Absentee more and more.

I go to the polling station for my neighborhood. It's the Community College right by my house. But pin the tail on the donkey would work too.

That's where my magic 8 ball comes in.

Normally in person on election day, however, this year I went to town hall and voted early. I don't trust the mail.

In person, with a smile.

I always vote in person on election day. I love the buzz and the lines of people anxious to cast their ballots.

Hope that everyone here will get out and VOTE!

I always vote on my way to work. its early, and not much of a line at 530 am.

I already voted by mail for Bam and Biden. They never have enough parking where I vote and it is ALWAYS raining on Election Day.

That is why I like to vote in person...I enjoy snarling at the Republicans!

In addition to voting in person, I'll dress as gay as I can. (Damn femme invisibility) and doubt I'll be able to keep myself from skipping/dancing my way through the doors. I kill those republicans with kindness. Hold the door for them, big happy smiles at them, that sort of thing. I think it instills more fear.

I am sooooo early voting tomorrow (for the first time ever not ON election day) -- would like to think that reports of early voting for POTUS will help undecideds to get on the bandwagon.

Not a bad plan at all. Not an option for NY unless I can meet the following qualifications:

NEW YORK

You'll need to provide a valid excuse. Valid excuses are the same as those for by-mail absentee voting. You may vote early if you are:

unavoidably absent from your county on election day
unable to appear at the polls due to illness or disability
a patient in a Veterans’ Administration Hospital
detained in jail awaiting Grand Jury action or confined in prison after conviction for an offense other than a felony

The Chicago Method, of course.

Vote early, vote often.

I have visited the Windy City and am aware of some of their political history. Your post was a bit of a a dig at their colorful history and I must admit, it made me laugh, "Vote early, vote often."

Ya mean like 'dis?

Da Bulls, Da Bears, Da Cubs, Da Pres!!! Voted early tah-day.

Disclaimer: I am not really a huge sports fan, 'cept for my beloved Cubbies. And furthermore, in reality I do not sport a She-Caww-Go accent! *phew*

It's more than colorful. It's a reality. Hell, we even let dead people vote. More than once. Lol

Also not a big sports fan. But I like my Chicago teams. I bet against them all year long & at the very least break even. Lol
Born & raised Chicago boy so yea, I got the accent "over by dere".
Ey, you want I should fix that for yuz?
Lol

Your statement about needing an excuse has stayed with me and I started wondering about the rules in other states. I had no idea the methods and rules were so diverse.
