Early Voting

[Tom Slick]

Curious if any of you folks are going to vote early, or already have? I have traditionally always voted on election day in person, but with all of the noise this year I decided to vote today. Early voting here in Idaho is Oct 15 - Nov 1. I was amazed at the crowd at my local polling place this afternoon. I asked the gal working there and she said that this was actually mellow compared to other times. She said they are averaging 1,000 voters per day at that particular polling place. Early voting here has a few polling locations per country, so naturally crowds are spread out on election day, but it was wild to see so many people at the polls already. What are you seeing where you vote?

I voted the day after I received my ballot.

Mailed it in, and got confirmation it was received and counted the next day.

Vote early, vote often!

Same here. I just had to sign in again to receive the update

 

[BoatCop]

Filled them out last week and hand carried to the County Recorder's Office. Don't trust the Post Office. The USPS Union threw their support 100% behind the democrats and endorsed Ds in every race across the country.

Here's what I recommend to everyone:

Early Voting and/or Mail Voting starts tomorrow (10/09/2024) in many states. If you are an early voter or mail voter, MAKE SURE that you vote or return your ballot only at an authorized location, preferably at your County's main Election Office. This is the ONLY way you can be sure your ballot is received and counted. DO NOT use drop boxes or any "service" that claims they will deliver your ballot for you.

Please do not go and vote by yourself. Find out if any of your friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. need a ride to the polls or need a ride to turn in their ballot. (Only the voter or a family member/care-giver can legally return an early/mail ballot in most states) DO NOT TRUST THE POST OFFICE OR DROP BOXES!

Voted on Friday. The first time not actually going to the local polling place, instead dropping ballot into a box in front ofCity Hall. I keep hearing the talking heads say that it will help Trump if the vote goes his way early, and makes it harder to cheat.

 

[HTTP404]

I'm dropping ours off at the local Republican Party office. I'm harvesting 3 ballots.

 

[Kachina26]

No mail in ballots here in Texas except under certain conditions. So we chose to vote early on Tuesday. It took about an hour, probably would have been quicker had I not gone to the county seat to do it. But we were in the area for a Dr. appointment so it worked out.

 

[mobldj]

we voted early today in moval in person

 

[Crazyhippy]

Voted yesterday morning. Quick and painless, less than 10 minutes total, and they asked for my ID.

CHOO CHOO

 

[TimeBandit]

Dropped mine in the box at the library last week, got an email and a text from Ventura county that they had it a few days later.

For many years, I voted in-person on election day. This year I am voting early but still in-person. Early voting here (So Cal) begins this Saturday the 26th. I'll have my ID, but they never ask.

 

[FROGMAN524]

We’ve got our early ballots and will drop off at polling place on 11/5

 

[BabyRay]

Everyone gets a mail-in ballot here. In my county, there is only one polling location, and it’s only open on the final voting day. i won’t take a chance on the line there, so I’ll be mailing my ballot. Anybody have a red marker I can borrow?

 

[81Sprint]

Voted in person Sunday morning, no line took 5 minutes.

Already voted by mail here in Florida. Used the USPS too.

But let’s be real……… Here in Florida, our vote for President does not count. The Presidential election is only for the 6 swing states. Only those states will decide who becomes President. You can thank the electoral process for this.

I believe we should do away with the electoral college. The person with the most votes wins. Doesn't that sound fair?

I wonder if there’d even be a viable second party if the electoral vote was eliminated. It seems to me the democrats would have a lock on every presidential election, particularly considering all of the illegal immigrants they’ve been letting in.

Even the democrats among us should fear one-party rule.

I don’t know where in my post you came up with that I was in favor of a one-party rule? Thank you for spinning my post to your narrative…….

TX here and I voted yesterday. I like to vote on voting day though. Just something pushed me to get this handled now.

Early voted on Tuesday.

He's saying that the majority of the country's population live in just a few cities. Those cities can dictate who becomes president and it eliminates the importance of the around 47 states vote. The electoral college is the method that prevents the major cities from being able to select everything the "fly-over" states do. Florida's votes would be wiped out due to LA, NY, and Chicago being sooo incredibly one sided.

My intent was just to state my concern about tossing out the electoral college. It had nothing to do with you, aside from continuing a discussion that you started.

Only really matters in 3 states given the other 3 have very few electoral votes. 3 states now elect the president. And less than 10% of the country picks the party's candidates.

No reason to even fill out the top of the ticket for the vast majority of Americans. The vote in those states is meaningless.

At the end of the day, no matter who wins we all have to figure out how to go succeed and compete. Achieving that is probably worth more effort than who to vote for.

 

[havasu5150]

The wife and I voted early yesterday in LHC. filled out our ballots at home and went to the library to turn them in. There were at least 30 people there voting early and another dozen turning in their ballots like us.

Probably 30 states would instantly leave the union. You would have Isreal/Palestine on a grand scale. Gaza strip goes from DC to Boston, West Bank is west coast, and Hezbollah controls Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis. The rest of the ground remains free. Those cities in the free states would suddenly realize they don't make food and water.

 

[C-Ya]

It really surprises me that voters are OK with only a few states picking the Presidency. They even argue that it’s fair.

All I know is that my vote for the president does not matter, and I am not ok with that.

How someone can argue against 1 person…. 1 vote, is a mystery to me.

 

[outboardrick]

Yep, already voted in person, at our local Library.

 

[thetub]

some here think its a mere vote for presidency and life goes on and it doesnt matter we learn to make money either way, but in my little pea brain alot more is at stake and its been far more clear and evident now...

i might be a whackadoodle but its a vote for the direction as a nation to bow down to the WHO, UN, and all three letter agencies who are trying to control where fed printed money (tax dollars) are being laundered and siphoned off to... and a group of global elitists who are trying to tell us and are kids and grandkids how to live...

in my pea brain thoughts there is no 2 party system anymore they are both compromised... this has been shown so clearly how they want to eliminate any opposition who threatens them by means of financial bankruptcy through litigation, imprisonment , assassination, cheating , msm smear campaigns, fake narratives and so on...

Just look at the Don and RFK Jr. they are clear examples. Gotta ask yourself WHY they are so desperate and why (they ???) are doing this ? and who is pulling the strings ???

its far beyond our borders...

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Took my neighbors with me yesterday to vote. Everyone has to show valid ID, as it should be.
Several Camden county Missouri positions are unopposed & only have 1 republican on the ballot.

Well, some of us believe there’s a better chance of swinging those states in our preferred direction than there is of swinging the entire U.S. populace. I know it’s a funky system, but it gives us hope.

Heck, I live in Washington, where one county controls the elections, so my vote has rarely mattered on regional or statewide issues, let alone national. I even pay a huge transit tax for a boondoggle of a light rail system that won’t reach my area in my lifetime, because King County (Seattle) wanted it and greatly outnumbered us heathens to the south. Maybe the electoral college is our revenge.

 

[Baja 252]

We voted by absentee ballot in MO last week because we will be out of town on election day.
Some states have no ID required to vote, in MO we had to have our signatures on the return envelope notarized to make our votes valid.

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

The last two times I voted, I received a letter well after the election stating my vote was not counted because my signature didn't match. Here in San Diego I can vote in person early on October 26th. I may try this route and keep an eye on my ballot through the process.

Elections are rigged now!

What would happen if California passed a law that illegal aliens could vote for President?

Think back to the "hanging Chad" election (I cant remember which year that was). Back then Florida was a MASSIVE battleground state. Not anymore. Battleground states, the states that you have a problem with deciding the election, change relatively frequently. Its not the same exact ones every election. Thats what makes it fair. If it wasnt that, the wind would ONLY ever blow in the direction of the big 3 Dem cities. Remember..... checks and balances.

I wouldn't mind seeing more states dividing up their electoral votes like Kansas and Maine do. Could go a long way to eliminating the constant and guaranteed 54 Dem votes each election for the left. Make counties and regions more well heard.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

It may not be a law per se but its certainly the current practice already. Wink, wink.

People are not supposed to pick the President. States are. States get more or less of a vote based on population. But every state gets a little extra just for existing.

To not do this in 1789 would have meant NYC and Philadelphia selected everything. No one but NY and Penna. Would have signed the constitution.

To not do this today would mean NYC, LA and Chicago select everything. The rest of the country becomes irrelevant.

Even more important is that senators are supposed to be selected by the states. The 17th was a disaster for the states. The people are supposed to select the house. The entire purpose of the constitution is to create a tension where nothing can be done unless there is a strong agreement between the states and the people. Controversial daily subjects are supposed to be accomplished by the states.

Your vote for President matters exactly as much as your state decides it matters. If you do not like that, you get to fight to change the laws and constitution of your state, or move.

You know what is really silly? California has between 4 and 7 ( I believe more than 7) extra votes for President because illegal immigrants are counted in the census, and therefore for apportionment of the house, which gives California extra votes. So if you are voting in California, 1 person, 1.1 votes. In Alabama, 1 person, 0.9 votes...

 

[Keymyster]

The wife and I went and voted early.

 

[Her454]

Voted today here in Florida! There was already a line at 7am but it went fast and nice!

 

[Activated]

Mailed ours in and they have already been counted.

My wife and I used to vote…probably 70-30 for Republicans. Since Covid, the 2020 election, BLM and all the other shit that has happened over the past 4 or 5 years…it is straight party line. We will never vote for a Democrat again.

 

[Wmc]

Early voted Tuesday. Walked it in

 

[USMC2010]

I voted by mail for 12 years in AZ...until the 2020 fraud. I will never do that again. Since being in TX I have grown to like same day voting but this year I voted on day 1 of early voting.

Electoral colleges should apply to the states. That would end all the fuckery.

No. Because CA NY TX and FL would decide. All the less populous states wouldn’t have a say

 

[Sportin' Wood]

Voted early, walked in into the post office Friday. Post Office told me that they are treating these ballots like gold. Hope that does not mean they are stealing it. LOL

 

[tostark]

Let me edit that to be clear. About 9 million more registered dem’s in country then Republicans. And usually in the most populous states. That is why Dems are the ones always wanting electoral college gone. They would always win. The founding fathers were smart on this one

What’s best place in havasu to go drop off our ballots ,Thanks
