Just curious how many folks are going to brave the "Rona" and vote at their local polling site.
Because I know I will. And honestly, you should too. There is no better way to know your vote is counted than filling out your ballot and then physically taking it over to the tabulator, placing it into the machine and watching it record your vote. That is how you make sure your vote counts. Go to your polling place and place your vote. I will also be working the polls on Election Day, just as I have for the last 8 years. And if most other polling sites are running things the way we are this year, I can promise you that you will have a clean and safe experience. The Board of Elections in my city are actually hiring extra workers for every site just to maintain a clean environment.These people will be wiping down booths after every user. We are also giving a new pen (unless they bring their own) to every voter so you never use anyone's pen. All workers in gloves and masks. This will be as close to "no contact" voting as you could possibly get and you will still get to go and watch your vote get recorded in the tabulator. Honestly people, it's the way to go. You get out, and you vote like the Americans you are. We don't hide, we don't shirk our responsibilities, and we respect and honor our traditions. Make damn sure your vote counts. Come and see me at the polling site.(if you aren't in my district don't come to my polling site)
You can rotate pens and try to make the experience safe but that will never reduce the risk of those waiting in line. We see the lines on a normal election, and this is hardly a normal election with this particular President. If you space voters 6 feet apart that would require citizens to behave and we've already seen how that works out. Even if they do it will literally be a mile long in some places.
oh for heavens sake: you certainly are smart to know what I meant. I was talking national elections. There are never any excuses for not going to the polls when we are voting in local elections and this thread is about major elections, not school board, mayor or whatever.
And I vote in each one. Why you are getting hung up on HOW I vote is weird.
Lol, safe and secure you say? Well, there is this new thing some must not have heard about yet. It's called "identity theft" and the more you do in the digital world the higher risk you run that someone will get your information and use it to their advantage. In fact, turn on your radio at any time and within a 20 or 30 minutes I guarantee you will hear an add for some company that wants you to pay them to help protect you in the digital world. So....not really all that safe and secure is it. However, I do hope you are one of the lucky ones, and that you never endure any troubles whilst moving your money from here to there online or whatever else you may do digitally. As for me, I'll stick with doing my banking and my voting in person.
Yes, let's stay in the stone age. It's much safer.
Voting in person depends on what the virus is up to in November for me.
If it's safe to vote in person, I probably will, but if not, I'll vote by mail.
Idaho did a very good job of holding a by-mail only primary, so I don't expect to have any problems with it for the general election.
But I live only a block and and half from my polling place, and I like all the election workers who show up time after time there. So voting in person for me is as convenient as voting by mail, and a better experience. I always enjoy the walk, and I always pick a light hour of the day to go vote.
Folks with your attitude are one of the bigger reasons why widespread mail in voting is a bad idea. If you're too lazy to go cast your own vote or have such little regard for your vote that you think it's a waste of time and effort then frankly who gives a crap what you think? Why should you have any say in who wins the election?
Nice word salad, mixed with more melodrama. I vote like clockwork in a method that's easiest for me. Because, you know, voting should be easy, right? Or is this another virtue signalling attempt... Oh, look at me and how I stand in line like the real American I am. What BS.
Bet you walked five miles to school barefoot, too. Damn those school buses, lazy brats!
if you read precisely then you have to know how i will vote. Your question is extremely deceptive. What bother you is that I am saying the truth and nothing else than the truth.
It might just be maturity and a renewed interest in politics, but now that I live in a state that uses mail ballots, I spend a lot more time and effort learning about local races and issues than I did when visiting a polling place to vote. I usually spend many hours over several days with my computer and voter’s guide open before me while filling in my ballot. I think the quality of my vote has improved through the use of mail ballots.

Nope not for me, I'll vote early or mail in.
Vote mail-in and your candidates will be counted in the dumpsters of the mail distribution centers or the US Postal offices. When you vote mail-in you are given the power to handle your vote to employees of companies that are not workers of the Electoral County Departments. Your vote won't be Direct and Secret as the Constitution mandates. That's violation of the Constitution and empowerment of the corruption that the Socialist Democrats are stablishing for the sinking of the American Nation. Be preparing your application for your United Socialist States of America citizenship.

I'm going to be one of the first in line, in person, at early voting.
We need to all go to the precincts, even if you've got to wear a mask and stay six feet apart. Don't be deceived into believing that the concept of mail-in ballots can be successful. It won't be. You need to know election results on election night, not next July. Secondly, those of you planning to vote by mail are going to risk not having your vote count or get your ballot lost in the mail because the infrastructure likely won't be there. It will not be worth it.

Yes - do you understand what TLDR stands for? It may well be buried among your rambling manifesto but I lost interest before I got there.
