45. Don't give them a chance

There is no excuse for not voting early. If you wait till the last minute you are helping the orange turd and his goons. Vote by mail but don't use the US Postal service. Find legitimate ballot boxes and deposit your ballot there. If you go to a polling station to vote in person in certain red areas you are very likely to be harassed and prevented from voting by right wing goons.
