We're early voting via absentee ballot, but are going to drop the ballots off in the drop box at the Board of Elections, because I don't want to vote in person (as much as I love my neighborhood and know I'll be voting among a group of people who more or less share my political views, I just don't want to deal with coronavirus nonsense).

I'll vote early in person as I need to see the machine record my vote.

Ditto, plus I just love the Scantron machine. So reliable! Paper trail! Records tally instantly AND you can audit the paper ballots.

I'll be working the polls so maybe we will get to vote first!

My parents had to vote absentee when they worked the polls. They never worked their own precinct, not sure if that's why

I'm planning on dropping off my ballot early rather than mailing. I do like voting in person but this year I want my vote officially received as early as possible!

Everyone should vote Scantron. When I worked on a recount it was awesome to have all the rejected ballots to view by human eyes. Also, people weird and write all kinds of stuff on ballots.

The 'naked ballots' thing in PA is crazy. I really hope it has been publicized enough that people do it right.

Dropping off at a drop box is definitely better than the mail. Ohio numbers have been discouraging. I hope the sane people step up.

I think they told me that's why we get two hours off -- to go vote at our own precinct -- but all of my fellow workers had voted early or by "mail." (The city put dropboxes outside every polling place.)

Scantron is the best. We've used it here forever.

We have early voting here. So I'll be voting in person, probably on the day the polls open (Oct. 15). I've been having my groceries delivered or picked them up outside the store and I've been working from home since March. But I'm less endangered by COVID than many, so I'm willing to take the risk to see my ballot go into the machine and get counted. It helps that my voting places are in areas where pretty much everyone is wearing a mask.

It's a problem when participating in democracy means weighing potential death/disabling vs. actually being counted.

Oh, they definitely didn't get two hours off!

work is pissing me off, as usual, and I want to go sit at a counter somewhere and have a beer and a burger and there is just no way to do that. None of the places that I would ordinarily be able to do that even offer beer to go, as far as I can tell. I supposed I could go to the grocery store.

Oh, they definitely didn't get two hours off!

They did say if it's busy, there's no two hours off, but I bet it won't be busy even for the general this year.

I'm planning on early voting in person. I'll go at like 10 AM on a weekday, to try to avoid the times when most people will be going before or after work.

apparently Graham is asking for help and money because of how close the race is in SC. I am trying to be optimistic that he can lose but right now this is more a race Graham is working to win rather than one where the election is more a formality.
