US members - Will you vote November 2018?

Medusa · 10-23-2018, 05:44 PM

I went and did early voting today and also signed up for the Vote Van for several days until Election Day.
The Vote Van picks up people around my county and drives them to the polls if they dont have a ride.

Folks - If you have any spare resources or time, please consider helping get people to the polls to vote. Especially older folks, People of Color, and poor folks who can't afford public transportation. Uber and Lyft are doing free and reduced rides in several places but they don't cover a lot of rural areas and we have GOT to get people to the polls by every means necessary.

VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT...because it DOES.

I'll be voting and driving folks to vote. I have my work van reserved for the day and have been making sure that everyone who moves into the buildings that I manage has the opportunity to register to vote at their new address.

Turnout really is everything. I donated. That's all I could do. I hear Gillum is working hard on the ground game, so I believe my money has been well spent.

Martina · 10-25-2018, 08:51 PM

So I read that turnout among Republicans in early voting has been very high. I don't know what I'll do if the Dems don't take the House. I am not sure I can guarantee my continued sanity.

The live broadcast on CBS just ended, but what an powerful call to VOTE!

So much at stake out in Wisconsin, as is in every single state of the US.

I did early in person voting today. I always vote in person and usually on actual election day. It's a ritual or a tradition. I do not trust mail in ballots anyway.

But I got a robocall which mentioned early voting. I googled to find out where and headed out.

It felt good to do something after such a horrible hate-filled week. I truly believe Trump's racism gives these people confidence to act.

I hope folk in the USA won't mind me posting a link to today's XKCD webcomic, which is relevant: https://xkcd.com/2067/

(For those that aren't aware, the creator of XKCD, Randall Munroe, is an awesomely intelligent person with a great (and eclectic) sense of humour - and a great sense of social responsibility. Because some of his cartoons contain stuff that's obscure, fans created "Explain XKCD" - todays can be found here: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/ind...7:_Challengers)

I love early voting! Walked in, helped right away, voted and out in about 7 minutes.

I don't live in TX, so I can't vote for him. I love this!

Down to the wire and we have been phone banking and canvassing here like crazy. Below is a link that some may find interesting that keeps the poll information up to date. Some of these are neck and neck. Get out and vote!!

Yes and that is why some people opt to vote by absentee. I wish we had voting days off from work. At least 1/2 day off to vote would be show how important it is.

I am so glad to see lots of people voting!
