65. Mailed absentee ballot at local post office 10/5/20.

I trust the Post Office more than certain other segments of the federal government at this moment. Do I think my ballot will be counted as cast? There's a reasonably good chance of that because I'm in a blue state. Do I think votes cast in other places will be flipped or "lost"? Probably.

[maveric]

66. Dropped ours off at the San Diego county registrars the other day.

They made very convenient with a drive-thru. Waited about 45 seconds in line.

[boston bean]

[mnhtnbb]

69. I just hand delivered my NC absentee ballot to the County Board of Elections office

which is a 15 minute drive from my apartment. We have to go through hoops to vote absentee here in NC. A witness signature is required on the back of absentee ballots, and there are restrictions for who qualifies as a witness. Living alone, I had someone who works in the apartment building be my witness--and I verified she was registered to vote--before turning in my ballot.

When I arrived at the County Board of Elections office there were several parking places available, but not a lot. There was a security guard outside to check masking. There were blue markings on the floor inside to keep social distancing. There was a guide seated to point me in the right direction. More markings on the floor in the room where ballots were being collected. Another guide. Two people seated behind plexiglass. I walked right up to one of them. No waiting. I was handed a form to fill out--dated, timed, printed name, address, signed name swearing this was my ballot I was returning. Asked if I had a pen to fill out the form (although they had pens available). The person took my ballot and the form and my next step will be to check on-line that the ballot has been accepted without being disqualified for some reason (only showing it was mailed currently).

I had intended to early vote in person four blocks from my apartment but the location where I have voted since moving downtown 2 1/2 years ago was not included on the list of early voting sites. So since my ballot arrived before early voting starts this Thursday, I decided to use the absentee ballot and return it in person.

When I can verify on-line that my ballot has been accepted, I'll come back and update this post.

On edit: 1,300,919 absentee ballots have been requested as of today from the NC Board of Elections. A total of 478,091 absentee ballots have been returned to date.

Updated: my ballot has been confirmed and accepted as of 10/14/2020! Yay!

[babydollhead]

70. voted! dropped our ballots off in person!!

[MineralMan]

71. We voted two weeks ago, by dropping our absentee ballot

off at our local library. The clerk at the library is an official election judge. She checked our signatures and made sure we had filed out the ballot envelope correctly. Then, we dropped our ballots into a slot in an official, locked ballot collection bag. Two days later the Minnesota Secretary or State's office website confirmed that our ballots had been accepted and will be counted.

The bags are picked up daily by an official in our county's election office.

Vote Early if You Can! Vote however you can in your state.

[Marthe48]

[ColoradoBlue]

75. Voted!

Hubby and I got our ballots on Saturday while we were camping. Got home Sunday, filled them out, and I took them to a dropbox within two miles of our house. Colorado will text us when they've received them and when they have been counted. All states should make it so easy.

I have voted in most elections since I turned 18. I am 53 now and have NEVER been so eager to cast a vote in my entire life.

[Retrograde]

76. Dropped my CA ballot off on Saturday

Decided to use the drop-box at city hall, since it was only one block further than the post office and I was going that way in the first place (yes, it's an official one: the county sent a list of official drop boxes in the sample ballot, and another copy with the actual ballot). Now checking my email regularly to make sure it was picked up.

89. Done a week ago in ME... First Presidential Ranked Choice race ever

Also used the official ballot drop box for my city. Checked it online a few days letter and ballots were processed and accepted for all three of the voters in my family. This is my son's first general election voting. He turns 18 next Monday. We got to use ranked choice voting on the prez race. First time any state has done that. Also ranked the US house the senate races. First time using ranking in a race with Susan Collins. It was used in Angus King's race a couple years ago. Of course we voted for Biden, Sara Gideon for senate and Jared Golden for house.

[mercuryblues]

97. I voted today

I was going to wait and vote on election day. Circumstances put in doubt if I would be home to vote and I wanted to make sure I voted. The wait was 1 hour and the line never let up. social distancing and masks were a requirement inside. I only saw 4 people not wearing a mask while waiting in line.

For school board, I googled all the names to help me decide, as it is non-partisan. There was one candidate that I told family and friends to not vote for, I'll call her the mean girl. She has won conservative awards and stuff. Articles about her try to spin that she is doing a great service being on the board, when in fact all she does is deride other board members and cause problems. She claims she is the victim. Lo and behold, she comes up and tries to introduce herself, sans mask. I backed right the fuck up and gave her the stink eye.

I turned my head and she made a beeline to the maskholes, skipping the 6 or so African Americans in line behind us. She got right up to them, no social distancing and had a rousing conversation with them. Someone will get Covid before election day. I smiled.

The mood inside was jovial. The poll workers were pleasant, and joking around with the guy that was in front of us, then us. If not for Covidtrump, we could have had a great time while waiting in line. By the time we voted the maskholes were inside the mood was definitely gone.

[MFGsunny]

98. Voted in person FIRST day of early voting here. Biden-Harris and all Dems down ballot. n/t

[Backseat Driver]

99. I was given a very nice little stylus with which to machine vote today!

It was all very organized; the line was long but moved right along at a distance-marked pace and most everyone was mask-compliant -- a large portion of weight feels lifted, and I anticipate results night!

Yes, I VOTED!

[BumRushDaShow]

113. They have been phasing in "satellite elections offices" here in Philly and I voted today

These locations supplement the 2 regular election offices in the city.

Got my mail-in ballot last week, filled it out, and took it over to one of the locations near me this afternoon. These satellite offices also allow people to register to vote, request and get approval for an absentee (regular or "no excuse" ) ballot, and complete/turn in that absentee ballot on the spot. There was a line (socially-distanced) for people doing just that too!

These are not considered "polling places" as there is no "in-person early voting" here in PA. They just process applications for and drop-offs of mail-in (absentee) ballots and register people to vote.
,
There was also someone from the Biden/Harris campaign there who set up shop outside of the location and he had a table full of campaign stuff - those small cardboard signs, buttons, vinyl stickers, and lawn signs (plus a few other things I couldn't catch). Copped a few - and they were FREE. I was to "promise" to "text 3 friends to remind them to vote" as "payment".

[BumRushDaShow]

126. Got a confirmation email from the state (PA) overnight confirming my ballot was received & recorded

[Maeve]

119. In person early vote Columbus Ohio Tuesday

Long line but moved fast. Since I am registered with a track your ballot site I got an email confirmation

[ffr]

122. Done!

Was going to wait to EV, but the 1/4 mile long lines I've been seeing in swing states got me worried a little.

My ballot comes with a tracking number, so I'll be able to verify that it's been counted. The clerk already stamped it with some sequential number. I feel confident it's going to be counted.

Everyone masked and socially distant (also a surprise, even though there's a mandate here), about a 2:1 female to male ratio, a median age of around 40. I myself am in my late 50s.

[Dem2]

130. I handed mine to the town clerk (who wasn't wearing a mask, BTW)

Ironic that NOT ONE PERSON IN MY TOWN HALL WAS WEARING A MASK even though they allow people to drop absentee ballots (due to Covid) there!

I feel like an article needs writing in the local paper.

141. Count me in w/spouse.

[Lars39]

142. Voted absentee, so did spouse.

[volstork]

143. Voted!!

I live in a blue dot in the midst of our blood-red state, so my vote really doesn't count at all (thanks, Electoral College), but I happily stood in line for 2 hours to cast my vote for Biden/Harris, as well as for my uncontested Democratic Congressman and for our Democratic candidate for Lamar Alexander's seat (which will surely go to the political hack whose campaign signs "proudly" read in large letters, "Endorsed by Trump).

Since I turned 18 in 1984, I have voted in every Presidential election save one, and most all of the other state and local elections. Standing in the "booth" causes me to well up with tears, which I usually try to conceal from the sweet retirees who work the polls and help orient you to the machine. I remember going into the huge booth with the curtain with my mom as a child in the early 70s, and even then being struck by the import-- the weight--of it. That big red lever that recorded the vote did so with a definitive ka-chunk-- a sound that startled and impressed me. My parents assured that, from an early age, my siblings and I understood that this was a duty not to be shirked or ignored or thrown away; both had lived through the war and had seen what it meant to be lax about democracy.

I wish my vote counted; it doesn't in our antiquated, inequitable system.

But I still voted for Joe and Kamala today, and I was enormously proud to do so.

[LAS14]

148. The popular vote still counts, psychologically, and politically!! We'd rather be able...

... to say how soundly Hillary beat Trump in the popular vote than not, right? Go volstork!!!!

146. My wife and i are on the way now to drop our ballots

off in the ballot drop box.

[tnlurker]

147. The wife and I voted yesterday in TN

nt

[jmowreader]

149. I took my ballot straight to the election office

Fuck Trump’s attempts to fuck up the mail service.

I voted Biden and every Democrat on the ballot. In Idaho there are many races that only have a Republican on the ballot, and they receive no vote from me.

[SheltieLover]

150. I voted in persom Thursday

This is a suburb of Memphis. So red that local Dems don't even bother run in races.

There were 15 in line ahead of me. Despite the photo ID check & electronic verification, the line moved quickly & I was out the door in about 10-15 min.

Hand sanitizer inside entry door, distanced waiting line and, wouldn't you know it, ONE of the 2 chwck-in ladies had mask below nose, with a face shield on. REPUKE!

Waiting line remained steady, but moved well.

The great news is that early voting is up 84% in Shelby County, the blue area of Memphis!

It felt SO GREAT to vote against putin's boys & girls! Time for our country to once again be run by adults.

So, after I voted & left, I proceeded to drive to the post office that another person's absentee ballot was addressed to.

I tried GPSing USPS with the 1st 5 digitis of zip code but could not find! So I called election commission & they gave me street address of USPS.

So again, I GPS, but zip is 1 digit off. I called election board again & get the typical "nobody has called about this or asked about it."

Inside, I asked man working tge counter. He said they use a different zip code for PO boxes. (I've never seen this!)

So I shared how I'd GPSd etc in an effort to "lessen the burden on the postal workers."

He looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Yeah, I will definitely be voting in person."

Of course, this elicited the expected, "then why are ypu mailing ballot?" Very suspicious of my actions. Old white malw, odds are, he is a repuke.

I explained that I was mailing for another person.

So 2 in this week for our side!

Note, aside from the races with Dem & repuke candidates, one repuke was unopposed. (Local). I was SO tempted to write in something like "the devil" which would, no doubt, give repukes nightmares. But I didn't for fear of "spoiling" the ballot. No excuses.

No paper trail, either. I used to get a small stub of paper after voting. Inconvenient for repukes I would imagine, as that no longer happens.

I was voter #261. Not sure if that is daily or running tally. I voted on 2nd day of early voting.

[gopiscrap]

151. Our family voted

a total of 5 solid Democratic votes not a single republican vote up or down the ballot

155. I voted, all Dems of course

I dropped off my absentee ballot on Thursday. In Idaho. That sure felt good.

[MrsCoffee]

156. Had my husband drop it at city hall. It has been accepted and "will be counted".

I get text messages as it goes through each step.

When I asked my husband where he dropped it off, he said "Oh I saw one outside of the church over on xxx street." As I whipped my head around with my eyes threatening to leave their sockets, I saw the look on his face that made me realize he was pulling my leg. He has a very interesting sense of humor.

[Cbus Girl]

157. I voted

in person in Columbus Ohio Thursday afternoon. It was 50 degrees and raining so the line was short only took 20 minutes. The line has been at least an hour long since early voting started here.

[JCMach1]

158. Wife and I did Friday. All blue Collin County, TX

[Politicub]

159. I voted yesterday in Georgia!

The wait was about an hour, and the line moved steadily.

Two for all blue!

[klook]

160. Voted early on Wednesday 10/14 in Georgia!

It took about a half hour and was smooth sailing. This is in metro Atlanta. Huge enthusiasm all over town, with many many opportunities to vote early in person or via absentee ballot.

County elections office said they have received it today!

164. I voted and my ballot is in the mail.

[nolabear]

165. SO happy to have voted and dropped my ballot off!

Wish I could post my photo, in my Grateful Dead “Vote: This darkness has got to end” shirt, dropping off my ballot along with a stream of others, in front of the local library. We all smiled at one another o er our masks. We know.

[MoonRiver]

166. Hubs and I voted today!

[FreeState]

172. Just dropped my ballot off! SD CA n/t

[LisaL]

173. Voted by mail in OH.

Just got notified that my ballot was accepted. Which in OH means that the board looked over the envelope and everything was filled out correctly, including the signature.
The board will scan the ballots before the election and the totals will be tallied on election night (so no "red mirage, thank you very much).

[Demsrule86]

174. I live in Ohio too...we could end Trump's chance if we turn Ohio ...fingers crossed.

[LisaL]

179. And USPS worked just fine.

I got the ballot the next day after it was mailed. I mailed it back this week and it's already accepted. I also signed up for notifications on BallotTrax, which means they send you emails (or texts if that's what you want) when your ballot gets accepted.
It's a good idea for everybody to check the status of their ballot, because many states allow voters to "cure" their ballots if some mistake was made.

[Demsrule86]

183. I missed mail in September but it seems fine now.

[grantcart]

175. Dropped off Phoenix

Steady, heavily Democratic area

Well organized with security

sad we don't get stickers that say we voted but kicking #fatdonnie out of the PEOPLE"S White House is good enough for me

[calimary]

177. Voted! Thursday 10/15/20!

An hour or two after we received our mail-in-ballots.

Plopped 'em in the ballot drop-box in our city hall parking lot, in the same place it was in 2018.

DONE! Two more for Joe and Kamala!

And proudly voted "D" all the way down to the bottom.

[cry baby]

184. Voted Friday in person to turn Tennessee blue! Wishful thinking? nt

[hurl]

185. Did my part to turn Texas blue!

My honey and I voted in person today (10/18). I live in a rural, red county, and Trump flags are everywhere. We are allowed to vote in any polling location in the county, so we chose a small-town polling place where voters normally are outnumbered by poll workers during early voting.

Not the case today.

Masks were required, and they had a supply for those who didn't bring one, plus a hand sanitizer dispenser. We all got a disposable plastic glove to use on the touch-screen system. Our voting machines were purchased by the county for the 2018 election cycle and use paper ballots. Both local parties agreed on this selection.

The story goes that Texas isn't as much a red state as it is a non-voting state. Well, turnout across the state is setting records, so I have hope. Beto invigorated Democrats last cycle, and that energy appears to be more than a fluke.

Texas may or may not go blue this cycle, but if nothing else, we will reaffirm the message we sent in 2018: Democrats can and will compete here. Texas is is no longer a lock where the GOP can count on and divert resources elsewhere.

Once we actually do manage to flip Texas, GOP presidential aspirations will evaporate into nothing more than a disgusting residue.

So I survived long enough to get my vote for Democrats in every single race we're in for 2020, and it felt great!

[mucifer]

186. did my part to keep Chicago blue today. Yeah I know...

But, I can still be excited!!!

[BlueInPhilly]

192. Voted in PA

Dropped our ballots at a designated place on a Saturday, there was an attendant by the ballot box and a guard standing about 6 feet away. Few cars came bearing voters as well. Got an email last Friday that our ballots have been received. Easy peasy.

More stressed out waiting for the ballots to arrive.

[Andy823]

193. voted by mail in Washington State

Sent in the mail on Monday.

[StarryNite]

194. I dropped my ballot at a ballot drop box located inside a town hall.

Walked in, dropped it in the box with no issues. Later I heard that another ballot drop box inside a different town hall a short distance away had a couple of trump goons standing outside. That location only has a drop box, no actual voting inside. What did those idiots think they were going to accomplish? Did they think they would intimidate people from dropping off their ballots?

[DrToast]

195. +1 for Biden Harris in the great state of Nevada

I waited about an hour to vote early this morning. The line was moving pretty well, but somehow I got stuck behind a guy wearing a Trump t-shirt, a mask, and hat. And he wouldn't stop talking about how great Trump was. Needless to say, I'm not buying the "shy Trump voter" stuff.

[backtoblue]

196. Early voted in person AR today

[Tom Kitten]

197. I voted by mail dropped it off Saturday

200. I voted

I did indeed

[amb123]

201. Received my ballot on the 12th

filled it out on the 13th, dropped it off at my local early voting center on the 14th, my signature was verified on the 16th and my vote was counted today.

Thank goodness my state of Arizona has a Democratic Secretary of State and Maricopa County has a Democratic County Recorder. I shudder to think what would happen if that was not the case.

[Aristus]

202. Dropped our ballots off in the drop-box last night.

Straight Democratic ticket, baby!

[krawhitham]

203. Self, wife, son, mother, & mother in law. All ballots droped off and accepted in Ohio

Straight Dem ticket for all

[crosinski]

204. Hubby and I both voted!

Dropped the ballots off at city hall. Checked online today to see that they’ve both been received. Although we've never missed an election, it feels extra good to know our votes will count in this one.

We're in Michigan, by the way.

[Beringia]

205. I voted by Dropbox yesterday in Cicero, Illinois

The lady at the door told me to get in the voting line, which I did until I saw someone else just walk up to the DropBox. The line was really really slow, and it is early voting. Also I had to search for the place to enter to vote. No big signs outside in front encouraging people to come in and vote. That sign is in the back of the place, which you don't see until you park and walk around back.

[R B Garr]

206. We dropped ours off at the Registrar's last week!

We were worried about the ballots not arriving at first, but our neighbors texted us saying they got the same story about their late ballots, but they finally arrived.

We drove them in to drop off at the County office instead of sending via mail. There was already a lot of activity in the parking lot and they hadn't set up the drive-up / drop-off boxes yet so people were parking and walking to the box.

We got our notifications that our ballots were accepted and counted!

[wcmagumba]

207. Checked the web site in Kansas and ballot was "received and accepted"...

not sure exactly what that means but can't be bad...

[onethatcares]

208. 2 in person for Joe this morning

my wife and I.

Sadly, the poll workers can't understand that wearing political gear inside the polling station is not allowed. It was not a Biden/Harris supporter at 9:15 am. at the early voting site on First Ave. N, in St Petersburg FL.

I guess we'll chalk it up to him being unable to read.

[FakeNoose]

209. I mailed my ballot last Thursday 10/15/20

By Friday 10/16 it was received and counted at the Allegheny County board of Elections.

Allegheny County PA is doing it right!
Thank you U.S. Postal Service!

[Alacritous Crier]

[KY_EnviroGuy]

213. Voted by mail in Kentucky and the system worked well.

Dropped my ballot off at the post office inside drop box around 3am and got confirmation on-line at county court clerk web site two days later.

Grateful we have a system that protects us who are at high risk with COVID-19.

Thanks, Gov. Andy Beshear!.......

[peggysue2]

214. Voted in-person early

My husband was the last in line on Friday, the 16th. He waited about an hour. I voted Saturday afternoon, little under an hour. Weirdly, neither of us had intended to vote on those days. We both had mailings to do, looked across the street, gauged the lines and thought: why not?

Also happy to say everyone was masked and observed the 6ft social distancing suggestion. The polling station had workers available to answer any and all questions, reminded voters to completely fill in the boxes (no check marks or X's) and to turn the 2-page ballot over. These were paper ballots that on completion were fed into a scanner. Once read, the scanner screen lights up and indicates that your vote has been counted. Easy-Peasy. Nice feeling, too.

Wait times have reportedly varied in our district, anywhere from a 4-5 hours to the hour length my husband and experienced. We lucked out. Overall the traffic to and from the local polling station has been steady and heavy. Good to see.

Headed into the home stretch now! You can sense the tension everywhere. But I'm feeling really positive. My oldest son will be leading a hike somewhere in Oklahoma on Election Day. He's hoping to catch a signal by the end of the day or on the 4th to find out the election results. He said "When I call you can tell me if it's safe to come out of the wilderness."

LOL. Think that statement applies to a lot of us.

[marlakay]

215. Dropped off at drop box today

In Oregon. I took a pic to send my kids because daughter sent me pic of her I voted sticker.

220. Voted this morning in Wyandotte Co KS

Very well run, took about 30 minutes as I was there when they opened. It has been busy there. I saw the lines later in the day and one of the people working told me it's been way busier than usual.

Voted Biden/Harris, Bollier for Senate, Davids for House and on the judicial retention votes I looked up to see which ones were appointed by Sam Brownhole (R-Taliban) to vote for their removal.

[ornotna]

221. Took my mail in ballot

223. My Husband And I Voted

We dropped our completed ballots in one of the brand new ballot boxes!

President/VP: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Senate: Cory Booker
House: Mikie Sherrill

And various county and local races.

It was easy.



New Jersey sent out ballots to EVERY registered voter in New Jersey. No fuss. No fights.

We didn't have ballot boxes for the primaries. But our governor said they would be ready for the general election and they were! Almost every town has their own ballot box!

Thankfully, Governor Phil Murphy does everything without fuss. He just gets it done.

[PETRUS]

224. Just last night!

My wife and I dropped our ballots off with the city. They've set up a drive-through drop box - super convenient! Following the primaries, we got emails a few days after we mailed in our ballots, so we'll be watching for that. It's also possible to go online and check the status, so I'll probably do that in a few days if I haven't received an email.

[PETRUS]

229. Got my email confirmation today...

...telling me my ballot was received and signature verified.

[bottomofthehill]

225. I voted today, Northern VA

Myself, My 18 yr old daughter and her 2 roommates ALL voted today!

We got curbside lunch and sat in the car and ate and filled out our ballots and then put them all in the special dropbox at the grocery store..

Rural Sierra CA, no more actual pollilng places, I think there's an in person "drop off" place on actual Election Day.

But this was fun, we made it a thing and my daughter who is a Poli Sci Major did research and marked up her booklet with notes, it was really cute. We had some discussion about what this or that means, like bond measures and the like.
(She was really the one who made sure her roommates got registered She badgered them until they did it and made sure they mailed the receipt back in time)

It was really sweet ~ I'm so proud of them!

[Chainfire]

270. First day of early, in person voting.

The Piney Woods of East Texas, Houston County.

Confusingly, Houston is in Harris County. (SHOUTOUT YO HOMIES!) They named everything they could after Sam Houston and Davy Crockett.

The turnout has been good. I talked to one of my fellow Democratic poll workers and they said there were 10,000 eligible voters in Houston County. My ballot had #6077 on it.

They had a tablet that scanned the bar code on your driver's license and brought up your name and address. Then they gave me a paper ballot. I have voted every two years since Jimmy Carter in 1976.

I worked at the polls on Super Tuesday and the primary runoff. I am going to be an election judge at a very small town polling place. I just hope we don't have any open carry nuts brandishing their weapons.

289. Yay, finally got to the Early Voting Site!

😁🗳️ 🇺🇸

This site was rather further away than my usual one. I didn't make my first try bc one bus stop it was around 4+PM (rush hour) only had the Limited Stop bus which was too far to walk to site. When I got the Local stop the street was under construction so no stop I could get the local bus.
So set my sights for Sat.

I decided to vote in person bc I was afraid that my signature these last bunch of years doesn't match what's been on record in the paper books they use (used to? they may have switched to the electronic stuff with names and addresses last year, and a tablet that I had to sign - but I can't quite remember) on Election Day.

I had my absentee ballot filled out, and in evelope just in case there was some unforeseen reason I couldn't stay. They asked to see ID (NYC) - cause I think I mentioned the worry about the signature. I have NYS non-drivers State ID. Showed them that, signed the tablet, and got my ballot.

Went to voting station. They handed each person a "Vote Pen". Got the 'I Voted Early' Sticker, and they even gave us a "I Voted Early" wristband. Everything was well spaced out. People were helpful. Definitely pumped my fist once I got outside.... "Yes!!!". 😁 Took some selfies though phone wasn't quite far enough away to catch the sticker.
I did one w "V" for Victory! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

NYS is relatively new to Early Voting. My first time, so it feels a little odd knowing there are 3 days left.

I also kind of miss the ole big voting machines with the curtains, the pull level into voting position, the little click into place levels, but most of all the satisfying 'chunk' sound when you moved the level back to record your vote! 😁

Now I have to see if I can do any voter calling over next 3 days.

295. I early voted on Friday and dropped my mom's absentee ballot

in the drop box, in Central New York.

We went to the most rural early voting location available, and were able to avoid long lines or parking difficulties. There was a short line, but it was very quick.

I wore a full hazmat suit with a face shield and gloves, as well as two masks. Not taking any chances.

296. My dh and I voted in person on Wednesday at an early voting site in CNY.

297. I recently moved out of state

but got my new residency established right away and voted using a drop-off box. Whew, I'd been afraid I might not be able to vote because I didn't know how long it would take me to establish residency and get my ballot mailed to me.

308. Just returned from casting my ballot in a majority minority district in DFW TX

No exciting anecdotes to tell. The line was about thirty people, all in masks (TX doesn't require a mask to vote) which I figure is a good sign. Voted for every Democrat on the ticket, and came home.

Now signing off all social media for the night, about to eat dinner and we're going to watch Greyhound w/ Tom Hanks after that and then go to bed... turning the clock has me feeling off a bit.




My last guess before the results begin to roll in...

(D/R)
Electoral 321-217
Senate 52/48
House 197/154

[Renew Deal]

309. Voted

310. I early voted last Friday

in Western NY, straight blue across the top line of the ballot. I have never in my life voted R for anyone, national or local, it's always D, and am proud of it.
