Finally got around to joining DU today. I've been a dedicated reader for years, but I am the king of procrastination. Got my ballot in today's mail, filled it out, voted for Kamala Harris & Tim Walz, then dropped the completed ballot off a the the Post Office. Vote early and by mail if you are able. Our countrys' future depends on it.

Whatever hobbies you have, there's probably a group that promotes them! I belong to the Photo Group and it's a blast.
Here's the link, in case you're interested: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1036
It's a friendly place with great photos to view.

Every vote counts, even if not every count votes.

(8,849 posts)I vote early, but in person. There's nothing that will satisfy me more than going into the voting booth and filling out the form for our next president Kamala Harris and all the down ballot Democrats I'll vote for as well.

For elections, it keeps you better informed than any other news source.
Cool! Glad you finally stepped up.

(578 posts)makes ya feel good. I submitted my vote a week ago. I'm monitoring the ballot all the way to the end of being counted. In our state, we can scan a QR code that came with the absentee ballot to get an immediate status of our ballots. And FYI, you must have your vote notarized. I felt absolutely great as soon as I dropped it off at the post office, inside. I eliminated as much tampering as possible, going this route.
