    Same here.

    I'm considering voting early, but even that just feels wrong to me.

    In Alabama, there is no early voting, except for people who request an absentee ballot. Other than that, the only voting is right on Election Day. We go to the little church just down the street, and it is usually not a very long line. It probably is more crowded when people who have to work get there at noon or after work, but we went in the morning before, and it was mostly just seniors voting at that time.
    Alabama is a red state, so I do not expect any problem with us being able to vote.

    The more possibilities there are for human error decreases the possibilities for perfection.
    To me, there are too many moving parts in the voting system as it is and adding one more simply increases the odds that something could go wrong ergo......

    If I have to walk or limp to the voting booth, I’ll be there.

    Not in person this time. We already filled out our ballots and drove them over to the elections office and dropped them off there .. no middleman.

    By the USPS, because neither Rain, Hail, Sleet, Snow, or Violent Protesting can prevent our vote from being counted!

    According to Nancy Pelosi, they need 25 billion beans in order to do the job. So, since that piece of pork isn’t going to fly, there might be a few snags in that rain, hail, sleet stuff.

    And like most fed regulations, it's ridiculous. That simply increases voting time and WAITING time.

    I "early voted" this morning. I got in line at 6:30-ish and was number 53. I had a mail in ballot but i had them nullify it so I could vote in the booth. Civic duty done!
