Have you voted yet?

[Bear Paw Jack]

This is not political. Simple yes or no will suffice, I figure the majority here are smart enough to vote right, which the Bible calls wise.
Yes or no and if no if you would care to say why.
For me yes, 2nd day of early voting.

 

[Hawk-in-Wi]

no will do that Tuesday after work

 

[hittman]

Yes, in late September

 

[turd]

No. I'm retired, so no real reason to vote early. Why the rush to vote early? Doesn't make any sense unless you have issues on Nov. 5th or you don't want to wait in line. We'll go midmorning after the folks that have to go to work are done. The voting location is only about 10 blocks away.

 

[Deer Hunter]

No. Tuesday. Polling is a 1 block walk from home.

 

[Mike J]

No, I will vote Tuesday afternoon. There is a polling place a couple of miles from home that isn't usually heavily trafficked at the time I get home from work.
Edited to Add: The why may seem silly. I don't want the other side to have any advance idea of how many votes they might need to come up with to win. I'd rather them get hit at the end.

 

[Skoopski]

Yes, early voted last Friday when I was off. That way I don’t have to worry about Tuesday when I’m working about 3 counties away from my polling place. Wife did it Friday.

 

[JohnL]

I voted in October. Avoid the throng at our village polling place. There are about 160 people here of voting age. Then again, the dead rise from their graves, elks have been enfranchised, and busloads of immigrants arrive on their Around the Polls 2024 National Tour. In other words, what one might expect in New Mexico.

 

[Cholo]

I voted last Tuesday, the first time since the 90's when I was away deer hunting on election day.

 

[farley]

Yep. First day of early voting.

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

I always go vote early AM before work on election day.

 

[eveled]

Yes

 

[Ride1949]

Yes.

My Ballot:

November 5, 2024 General Election Your ballot was received on October 29, 2024.

 

[Acorn]

I was emailed notification my mail in ballot was received today.
I still don’t understand the push for early voting.
It seems a zero sum effort.

 

[mr.deerstalker]

yes, cuz im out if town, deer hunting

Acorn, it’s as simple as the fact that these races are so close, that if one or 2% of the population don’t vote on Election Day, because of weather, line is too long, I had to work late, kid is sick and many other excuses, it can totally throw various elections. People are lazy and don’t take voting seriously, for example 49% of church goers don’t vote, millions of gun owners don’t vote for what ever reason, and it’s important that every eligible voter who take the outcome seriously just flat needs to get it done at some point. Democrats apparently take voting much more seriously than republicans, who seem to place family or work ahead of voting.
Frankly I’m shocked by the number of potential voters that haven’t taken this responsibility seriously.
People worry about how many taxes billionaires pay or don’t pay, but on Election Day, the poorest of people are as powerful as any billionaire.

 

[41Dude]

Yes.

 

[GRAMPS 51]

yes last week

 

[The Norseman]

I will on Tuesday 5 November 2024.

Because of insurgents like this one.

Who knows how many days he did it before getting busted on that day, or how many times in years past he's done it & was never caught.
I seriously doubt he's the only Postal carrier to have done this, has these last weeks & will tomorrow. Not all ballots in all states are in, many are still in transit.
Then there's the unattended ballot box that was set on fire last week, destroying dropped off ballots as well as the unattended USPS mailbox set on fire the week prior.

I've stood in hours long lines to vote every Election Day before early voting was introduced but never cared for it. I LOVE the advent of early voting.

I trust no one with my physical ballot. They always mail me one, which I've never wanted, but I take it with me to surrender it as I early vote & use a machine.
I've been early voting each election ever since it's become a thing. I go 3 or 4 days into the first week that it starts to let the initial crowds die out that like to swamp my polling place the first & second day. I'm in & out in less than 15 minutes.

 

[gunman42782]

yes

 

[Ale-8(1)]

It's early on my Tuesday morning schedule.
