Being a debate forum, I was wondering how many of us have put their money where their mouth is, so to speak. So as of noon on October 28th where do you fall on casting a ballot. Please refrain from endorsing who you vote for.

My state has two choices: Mail-in, or in-person on Election Tuesday.

I suppose mail-in is a form of early voting.

But I like to go in person, usually with as many family members as our schedules can muster. I used to be involved in street-level politics when I was in the city, and love the excitement of being around a polling-place on election day, but I no longer attend the campaign parties after.

My city and county, which has quite a few problems with graft, corruption, and financial and other mismanagement - happens to run a shockingly efficient voting operation. I can't say I've ever been in line longer than 5-10 minutes.
 
In 2004, I voted on the actual election day and my polling place was packed. Took an hour to vote. Since then I've taken advantage that my state has early voting and always do that and in person. This year was the longest I've had in a awhile with 25 min, but I think that is more because I went right when the polling place opened. Normally only takes 5 min at the most.
 
I've already voted and my ballot is in the mail.

My hometown run by Republicans, had that too, now that I am near Newark. I wonder how different it will be... :confused:

But at least I can walk to the voting booth.

I will be unfortunately going to have to vote for a write-in candidate on November 8.
 
Already voted in person. No sense in waiting until Election Day when the lines will probably be longer.
 
Going to vote on election day.
 
I voted early just this past week. My state has early in-person voting.

I am waiting until election day to vote. I will leave the presidential race unchecked,maybe even write in a bull**** name(my state doesn't allow write ins) just to make sure anyone going over the ballots can't check it for me. I will vote in the other races and ballot issues going on.
 
Voted early last Wednesday after work. Thirty minutes in line plus five minutes to vote. They were checking photo IDs. This time they had three volunteers. One checked your ID and gave your name to the second person. They looked up your sticker, handed it to the third person who stuck it in the registrar for you to sign.

They only had eight machines plus paper ballots. I used the machine.
 
I'm probably going today. I know how important is it to vote against Clinton, but I just can't being myself to consent to Trump making a joke of the GOP. I guess that leaves Gary Johnson, and GOP for the rest of the ballot.
