Voted. In at 10:10 out 10:17. Gotta love it.

Yeah, I'm the same.  I don't think i've ever been in an actual line at my polling place

In and out of Greenbelt in 15 minutes mid-morning. Brain-wormed yahoo illegally shouting "Trump" a few times, something I had never seen before in over 40 years of voting. He got to the ballot scanning machine and found out he didn't make his marks correctly. Dumbfuck.

Me either. But I also have never went first thing in the morning nor after 5pm.

I've waited in DC a couple of times, maybe 45 minutes. Enough that I've wondered if it was worth it given how little there is to actually vote for that is live.

Working the polls in Arlington
1/3 of precient voted early
Another 1/3 voted before noon

No lines, but lots of spoiled ballots due to the ranked choice voting
Also a longer ballot then normal
So longer turn for some

A poll worker was explaining ranked choice to everyone.

I really can’t make a prediction based on facts.

Three weeks ago I would have said Trump wins but then came many unforced errors like talking about turning the troops on opponents, MSG, and ramped up crazee. He had been running a tight professional campaign but it kind of fell apart before the finish line.

I waited about 45 minutes to vote for Kerry and then Obama….that first Obama win was fire. The Kerry loss was tough to swallow….late afternoon we had heard he had won based on exit polls..went by DNC headquarters on Capitol Hill and it was a celebratory environment..then went to Hilton on 16th for the party and everyone was celebrating…it was already like 11 and tv had cnn and all the focus was on Ohio and I will never forget the prince of darkness shaking his head,smiling and saying “…it’s coming back to Bush.” I knew it was over but people were not paying attention and continuing to celebrate. Coming on the heels of the stolen election of 2000…brutal.

There has to be a better way to have elections

Now this is something I can get behind... In Detroit they lined up 300 DJs to show up and spin at polling places

I just got home from voting.

I voted for my great-granddaughter’s rights.

I voted for her right to free speech.

I voted for her right to practice her religion.

I voted for her right to peacefully assemble and protest a tyrannical government, regardless of her political leanings.

I voted for her right to bodily autonomy without interference from experimental drug companies mandated by her government.

I voted for her to exist as a woman, in women’s sports, to have a women’s bathroom, and have a women’s only dorm room.

I voted for her right to bear arms.

I voted for her right to a secure border and safe streets.

I voted for her innocence.

I voted to protect her from gender confusion and chemical castration as a minor.

I voted for Trump.

[hutch]

Don’t depress us!!

[kosmo vinyl]

What’s missing from that rant is

I voted so that the stock market crashes  disseminating my 401k, which force me to work longer and thus spending less time with my granddaughter

Cannot speak for anyone else and who am I to tell anyone else how to live but I’m seeing Anora at 6:15 and Conclave at 8:50. Should end around 11 with only two minutes between. I’m putting my phone in Driving focus so it sends an auto reply message to anyone who texts me telling them what I’m doing and I’ll get with them tomorrow.

I would suggest people do their own version of this. Protect your mental health. You can doomscroll tomorrow. The world will not end regardless of who wins.

Everyone take care of yourself tonite and in the days to come, OK?
