I keep running every "James Comey" scenario to see how they'll steal it
I keep trying to keep a stiff upper lip and stay positive, but sleeplessness is having its way with me
Anybody else?

(13,904 posts)When I try to go to sleep my brain stays busy, making it impossible to relax.
I am cautiously optimistic about our chances, but PTSD moments of 2016 keep me on edge.

(23,652 posts)Now I'm out the door to get to my polling site to set up for 6 AM opening (I'm in New York)
I'll be poll-working today and probably won't get back home until near midnight.
SDo I'll be essentially incommunicado today.

(34,725 posts)Kinda wish I was working, but I do a bunch of party stuff, but today is a "wrap up" and I'm just poll greeting.
I have been keeping super busy.
I will be texting voters while I poll greet.

(10,337 posts)But I still think about 2016.
At this point (5:00 AM CST) I dont think that the Rethuglies can launch a convincing Benghazi! story to convince enough rubes that our candidates are working for the Dark Lords of the Sith.
I think weve got a fighting chance. Donald Johns act has grown stale and more people are looking at him with disgust.

After morning rush hour, I'll rock my chucks and a blazer and do my duty.

(40,848 posts)Im so glad I did mail-in voting this time. Im stressed out enough as it is without worrying about voting in person and long lines. Plus we have to take our dog to the vet today and she is horrible at the vet. I know it sounds stupid but I am very stressed out today. Gonna go swim at the community pool after breakfast, I think that will help.
Good luck everyone with your plans for today!

(7,964 posts)After waking up at 4:40 a.m. Didn't want to wake up that early but it allowed me to be there and first in line. People in line were nice. Thanks to all the election volunteers who are doing their part for democracy. Straight party voting so didn't take long.

(9,329 posts)I'm more concerned about the pervasive rot in this country (voters on the other team) as opposed to anything being stolen, though that's no doubt coming too.

(456 posts)I am not as confident as some here. I'm optimistic, but more nervous than any other election since Bush v Kerry.

And possibly a long next few days.

(5,961 posts)I am going to skip watching returns - largely because I think this is going to be akin to 2000 and, to a lesser extent, 2004 -- which is to say I don't think we will know who "won" for days and courts will likely be involved.
