What is your method of voting this election?

Tovah · 11-04-2016, 08:36 PM

I have always voted in person at the polls on election day, but this year has been different.

A few months ago I moved to Ohio from California. In California you don't need identification to vote; in Ohio you do (which is total BS in my opinion). I have not yet gotten an Ohio driver's license and my utilities are in my landlord's name, so I don't have any documents proving that I'm a resident of my new state.

I figured out a loophole though. I registered to vote using my social security number and applied for an absentee ballot. My ballot came in the mail a few weeks later, I filled it out, and then I dropped it off in person at the board of elections. I am an official Ohio voter (and all without Ohio ID)!

Partner and i always walk to the polls on Election Day to gladly stand in line

with thanks to those from years past that made/protected our rights to vote

freely!

Thank you Veterans and to anyone who has served as an elected official!!!

I too have voted each Presidential election since age 18 starting in 1976 (and most mid-terms).

I will vote on Nov.8th....... and I never tell who I am voting for unless I am campaigning for a candidate.

I vote by mail, my ballot was sent two weeks ago.

The first response I had was 'using logic and sanity' but that's not what you meant.

I will be voting on The Big Day. My polling location is at a school this time. It will be interesting to see how they process things as I used to volunteer at the polls in FL.

I am being paid for my actual time at work plus holiday pay. Go, Rhode Island!

I can hear, in my head, people saying oh that person is already winning so I don't need to vote.

Or look how far ahead the person I was going to vote for is. I will write in Mickey Mouse for the fun of it.

There's about 100 or so people in a town nearby that are writing in the name of the former mayor. I get that they want to vote their party but don't want one candidate but I feel, that in THIS election of all elections, this is NOT the time to be shitting around. It's a nice gesture but it's wasting their vote. Of course, it's their vote to waste so there's that but still....I'm befuddled.

I went and voted early today. The lines were long but everyone was friendly. I normally just go to the polls but I wanted to get it over with.

Would love to hear from more of you what your method of voting this election is and if that is your preferred method or if something else is.

I'm going as soon as the polls open Tuesday and I'm wearing white in honor of the suffragettes that fought and died for my right to vote.

I am going to a church to vote...the same one used in the primaries. Anyone who knows me in person knows I am exactly like I post here...I hope no one tries to block our votes, because there will be heck to pay.

BullDog · 11-06-2016, 06:18 PM

I will be voting in person on Tuesday!

We do have the early voting option here, but I would need to go to the next town over and I prefer to vote in my little town here. I have also voted by mail when I lived in Oregon. That is convenient but I much prefer to vote in person.

I'm glad there are lots of options available and people are planning ahead to make sure their votes count!
