Done with the 3 Ballots for us...Right around 7AM in a horrible Downpour I arrived at the Hammocks Center, I parked by the Tag office to walk under cover all the way to the library and there I had to wait for 2 other people in front of me turning their Ballots.

My ID was necessary proof for my vote, but since the other 2 ballots had the same return address, all went smooth.

Saw the line for the regular voters, rain and all it extended that early and under the rain all the way to The Ice Palace.

By the time I left , no more that 10 minutes The line for the people like me dropping their envelopes had increased easily to about a dozen voters.

Happy that all is in the works for this Election.

Piece of cake....dropped off my ballot at the Coral Gables Library location. Figured it might be less crowded there than heading over to the Stephen P Clark Center....took all of 2 minutes with no line (but supporters for both candidates on the lawn--none with a gun, like the idiot in St Pete)....took me longer, about 3 minutes, driving around the library before I found a parking space in a nearby school lot across the street that a local Gables Police Officer allowed me to park in.

Dropped off my filled in ballot today at the Pinecrest Public Library. I didn't have to wait or get out of my car. I drove around the half circle and handed my ballot and license to someone working there and she stamped it and gave me an "I voted" sticker. I watched as she dropped it into the collection box. I'll track it online in a few days.

There were a lot of people standing around with signs. Why do they bother this late in the game? If someone is going to vote in voting locations, you would think their minds were already made up??

Yep, my envelope was already sealed. Did they think I was going to throw it away and ask for a new ballot? I suppose they try to convince those going in to vote who don't have the mailed one?

And I read complaints on Nextdoor that some of the poling places in Coral Gables and downtown don't have enough parking and poll workers and sign holders are using up all the parking. Oh what a wonderful world we live in! lol

And I thought you voted for someone named Demasiado Tarde Señora until I googled that! hahaha

It takes all kinds...I am white as milk, european roots looks with black hair and almost no Gray in there at 70 yrs Old, in Miami they talk to me in Spanish when they see me coming, In Tarpon Springs, Fl, and Astoria in NY City in Greek, in Little Italy, NY in Italian and in Spain they hate me because my spanish is not castillian, therefore they know I am there from S America to Steal in the Stores, To Steal their Jobs and to cause chaos in their country...(In reality nothinn but a US Citizen there to further enrich their Tourism Industry, and they do not appreciate that ) What a Crock.

It IS what It Is !!!! In The USA we are better than a Melting Pot. In Spain a Bed Pan at best !!!!

I never received a ballot in the mail, but I went to a local library late Sunday afternoon, more campaign and electoral staff than voters, all staff was patient and sweet as pie, everyone was wearing masks, plenty of hand sanitizer, no wait, a staffer printed the ballot, a few minutes to fill in, and out.
