With Covid on the Rise Assume You Will Have It On Election Day Vote Early if You Can

It really feels good to know I have voted and don't have to worry about that.

I know it's challenging in a lot of states.

10. My state (VA) only legalized early/absentee/mail voting this year,

(except for very limited "excuses&quot so this was my very first time doing it that way in 40 years of voting. I was really nervous about the signature requirement; I am basically incapable of signing the same way twice. I practiced for days, to forge a copy of my own signature from my driver's license. I hope "received" means they are OK with the signature too.

2. I am still waiting for early voting to start in my state this weekend.

Probably have to wait till mid-week next week to avoid the long lines on the first few days.

3. Same here- NY

Our first day is this Saturday.

They are only offering voting at Board of election sites, not in our little rural outpost. So, I know I am going to have a wait. Unlike my normal “Under 5 minute” process. But, I don’t care, I am going on the first day with a mask, hand sanitizer, and a book. I want to get my vote in while I am still feeling good.

I have done my 2 weeks of waiting for my flu shot to completely protect me and I am isolated most of the time.

Let’s do this!!!!

4. That's why I voted early 👍

5. I did it by mail.

USPS worked just fine, ballot was delivered to me and back to board of election quickly and without any issues. Ballot is already accepted by board of elections which means I filled everything out correctly.

6. Also, spreading out the lines by voting early, helps defeat suppression tactics...

such as closing most polling places, or surprising you at the poll with an invented new ID requirement. You get a margin of time to address the problem.

7. I voted by mail

... and I don't plan on getting infected.

If it happens, it happens, but I'm doing everything I can to avoid it.
