I'm going to vote today. Drove by yesterday and the lines were down the block, turnout looks very high so far for a midterm. I have no idea who that favors.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Despite the fact that almost all voters have made up their minds, still a tight race. The final move is to arm twist all of your party to actually show up.

Early voting in my county begins tomorrow. I may trot out there.

I may start wearing a MAGA hat, too. I'm tired of keeping my Trump support close to the vest in meat space.

Just voted. Lines weren't too bad, took about 30 minutes all told. Everybody there was older than me, lots of Zimmer frames. One guy was trying to register and got really pissed off when they told him he couldn't vote in this election. Sorry Charlie, it's been all over the TV, internet, radio, and even billboards - last day to register was October 9th. There were voter registration tables set up all over town. Sorry you're too fucking stupid to understand that, but it isn't "voter suppression", you fucking wanker. Oh, and for the other one I saw turned away - bring your fucking photo ID, because SURPRISE you need one to vote in Florida. That was also all over the TV, internet, and radio. Plus you fucking DROVE there, I saw you getting into your car when you left.

Universal suffrage is a really stupid idea.

Well, if I was not from a privileged background, and hence a real estate owner, I could not vote in a censitary system. so I still support equal vote, though I wish there was an acceptable way to suppress the idiot vote...

Anyone without an ID can submit a provisional ballot, too.

Or, just fucking drive home, get relevant ID and come back. This is early voting. He still has several more early voting days, and even, gasp, election day to vote.
