The clickety-clack machines wouldn't let you vote for two candidates for the same office!
The scanners won't let you either, or so I found out. I ended up having 3 ballots printed because I messed up the first one, then the poll dude voided the wrong one and they had to print another. I told him I thought he was just trying to make me feel better.
I was going to let the mistake go, but it was attorney general for the state and I didn't want the other guy. So I marked twice to void it, I thought. The scanner spit it back out.
I voted for marijuana!
I was pleased to be able to do a write-in vote against the St Louis County prosecutor, who is otherwise running unopposed.
Voting achieved. I don't have to get anything else done today if I've done that, right? Right.

Since I work for the city, I get off of work today! So this is literally true for me.
I voted last week, so no long waits at the polls for me. (Somehow my parents and I ended up with the same regular voting location despite me living downtown and them on the southwest edge of town. Which tells me that location is going to be swamped with many thousands of voters today and a parking lot that holds about 60 cars.)
I voted last Tuesday. I'd also like to have the option to opt out of political ads. Some of them have gotten very nasty in the last few days. I don't normally go "Dude, you did not say that!" to the radio.
I was in WI this weekend and the ads there were so much worse than the IL ones. Hard to fathom.
Since Cincinnati is right across the river from Kentucky, we get political ads for Kentucky, and the McConnell/Grimes race is FIERCE. I'm so glad it's over today, because I am so sick of those ads.
Sigh, our pizza for the lunch meeting tomorrow has been cancelled because people didn't chip in their $5. I was counting on not having to think about that meal, dammit.

Wisconsin politics have gotten 100 times scarier since I left 23 years ago.
