Who hasn't voted yet?

[IrishEyes]

I see a lot of people posting that they have voted. I was wondering if anyone besides me has not voted. Are you waiting to vote in person on Election Day? Are you waiting for your ballot? Do you live in a state like New York where you can't vote yet?

Personally, I'm working as a poll worker so I will vote there on Election Day. My polling place is not usually very crowded. I have never needed to stand in line for longer than a few minutes.

According to the latest figures, 34,033,663 people have already voted. That is 4 million more people than when I checked yesterday. That is 24.5% of the total votes cast in 2016.

1. I haven't voted yet but planning on early voting this weekend

[mindfulNJ]

2. Me.

I live in CT...we don't have early voting. I live in a very small town...it's never taken us more than 10 minutes to vote so we'll get up early and vote in person.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. My e-mail friend in CT voted by mail already.

She can't track the ballot, though, which surprised me for a more progressive state like CT.

[mindfulNJ]

33. I didn't know

that you couldn't track ballots here. Definitely reinforces my decision to vote in person.

[Ms. Toad]

46. You can track your ballot.

On this page you will be able to see if your absentee ballot was received by your town clerk. If it does not say that your absentee ballot was received on this page, then your absentee ballot has not yet been received and you should contact your town clerk.

[Blue_true]

54. It is foolish to vote by mail this late. People that haven't voted are wise to

vote in person.

[Ms. Toad]

55. Within the state they should be fine.

The postcard writing operation I am part of tested mail delivery. I'm to mail the postcards on 10/26 - which, according to the testing they did after the mail started to slow down, is still early enough to reach its destination several states away.

But that wasn't the issue I was addressing - I was addressing whether residents of CT can track theri ballot. They can (despite assertions to the contrary)

[Ms. Toad]

45. Yes she can.

https://portaldir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx

On this page you will be able to see if your absentee ballot was received by your town clerk. If it does not say that your absentee ballot was received on this page, then your absentee ballot has not yet been received and you should contact your town clerk.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

50. Thanks.

I'll let her know.

[Midnightwalk]

3. We're voting election day

It’s just up the road and never have waited more than a couple of minutes. Just two more weeks.

[mucifer]

16. Best wishes. My worry is you can get sick on election day then you can't vote But,

I know not everyone has the same options or circumstances.

[xmas74]

4. I haven't

But now I'm awaiting my covid test results.

[IrishEyes]

34. Sending good vibes for your test.

I took the covid test last month. I had to wait two days for the results but it was a relief to get an email telling me it was negative.

[xmas74]

47. I take it every month at work but this was not planned.

I was exposed to multiple sources over the weekend.

[woodsprite]

5. Me in DE. I haven't received my ballot yet

According to ivote.de.gov, it's been 15 days since it was mailed to me. Right now, I'm thinking I will end up being the only one in our household who will have to actually go to the polls.

[Baclava]

19. That doesn't sound right, do you have a way to track it?

Mine was sent out by county office, you can track your ballot the whole way from their site

Ordered, sent, received, counted

Mine arrived 2 days after being sent out, I just mailed it off today

[woodsprite]

41. It says it was sent to me, so it's stuck between that "sent" and "received" status. nt

[LizBeth]

6. I got mine Saturday. Sitting on table, will probably fill out today and drive to drop box.

[soothsayer]

7. Me in virginny

[Laelth]

11. Blue Virginia. That makes me happy.

Thank you.

-Laelth

[soothsayer]

13. Gotta love it... but not take it for granted!

Gotta gotv

[Laelth]

18. I DO take it for granted.

That’s what is so nice about it. VA is now a thoroughly and reliably blue state. I expect that you will do your part to keep it that way.



-Laelth

[soothsayer]

23. Indeed

[patricia92243]

8. Florida was allowed to vote the 19. But our county is not until

the 22. Will vote then.

[Laelth]

9. Give me 8 hrs., and it will be done.

Daughter and I have been avoiding the long lines during the first few days of early voting, but we are determined to vote today.



-Laelth

[BraKez2]

12. Planning to vote this week

My wife and I are planning on voting early tomorrow or Thursday (we are in Virginia).

[subterranean]

14. I'm still waiting for my ballot.

We vote exclusively by mail here in WA. My ballot was mailed out on October 14, and was supposed to arrive yesterday, but it didn't. I am getting a little concerned. If it doesn't arrive today, I am going to have to go pick up a replacement ballot in-person. (I could have the replacement ballot mailed to me, but I don't want to wait another week or longer wondering if it will get here.)

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Voting on election day

[PRETZEL]

17. We just got our ballots yesterday

Montgomery Co. PA. There's a drop box a couple of blocks away so we're planning to drop them off tomorrow.

[Polybius]

20. Me, because I don't like early voting

Nothing against those who do, but it's not for me. Been voting in-person since I was a teen.

[mvd]

21. I have my ballot done but dropping it off tomorrow

Need a ride as have no car anymore.

[marlakay]

22. We just filled out our ballots this morning

I am in a mail in state, Oregon. Going to drop off at drop box later today.

[BComplex]

24. I voted in person this morning.

It felt really good! Democrats all the way down the ballot!

[DLCWIdem]

25. Me. Early voting starts today in WI. Plan to vote after 2 if i can

[Wayoff]

26. Will be voting on Saturday....

I cannot wait!

Along with my vote for Joe & Kamala, I will also be voting for Sharice Davids & Dr. Barbara Bollier!

[IrishEyes]

65. Excellent choices.

[bedazzled]

27. Kind of wish i hadn't

Had requested absentee ballot in Florida
When dump saud it was fine to vote absentee here, i realized that they might have a fix in somehow.

The florida voting website says the absentee votes will not be counted until AFTER the polls close. That kind of scares me.

I know i could have brought the ballot to the voting site but any level of complexity that might get me disqualified concerned me.

[LisaL]

28. Not true for Florida.

They start processing ballots before the election. They can't release the results before the election is over.

[bedazzled]

31. Ooh good to hear

That is good to hear. The website says it won't show as counted and I was concerned.

[mentalsolstice]

53. We turned in our ballots last week in the dropbox in So. Walton county

You should be able to go to your county election site and check the status of your ballot. I checked ours this morning and it shows that our ballots have been counted. Now we’re in a hurry up and wait mode until Nov. 3 to see if FL pulls Biden/Harris over the line.

[Blue_true]

57. My Florida ballot was counted on October 4. I am like your, wait and see how Florida goes, but

I am doing my part with more than my vote.

[Blue_true]

56. Florida counts votes as received. The result is not reported until Election Day.

It is a Class 1 felony to tamper with election results in this state (Florida) - that applies to everyone, including DeSantis and Trump.

[Wednesdays]

29. I'm voting on Election Day

I voted early in 2016, and the wait time in line was three hours here in Oklahoma. I've never had to wait longer than ten minutes when voting at my precinct on Election Day.

[Niagara]

30. I haven't voted yet.

I still haven't received my absentee ballot yet, but that's alright, I'd rather vote in person.


I will be heading to the alternative polling location on the first day of early voting in New York. My normal polling place isn't very crowded nor have I ever had to stand in long lines to vote. I've been anxious to vote since January 20, 2017.

[IrishEyes]

49. I've been anxious to vote since the day after Election Day 2016.

I hope to have a much better Election Day this year.

[Upthevibe]

32. IrishEyes...I haven't voted yet...

I'm in California. Our early voting starts on 10/30 so I'll be voting on the first day. I've gone over all the propositions and the various local and state elections so I'm ready to go....

[WyattKansas]

35. I dropped my ballot in the ballot box yesterday at the County Courthouse and confirmed online...

That it was accepted.

I voted all Democratic, wrote in 'Democratic Socialist' where a Republican ran unopposed regardless of how local the race was, and researched all Judges and marked 'No' to all that were Republican or appointed by Republican Governors.*

* I will NEVER EVER vote for anyone a part of the Republican/Fascist Party of traitors and destroyers of what FDR did for this country the last Century to make it so damn GREAT.

[a kennedy]

36. Nov 3rd voter here......along with my husband will be attending our

small city voting site around 10:30am.

[Blue_true]

59. Some of my family wait until Election Day.

That drives me nuts. I am paranoid like a fool about voting. I prefer to vote as early as possible in case something goes wrong later.

[Wounded Bear]

37. Rec'd my ballot today (WA)...

might take a day or so because of state/local initiatives and such, but will be done this week.

[tavernier]

38. I have several options that I'm considering...

My ballot is filled out ready to go. My grandson votes for the first time Saturday and it would be fun to vote with him. I like the traditional voting day and my place is never very busy and I know all the workers personally and socially. What to do, what to do...

[IrishEyes]

42. Going with your grandson sounds fun.

That sounds like a nice memory for him to have. It is nice to have options.

[tavernier]

48. Regardless of the choice, I will go with him

Because a date at the DQ for Blizzards after has already been decided on.

[sinkingfeeling]

39. Me.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. Working on getting my absentee ballot envelope open

High humidity caused the thing to glue itself shut. Slowly steaming it open so it remains pristine.

[budkin]

43. Me, voting tomorrow

My wife has been sick and I'm going with her.

[Ms. Toad]

44. I'll be voting before Saturday - probably on Thursday.

I'm working in voter protection, so I have to vote ahead of time since the chance I'll be assigned to my precinct is slim to none.

[Danmel]

51. Early voting begins in NY on the 24th

I'll be there!

[jcgoldie]

52. I'm voting on election day

State holiday in Illinois for the 1st time. Although I will probably need the 4th off more...

[IrishEyes]

60. I hope that we are all celebrating on the 4th.

[csziggy]

58. I went to vote today but the line was longer than I have ever seen

I plan to go back earlier in the day tomorrow with my husband. Waiting in line is boring enough, doing it by myself is worse. If the two places we normally do early voting are both slammed with big numbers of people, we might just take a drive across the county to the most rural voting location. Usually the voting totals at that location are a few hundred when the other locations are thousands.

[dustyscamp]

61. I still need to look over the Judges, Assembly and other positions here in NV

I plan to vote soon

[mnmoderatedem]

62. I'm taking the day off and voting in person, and monitoring the situation all day

Nov 3 also happens to be my birthday. I'm sure everyone here shares my obvious birthday wish.

[Dorian Gray]

63. I'm waiting for NY State

early voting to start. We only have a week of early voting in here. Starts this saturday, and my plan is to go sunday.

[Raine]

64. I haven't

I don't like to vote early because sometimes I change my mind on propositions as I get more info. I vote Absentee a couple days before election day. I either mail it or drop it off at the polls.

[electric_blue68]

66. Got my ballot (NYS)...

Have to fill it out.

Just down loaded drop off sites.
Probably go to Board of Elections drop off. 👍

I really would love to vote on Election Day as I always have esp for such an extrodinarily defining vote - but one less potential exposure to cv19 is more important.
