Members bbach Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 I usually use the early voting method when I feel clear on who I'm voting for, both on the national and local ballots. My vote has been cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tremolounge Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Because I live in a fairly small town, long lines have never really been a problem, even on election days with a big turnout. I like the community feeling of a busy polling place, too. Come to think of it, I don't think Massachusetts even has early voting. But I can certainly see why people in cities would use the early option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueStrat Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 I wouldn't do it.What if you voted, only to find out the night before election day that the guy you voted for is in fact really a flesh eating alien who requires 11 small children a day for his sustenance, and he has a legion of followers on the way? Please, wait until election day. For the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spokenward Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Does early voting end today everywhere? It does around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbach Posted October 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Does early voting end today everywhere? It does around here. From what I understand, you can go down to our county auditors office and vote and day prior to Tuesday the 4th, and of course not on the weekend when the office is closed. I could be wrong. I did my voting by absentee ballot by mail. In ND, you don't actually have to be absent to use the absentee ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had courthouse voting here on Sunday AM (try that some places - ) Early voting does, in fact, end today here. Absentee rules here were unchanged by early voting. You still have to request a ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you find out the guy is a huge mistake after election day...I wonder, for example, if, most Bush supporters feel terrible for their horrible lapse in judgment (twice). Perhaps they should apologize to the children and sit this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted October 30, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I haven't. I have voted early when I've had a legitimate reason to do so, like I'd be out of town on election day. It used to be easy - I'd just walk in, vote, and be out in less than 5 minutes. But last time I did it, I think probably 8 years ago, there was a long line, a lot of confusion, and I think it took me over an hour to vote and get out of there. And this year, when they're urging people to vote early, they've cut back on the absentee voting hours here and they're open only from 4-8 PM on weekdays. No fun for this mostly stay-at-home retiree. I'll take my chances with the regular polling place on election day. It's rarely very crowded during the mid-morning, after people who were voting on the way to work have cleared out and the lunch-hour voters haven't arrived yet.

Members meccajay Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 I just came back from voting.. Glad I got that over with. *whew* I took an hour and a half, but going my friends in other Georgia counties who had to wait 4 hours or so, this was a sprint in comparison.
