Please take a few minutes tomorrow to drive by your polling place, just to see how things look. If you can do it sometime in the middle of the day, that would be best.
Then report back here with anything unusual you notice. Let us know where your polling place is, even if just the state. Watch for thing like:
Trumpers hanging around, especially if they are armed.
Law Enforcement presence.
Are there long lines to vote?
If you can do that, it will help us all get a picture of how things are going where you are. In fact, why not take a picture with your phone if you see anything unusual. Share that with us, if you are able to do so.

(146,284 posts)Not all polling places, though, are within walking distance. They should be, but they aren't necessarily.
On the other hand, Trump is counting on Republicans to vote on Election Day, so those caravans will actually be working to keep Republican voters from the polling places, it seems to me.

(42,296 posts)We've got poll observers who will be outside polling precincts all day too.
A boiler room of lawyers from here and around the country are on hand to deal with any issues.
I saw a list of phone #s for each state's Democratic voter protection teams. Anyone who drives or walks by and sees something out of line should call that # or the Supervisor of Elections office.
In Florida, it's (833) VOTE-FLA or (833) 868-3352.

(25,839 posts)place in your county. No need to figure out exactly which precinct polling place you need to find. I've lived in states where that was a challenge. A couple of weeks ago I voted at the nearby (about two miles away) library. In the past I've voted at the county fairgrounds and at a nearby school. Plus, this is NM, so there probably won't be anything hinky happening here.

(7,411 posts)The chatter was that the line was almost twice as long at 7:00am.
I've never seen a line in 10 years of voting there.
Nothing more unusual than that.
