Good on you.
I find your choice simplistic, overly optimistc and wrong - but of course that does not make me right.
Just of a different opinion.
It's good to exercise choice.
I choose not to participate.

One thing I think needs to change nationally, no matter how one votes, or how early, I think they should count them as soon as they come in, and not wait. I don't mean make the findings public, just count them. That way the only thing left would be to count election day votes. Every state is different, and some states wait until after election day polls close to count anything.

My oldest voted yesterday for the first time in her life. Her husband also voted for the first time.
I wonder if all the BS is pushing others to get out and vote.

I mailed in my absentee ballot about a week ago.

I voted. While people complained about not wanting to come in because they had to wear masks while in line, in our little county everything was 6 feet apart, sanitized between users, and masks enforced. Took about 30 min.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I submitted my ballot this morning. First chance I got to with work and everything (and the drop box not being open except during work hours).

I voted yesterday and he voted today. No lines at all here in Tinytown.
I would have been Democrat all the way. Until a week or so ago I intended to be. But then a scandal broke about the Democratic Senatorial candidate. I waged war with myself but could not in good conscience vote for him. Nor would I have ever DREAMED of voting for his Republican opposition. So I went Libertarian. I guess I just threw away that vote. But maybe not, since both the dem and repub are reviled at this point. Who knows, maybe the Libertarian will win by virtue of people not wanting to vote for either Thom Tillis or Cal Cunningham.
Either way, I donned my mask to say "Down with Donny."
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

I still haven't voted. This week, hopefully. I don't want to stand in line on election day.
