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.

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.

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!

Andrea??? Did you see in the news today that Stacy Abrams made a huge announcement at a rally in Las Vegas (I think) at a Labor (Union) convention?

Abrams multi-million sponsored initiative is called: Fair Fight 2020.


"The project will fund and staff voter protection teams in battleground states across the country ahead of next year's elections" (Article LINK)
(excerpt from news article I found on the Newser website @ www.newser.com).

Bumping Andrea's Voting forum thread, again:

Here's an article which is currently featured on CNN, concerning voting issues American citizens face -- each election -- and in this case, the article focuses on a South Carolina city, Ashville.

It's horrible, what the GOP has done for years and in particular, this article is not exhaustive in it's claims about gerrymandering of districts, not to mention whole states (Idaho, for instance) in the contiguous continental United States, where Republican's have maintained a strangle-hold politically.

I hope Stacey Abram's voting initiative has been active since her Las Vega$ announcement, but my inner radar tells me that the GOP's efforts to take over American politics and government to make sure everyone bows down to their agenda is only going to get worse, until people demand that they be held accountable and vote them out of office.

It makes me furious when I read articles about how the GOP is at the bottom of every cesspool act in our governing agencies.

Article Link is found ~~~>>>>>>> Here.

I voted today and filled out my mail in ballot for every democrat who is either an incumbent or is on the ballot to be elected to office.

I will be taking my mail-in ballot directly to the county elections office, personally, so I know my ballot will be counted.

<<<<<~~~ does not trust the mail service (USPS) still to this day.

I have an absentee ballot but will vote at the poll up the street. I’ll take my ballot along to remember how to vote for the local judges, council members, and propositions I’ve decided on.
