Voting Early
Just curious to see if there are any members here, who are CONUS, that will be voting early, or are you going to wait until November 4th?
Do you think this "voting early" will help or hurt certain candidates?
Could this turn into one huge Charlie Foxtrot for the voting process. Which could possibly be the case in Ohio, ACORN aside. College kids from out of the state, are renting homes in Ohio, registering, then voting early, then they will be voting AGAIN in their original state of voter registration.
Thought?

My mail-in ballot gets sent in today on the way to work. I took longer to complete it due to the number of initiative measures on it here in AZ. Most are purposely worded in a confusing manner - and the advertising is worse. I wait for the little booklet put out by the state and see who is for, and who is against each one.

I signed up to vote with ACORN and they told me I could do both.

I voted yesterday. The early voting location was busy (and full), but the process went smoothly and I was in and out in very little time.
The few people I observed finished quickly. I suspect there is a lot of one-party voting going on.
There will probably be voter fraud, but the lack of authentication in the present system almost guarantees that. It probably isn't any worse than we would see if the polls were jammed and the workers overwhelmed with tired, frustrated people.

Vote - do it now!
We have early voting here and I went by the McArthur Rd location to vote today. Went about 1:00PM. Thought I would just walk in and out. I was there 38 minutes, about 36 in line.
This election will be based on turnout. Don't be caught short on election day, wait to the last minute, see a long line, Oh, what the heck and just go home.
Do it and do it now!

I'm going to vote on election day since I don't have a legitimate reason to vote otherwise....It really amazes me how much early voting is being done these days....

I voted yesterday, for the first time in my life actually(turned 18 this year),I was grateful to take part of American Democracy that so many people have paid the ultimate price for. Hopefully, this election people will make a logical decision on who to vote for- unlike a lot of people in my age bracket, I'm not for neo-socialism.

4 NOV, early.
Already Charlie Foxtrot with registration issues. Unlikely to improve.

I called the county election board to verify my polling place since it has changed. He said if I am able I should consider early voting because they are truly expecting record numbers of voters. I'm going Saturday.

I will do the early voting this Friday here in Jax, FL. The lines have been long for early voting, and I cannot imagine how long they will be on Nov 4, so I will be voting early. Republican down the ballot
