(135,425 posts)First time I have ever done that. I figure it's good for the retirees and unemployed to get in there early, and leave election day to the time-pressed working people (if they haven't gotten out in front of it already).
I've brought dozens of early voters to the polls in the last couple of days--I probably won't have to do any work at all on election day!

I voted at the Spout Springs library today in Flowery Branch. Go Hillary!
napi21
(45,806 posts)and a group of us used to meet once a week to discuss how we could best promote him. The last meeting we had, just before he dropped out of the race, we had over 300 people! They were from all over north GA. Delonega, Cleveland, Winder, etc. I did meet 2 people from Flowery Branch in the Four Seasons subdivision. They, like us (Hubby & me) weren't from Ga. They were from Texas & we are from Pa.
DemKittyNC
(743 posts)In Greensboro, N.C.
Very long lines took us about 2 hours but the wait was worth it. We talked to many people in line while waiting and every one of them was voting for Hillary as well. Scanning the crowd I could not spot one Trump supporter there unless they were hiding really well. Usually you can spot them pretty easily. Saw many bumper stickers for Hillary but nothing for Trump at all in the parking lot. On the way home saw 3 different pro-Hillary signs in peoples yard... no Trump sign was to be seen!
Go Hillary!!!! =)

recovering_democrat
(293 posts)voted when absentee ballot received over a week ago. Used state website and verified ballot was received.
Florida used to disquality ballots that signatures did not match the one on file but changed now they have to let you know of the inconsistency so you can get it fixed. If anyone is in Florida and did mail-in ballot, I suggest you use site just to check for sure it was received and therefore counted properly.
In addition to Dem candidates, voted NO Amendment 1 and YES Amendment 2. Will be excited to see how they do!

(29,955 posts)1st day of early voting in Durham County, NC
One son did as well, the other just got his voters card and will vote between now and election day.
Nothing but democrats of course, though the 33-year-old registered as unaffiliated.
my oldest son sadly refuses to vote, but it's not as consequential because he's still back home in CA

(25,677 posts)...in McHenry County, Illinois, a very red county. Not very busy. Mostly older, but probably a fair amount older, white folks, like we are. I am 65, but nobody believes me because my hair hasn't gone gray yet (thank you to my late dad), and my husband is 71.
No happy faces there, but the people manning the sign-in table were cheerful and pleasant.

(3,868 posts)Republican but not very political. Last week, she saw the ad against Trump that show him mocking the disabled reporter. She did not know anything about Trump making fun of a disabled person until she saw the ad on TV! She was, of course, shocked and disgusted. Interesting that information which we (political junkies) think is "old news" has found new audiences in the month of October.

Just proud to vote for HRC, regardless of the ignorance of my fellow Tennesseans...
