Sent in my absentee ballot last week. Voted a straight Democratic ticket.
I’m an election inspector and will vote during a lull sometime on November 8 and won’t be able to post that day.
As we say in NY, “Line A, all the way”.
(Line A goes to the party holding the governor’s office.)
Huh. Didn’t think to weigh it. I just went by what it told me. I thought it might be wrong, but I decided that it was better safe than sorry.
I voted this morning.
A neighboring county has been on the news twice in the last two weeks for having hour long lines waiting to vote, but I didn’t have to wait at all. Maybe it was because I was so early in the day. It was slow but steady. They appear to be prepared for business, though. There were about a dozen unoccupied positions for poll workers, and something like 50 or 60 voting booths.
Voted. Wasn’t planning to, but while out warming up for a run I noticed a polling station as I was about to hit first gear. It was a good delaying tactic.
I’d planned to be part of the collective wave of Trump-repudiation (Trumpudiation? …nah) on voting day, but instead I’ll be part of the setting-the-narrative wave of early voting. It’s all good.
ETA: Up yours, McCrory.
Voted this past Monday. Annoyed that republicans are running unopposed for the two State legislature slots. Annoyed enough that I emailed the Democratic Party HQ about it. “D’s always get beat there…”(paraphrasing). My part of town is a lot of retirees in the older homes, and rich folk in the newer ones. Quite a few blue collar families moving in as the retirees die off though. The Dems will never win if they don’t at least try.
We have a volunteer legislature which means a pretty serious commitment to serve. Essentially you need to be retired, have a trust fund, or a breadwinner to support you. The legislative sessions are a few weeks a year, plus committee meetings all year long.
Still, I wish the Rs would at least have to campaign, and with The Donald at the top of the ticket, this year was a rare (albeit still slim) chance.
The state (NM) is, fortunately, pretty hard to gerrymander at least. So they can do only very limited harm at the national level.

I filled out my ballot yesterday, and dropped it off at the Post Office this morning. Would have done sooner, but I’ve been sick.
early voting opened in Maryland today.
Clinton
Hoyer
Van Hollen
Voted today for Hillary, for all the good it does in Tennessee. But at least it’s one more for the popular vote.
WA-4 checking in. Hillary (D) - Inslee (D) - Newhouse (only Republicans on ticket) - Yea on $13.50 minimum wage and paid sick leave, Yea on Carbon Tax,
Voted yesterday in a swing state: NC. Clinton, Cooper, Ross.
Voted today in Florida. Straight D ticket: I left the one race that was R vs Independent blank. I voted against all amendments and local initiatives except I voted for Medical MJ and for 2 years residency to run for local city council. Some of them were tax increases, some of them were tax decreases for special interests: no to both. And no to changing eligibility for elected office in a way that is not clear to me on the ballot. (I hope Amendment 1 was clear enough to people that they understood it enough to vote “no” on it since it is a giveaway to the power companies. There might be good reason to change the way net metering is calculated, for instance if the maintenance of the system per user costs far more than the monthly minimum service fee, but a constitutional amendment is not the place to do it.)
I voted last weekend. Touchscreen. It must’ve been running iOS 10 because when I tapped it with two fingers it blew me a kiss.
Voted today for Clinton/Kaine. Anyone who opposed a republican got my vote. No referendums were on the ballot.
C’mon, Texas! I want to have my state go for my preferred presidential candidate once, at least.
Voted at 1 PM this (Sat) afternoon, Montgomery County, Texas. On the ballot are Pres/VP from the 4 major(ish) parties, one US Rep (Kevin Brady ®, running unopposed), and a bunch of state and county-level functionaries. My favorite oddball office name is “Railroad Commissioner”, especially since that department actually looks after the oil and gas industry. Voted straight-ticket Dem, thus leaving a number of slots blank since many of them were R’s running unopposed. Did make some specific choices for local administrative spots.
Here they use tablet-type machines with a rotary dial for selection and “enter” for confirmation. I believe this is the type a few people were reported as having trouble with earlier in the week. I could see a possibly significant chance for operator error, as the user interface is not really like any other devices most people would have in daily use. At any point before hitting a red “cast ballot” button, however, you can review and change your selections, so as long as you are at least mildly aware of your surroundings, you’re good.
There were about 50 people in line but the line moved quickly and I was in and out in about 20 min. There were no identifiable poll-watchers that I could see. The old retired ladies who seem to make up most of the polling staff were very friendly and helpful, both then and the other five times I voted today.
OK, I’m joking about that last part.
I voted in NC only took 5 minutes. But other people have waited an hour to vote early . I got lucky I guess.
I early voted in Texas on the first day. It took an hour. We are seeing a very good early voting turn-out here.
My three millennials voted, too. (They also voted in the primary.)
I had a two hour wait on the day they expanded the number of early voting sites. Wake County.
you must have picked a different site than me , I am in Wake too. I voted in Cary. And this was on Sat. too .
