I would walk through a shooting range to vote against Trump in person. I want a decisive Biden victory that can be called on election night. Delays are just going to fuel Trump's desire for chaos. I don't understand anyone voting by mail on principle when they can effectively show up on election day and vote at the polls.

I live in NJ in a hard left district and lefty town so I’m not sure my participation in on Election Day really matters, but my polling place is a short walk away from my house and I’ve been the only person there the few times I’ve voted there since I moved here.

I’m wondering if they’re going to cut back on polling places though due to COVID (doesn’t it make more sense to add polling places so fewer people congregate?). Does anyone know when they’d have to announce that by?

This describes my situation almost exactly.

At this moment I feel like the chances of the election being called on election night are slim and none.

counts the same.

i like it because it is easy and i won't have to wait in line during a pandemic. gives me all day to go work at polls too and help locally.

I unearthed my voter registration for a mail in ballot yesterday, from a pile of mail that had been accumulating. I'll mail that in today. I'll probably vote and drop that off when the time comes too.

I just updated my registration yesterday since I am moving soon. I plan on mailing in my ballot once it arrives.

Only way they can call a state like PA on election night would be if, lets say 20 million vote in person that day...if it's a big Biden lead as an example, and they know there could only be at the most 5 million votes left to be counted by mail-in since the voting eligibility numbers are limited to a certain point, then they may call it...

But if it's the other way, and they only count lets say 9 million votes that day and know up to 8 more million could be out there via mail, it ain't getting called...

I already have off that day and made the decision to vote in person...my precinct is quiet around lunch hour as the lines form before and after work so I expect no issues..I'm usually in and out in ten minutes

Voting early in person. I plan to be the first in line at my location on October 15th.

Vote early vote often.

Yeah. Ds in PA are already far outpacing mail ballot requests. if pre canvassing does not get change (the ability for counties to count mail ins before election day), we will have to wait.

there is a republican bill in the state senate that will move pre canvassing up 3 days (which is barely helpful), but the rest of the shit in it is bad (shockingly).

maybe jerseyhoya will register and vote this time around, and then we will be having a party.

Why don't you think he votes? Weird comment.

I believe jh has posted that he did not vote in 2016

i recall him saying he has skipped several elections bc he lives in DC and it does not matter.

Only around 12 million live in PA... LIBERAL HOAX?

yep, mail in/drop off. the kid just turned 18. voter reg wasn't an issue, but in order to get a mail-in ballot we need to go get him a non-driver ID from penndot. So much for voter fraud!

he doesnt have a license? you driving him around in the firetruck all day?

Not sure if he'll ever have a license

And yes. Well, when I have the duty officer's car, he gets shuttled in that.

Indeed

I have since registered and voted in 2018 primary/general. Did not vote in the primary in 2020 because Trump was the only candidate on the ballot. I'll vote in November, probably writing in Romney. I think DC has switched entirely to vote by mail, so don't have to go anywhere or do anything.

Ah, I misremembered.

Out of curiosity: would your game plan be the same if you lived in a swing state?

I am guessing he would probably do the same. JH strikes me as a dyed-in-the-wool Republican "never-Demmer." If these past four years have not shifted him towards the middle or left, I doubt anything ever will.

already requested my mail in ballot. will mail back or drop off...not sure what philly has planned yet.

awesome. been trying to get some pals to update registration/get a plan that need a bit more motivation. had one update his this week to his current address and he is making sure his wife does the same.

need to get my brother and his fiance to do the same.

We all need to do this. Not CB's family, but our own.

Unless they are like my SIL, who loves Trump more than her family.

btw, if somerset county is any indication, we are in for a fight. Trump signs everywhere and I have yet to see a single Biden sign.
