If youre an absentee voter and you can drive, fill Out your ballot as soon as you get it and take it to the clerks office. Do not delay. Dont forget to sign it!
If youre voting in person, make sure you look up your state rules and be prepared. Pack a snack and some water. Take a chair. Try to anticipate what you might need if you have to wait a very long time. Take a friend or 5 with you.
If you do not yet have a plan, Im asking you to please, please, please make a plan. If you need a ride to the polls contact your local democratic central committee. They can arrange a ride for you. They can also answer questions about voting. We need to spend the next 76 days talking to people and doing absolutely everything to evict the traitor from the peoples house.

(18,670 posts)If not, I can print it from online. Then I will take it to our local drop box. Hell, I'll drive to the next town and take it to the courthouse if I have to.

(18,670 posts)I don't have Trump friends anymore. They were apparently closet racists and felt free to come out when Trump appeared. I have a friend in Utah who has never voted. I've gotten so angry with her over the years, but nothing I or anyone else can say will sway her. She has a helluva lot to lose, too.

(11,032 posts)I have helped my elderly parents in requesting absentee ballots. When they arrive, I will help them ensure they hit all the procedural requirements. Assuming the ballots arrive in time for mailing a couple weeks before November 3, I will see to their mailing. If we're too close to November 3, I will deliver them to the County Clerk.

(32,471 posts)I cant wait to vote for Joe and kamala. I will drive it to the clerks office. If dump succeeds and the mail is delayed, I will go and vote early in person.

(112 posts)I'm going to cancel my mail in ballot at the county Board of Elections (Delaware County, PA) and vote in person.
Mail in ballot here will not be mailed out until late Sept. or early Oct. PA has not determined where or how many drop off boxes will be established. Also, according to my local Board of Elections, has anyone determined how many - if any - voting precincts might be closed.
In PA, if voting with a mail in ballot, I strongly urge dropping off at your county Board of Elections.
Anyone from PA reading this, please spread this information.

(16,820 posts)Mississippi doesn't allow voting before the election unless you're voting absentee, so I'll probably plan a little trip for election day. I have some physical problems that make it painful to wait in line for long, so it would be easier for me to take a trip. I can't like about taking a trip; that would be illegal.

(14,846 posts)So I'm on that path now, or being a "provisional" voter who isn't counted until days after the election.
Will send the absentee ballot ASAP and then regularly check the status online.
Need to see which judges are Democrats to vote for them in my all-Democrat ballot. (Their party isn't identified on the Ohio ballots.)
Edit: My hand was actually shaking somewhat while filling out the ballot request form! Not from anxiety about voting that way, but from my nervous eagerness to help get the GOP clowns out of office! It made me wonder if it would be even worse on election day!

(6,143 posts)For the primary NYS made it very easy to request a mail in ballot online. They havent done the same for the general election. Its very odd.

(31,316 posts)Three blocks from my apartment at the County Board of Elections office. Never had to stand in line any previous elections and suspect it will be easy and quick this time, too.
