I hope everybody’s voting experience is as simple and quick as mine was here in WI. In/out in less than 10 minutes. (Of course our senator running for reelection “joked” about distrusting the early voting process.)
Visit Vote.gov to begin the voter registration process. Select your state or territory. Depending on its rules, you can find instructions on how to register online, by mail, or in person. Once registered, voting by mailed ballot is often an option.

Voting places are not set up for people with vision problems or other handicaps. Even after numerous conversations with the election board, they still do not provide lights for voting booths or good magnifying glasses. Sometimes the buildings themselves are poorly lit.
Also, in our town, some polling places have told Democrat voters that the polling place they are in is only for Republicans and Democrats need to go somewhere else to vote. Some Democrats are registering as Independents because of this which skews many programs and functions.
I vote in a largely white area in Florida. In no election over the last 16 years has the line to vote on election day been over a minute long. Yet we read about five and six hour lines in mostly black areas. Why?
even then the race ain’t over. with repugs running election boards etc they’re just going to ignore the result and declare their guy the winner and destroy any evidence to the contrary
I decided to opt in for mail-in voting for all elections, so I am automatically sent a ballot. Super easy. I drop my completed ballot at the local library drop box a few blocks from my home.
If the GOP is credited with a win by a small margin, I bet we’ll see the usual suspects around here saying gee, I guess the Dems lie when they say they’re the majority. And it will never occur to the dems that they’ve been robbed.
“Voting absentee” is an archaic term. Voting my mail is simpler and easy on everyone, though it may delay the final vote tallies by a few days. More, if postmonster DeJoy has his way.
It’s the GQP’s motus operandi that all elections are for suckers and elections don’t count, they want to take power without the will of the people. They don’t want elections they want VIOLENCE

Yes, a better way: vote absentee. That way you never miss an election.Be sure to vote. You never know whose opposite vote you will cancel.

Mandatory, mail-in, real choice voting (like, ‘none of the above’ as an option, or essay questions).

He forgot a step for those who live in red states – if you vote for a Democrat, have your vote discarded by the state legislature.
