My 2 kids voted absentee ballot I nagged them until they did. My ex also voted absentee ballot. I also nagged him. He has a business trip and I suspect he might have not bothered. I did not give advice on whom to vote for. My DD I knew without her saying. My DS asked and I said use your critical thinking skills and vote accordingly. Ex I have no idea, he may cancel out some of my votes. I don’t suspect so but I really have no idea.
At this point I can’t vote until Tuesday. I wish we had early in person voting.

Early voted in person in the first day, with long lines. TN is known for very low voter turn out compared to other states, but by reports so far early voting this election has surpassed state records!

DH and I voted 2 weeks ago during the first week of early voting.
Early voting numbers are at record high levels in my county.
I hope this means a change for the better.

I am assuming Compwalla was one of the regulars on the political threads which I don't read unless I have read everything else lol.
I too work the polls so I have early voted. As an immigrant turned US citizen I take the right to vote seriously. As a permanent resident I paid taxes, could serve in the military, was subject to all the same rights/laws as a citizen except to vote. Why anyone would choose "taxation without representation" for themselves I don't know. I didn't enjoy not having a voice at that time.

USA Peas: Check in to let us know you have voted in the 2018 midterm election. I don’t care who you voted for, but in honor of Virginia/ compwalla , I think that we should just shout out when/that we have voted. No early voting in NYS so I will vote on Tuesday |

My DH and I voted last Sunday. There is always a line-hoping that means a great voter turnout.
I am also handing out “apple ballots” on Election Day for teacher supported candidates. 👍🏼

By mail, last week. There were five cars at the drop off box 10 days before Election Day. I’m amazed by how much early voting is happening this year. I hope the systems in place can accurately tally all these early votes. |

I voted at the beginning of October. A few years ago Minnesota became a state where anyone can request an absentee ballot. Even though it's not a big deal for me to vote locally, I prefer to do it early. You never know what might come up.

Voted last night! Wild and crazy Friday night 😂 I tried to go in the afternoon before I picked my kids up from school and the line was crazy... was going to be at least on hour. I overheard a poll worker saying that they had been completely caught off guard by voter turnout at that particular location this year. And voters were taking a lot of time at the machines. I told DH I was hopeful that meant people weren’t just clicking straight ticket and were actually taking the time to pick the best candidate for each position. And FTR, despite my general ill feelings towards one party I still voted a split ticket too.
eta- several years ago our state did away with local, assigned precincts for voting. In exchange we got fewer locations but early voting for several days at various hours. I cannot imagine that it has done anything but increase turnout with the added flexibility. I am sure it creates additional challenges for the state and county, but appreciate the options I have.

My dd has done her Virginia absentee ballot from New Orleans, and ds will be voting in Georgia although I don't know if he already has (don't know if they have early voting...) -- And me...well I like to get in line on election day. I know I could vote early but I enjoy doing it in person at the polling location. I especially loved it the first year we were electing Barack Obama when that line wrapped around the block.  |

FCPS is closed Monday and Tuesday- many of the elementary schools are polling places. Since I’ll have ds2 at home, and he isn’t able to wait in lines, I have to vote early in most general elections. I can’t wait to hear from you on Tuesday - hopefully, the polling places will be packed! Thanks everyone who has checked in so far to let us know that they have voted or will vote - it is so important this election!  Go vote! |

No early voting in Connecticut, so I'll be there Tuesday. I only had to nag DS once to do his absentee ballot, which he's done and returned. Trepidatiously slipping a bottle of bubbly into the frig today for Tuesday night returns watch party.

DH, DD and I all voted together ( as is our tradition ) the second day of early voting in Texas. I'll be working at a polling location on election day and I hope I'm really, really busy!
