Will you vote early or on election day?
For everyone who lives in a state that has early voting - will you be voting early or on election day? And what made you decide to do that?

I will probably be voting early. My reasons are

1. It makes sure should anything happen on Nov 2nd that obstructs voting my vote will already be in.

2. I've been waiting 4 long years, and like a kid on christmas eve I can't bring my self to wait.

3. It will give me additional time on Nov 2nd to get party supplies ready and prepare for the long emotional night.

4. The obvious it will be less crowded reason.

I can't think of why I would wait until Nov 2nd except perhaps it would add to the excitement of the day.

2. On election day. Gives me pleasure to walk by the freeper volunteers
and walk over to the Kerry volunteers with my greetings of good luck and victory.

3. Early
I don't want to have to wait in line.

And I suspect that there will be lines because people are fed up and ready to vote * out.

4. 7:00 a.m. sharp!
I'll be waiting in a very long line (hopefully) as I excitedly cast my vote for the next president of the United States of America, John Kerry!

5. 9:00 a.m.
I'll vote at my usual time, 9:00 a.m. The vote-before-I-do-the-hour-commute-to-work crowd will have gone before me and I'll get some idea about turnout from the nice women at my polling station.

6. I'm voting early too. I hate long lines for anything.
If I didn't have the option, I'd wait, but if I don't have to, I'm opting out!

9. September 30th
I have to vote early, I will be working every minute of every free breath for Kerry through the month of October and to 7:00PM on November 2nd. And then I collapse in front of the television of our county Democratic headquarters and start drinking. Hopefully I will be running through the streets hooting and hollering naked by midnight rather than laying down on the railroad tracks.

13. In some states
The polls are open many many days before November 2nd. You just go and vote like you would November 2nd. (though there might some slight differences... like where you vote for example)

15. Election Day
I also love the ritual of it. Here in Alabama I expect it to be a big turnout.

The anticipation of it all is driving me buggy though!
