Screw it. If my father can board a ship to fight the Axis powers,
then I can don my mask and go vote in person. The wait usually is not long, and my vote will be counted for Biden on election night, instead of not getting counted because trump found a way to shut down vote counting.

I'll have my wipes and lysol spray handy, too.

God, I hate dictator wannabees.

So Brave.

So Stunning.

1. My tradition: 1. Vote in person; 2. Reward myself with a Mission Street San Fran burrito.

That's how I'll be doing it this year.

I vote. Then I go back to work.

2. Believe it or not but my husband and had been worried Trump would do something

And we planned on voting at the poles. Before all this B.S. With the mail. Both of us will be masked. I will be gloved up and have hand sanitizer. I am also thinking of doing a good stock up weekend before or day of election. I am in the middle of readingS Trump's book. We are going to see a bully with massive power and enablers have a tantrum. Thankfully I am working from home and hopefully it won't change. But if it does I am saving time to take that week off. Maybe I am paranoid but I am going to be safe as possible. (On tablet sorry for any mistakes/suspicions I miss.

3. I vote early at the county board of elections. I have never had to wait one minute.

Check in, pick up my ballot and vote, in and out in less than 5 minutes. Of course I am in a rural county it may not be so easy elsewhere.
I go to Walmart, Kroger and buy take out food I wear a mask why should we be afraid to vote.

38. I live in an urban area of almost 3 million. It has never taken me longer than 5 minutes to vote.

Seeing folks in Georgia and Florida in line for hours in the heat and humidity makes my blood boil. Those people desperately trying to suppress the vote are working overtime and we ALL have to speak out -- even if we're not personally experiencing it.

I rant to congress people daily via email. I don't know if it gets anywhere, but I feel like I tried to have my say.

4. I will vote in person too.

We live in a very small town and we've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Our tradition is to get up super early when the polls open, vote, go out to breakfast and go visit a historic place. In 2016 it was the Minuteman trail in Lexington/ Concord. We will probably just go home this time though.

5. I won't get an "I Voted" sticker unless I vote in person.

As long as Trump doesn't cancel that out.

But seriously folks, I have always voted on election day since 1964. No need to change now.

So, you are at least 74 and still don't know jack shit...

7. I think I will drive down to the local elections office and turn in my mail-in ballot in person

God knows when it will get there with the USPS so messed up by Trump.

9. We early voted one year...two hour wait.

I’m in red state hell so I’m going to vote absentee.

17. Our state is short on poll workers.

Many polling places are going to be closed. The lines are going to HORRENDOUS.

You know it's bad when our state pays people to work the polls, and we still can't get enough poll workers.

The pollworkers in Maryland are typically in their 60's and 70's, so they are probably scared to work the polls this year.

I was planning on voting in person, but now, I think I will drop off my ballot. I'm waiting for the Governor to announce the drop-off locations.

If I don't get my ballot on time, though, I will pitch a fit.

21. I'm leaning towards EARLY mail-in. We have brand new voting machines

and I don't want any issues with my vote being flipped to Kanye.

29. Absentee for me.

I'm afraid of someone putting an "I Voted" sticker on me, loaded with the Covid cooties!

I'm kidding about that, but I'll probably vote absentee.

37. So much the same here.

My dad’s WWII experience has come to my mind, too. I can vote early in person. I’ll go on a weekday afternoon, masked, gloved and with several Lysol wipes. But then I know my vote will be tallied for Biden the night of 11/3.

40. And it isn't a surprise, is it? We can see the suppression.

I don't know why the entire nation isn't outraged. But they aren't.

I think that the entire nation will get outraged if millions get evicted and the market drops off a cliff. Once people get kicked out and are on the street, they likely would have given up all of their possessions and left them for the landlord to clean up and solicit for other renters. So the evicted have nothing and they'll have to re-build and they'll know that Trump did this to them. Amid all of this chaos, which is Trump's unique skill at creating, a pandemic is raging and killing off those who cannot physically contain the virus.

This is what we have in store for us in a few short weeks unless the GOP and Trump stop playing with themselves get to work.

56. I'm going to vote in person. I have a choice between two awful options:

1) Vote in person EARLY VOTING, hoping not to run into a swarm of unmasked voters, and hope that russians aren't hacking the computers that tabulate the votes.

2) Vote by mail and gamble that the post office actually delivers my piece of mail, or that somehow the republicans in our state don't remove all the official looking Dept. of Elections envelopes from certain heavily democratic voting areas.

20 years after the 2000 election, which was STOLEN by the republican supreme court, we would have stabilized voting in the un-United States. This is a travesty.

Quite a few assumptions that Biden will still be the candidate when election day arrives.  So many wasted early votes.  :-)

So we’re messing up somewhere, guys. We’re only supposed to be suppressing DEM votes!!  Our people never have to stand in line, only the Dems. We need to find this location and fix it.

It’s funny, all the DUmmies scream for mail ballots because that’s what they’ve been told to scream for now and they’re finding ALL the ways this is a bad idea, but somehow that’s not their fault. LOL.

They’re so stupid.

Not seeing a connection here.  I'm have no doubt her father was disappointed in her, though.

Turns out Kamaltoe Harris votes (well advances her career) at poles too.
