The thing they don't tell you about showing up to vote is that there often are sexy singles in your area.
Just in case anyone needs some extra motivation.
Today I’ve been hearing they’re hanging around polling places all day, so if you missed out on going early, there’s still never a bad time to go.
If you don't vote, I'll be sad. Please don't make me sad.
My wife and I vote early, via absentee ballot, every time. We've never waited in line to vote in person.
Had a horrible wait on election day a few years ago; a hateful bigot was polling really close to the (effective, thoughtful, visible-minority) incumbent leading up to the election, and people turned up in droves. Broke records for number of votes cast in a municipal election.
But waiting in line 3+ hours to vote, with 2 preschool kiddos with us? Never again. Never. Again.
Early voting, every time. It's the way.
Absentee is the way to go! It's so nice being able to fill out my ballot as I research the weirdly worded state or city ballot measures that were off my radar from the comfort of my own couch.
My vote didn't matter, but that paper got used... don't really feel great about it, but I did my duty.
