When do you plan on voting? (And I'll smack the person who says "Tuesday.") Before work? Right after work? Take off from work? Evening? Or have you already voted absentee?

Me, I'm working through lunch and going right to the polls to beat the 5pm rush.

Tue--

Uh, erm...

Yeah.

I'll be voting some time after I get up. Beyond that, who knows?

Tuesday.

........well, it's /true/ ;)

I have an absentee ballot (that I have yet to fill out *cough* am doing research and stuff today, and will fill it out tonight), and I'm going to send it in with my dad when he votes, probably just about as soon as the polls open.

*whap!*

I'm going early. Voter turnout is supposed to be long, and our neighbor hood sent fliers to expcet 2 hour lines in our district!!! Since my roomie and fam are in the same voter station, we're having donuts and coffee.

That said, it's supposed to monsoon here tomorrow, so turn-out might not be as bad as 2 hour lines. I'm not *quite* selfish enough this year to be pleased by thinking the rain might keep people home. I still hope this election is close as can be, regardless of who wins - if only that I want the next administration to remember very well that they only have the support of about half of us.

Probably before work. But I have two distinct advantages in that regard: (1) I'm a morning person, and (2) my polling place is my apartment office. Let's hear it for living in Retiree Central! *g*

My poll is the elementary school half a block away across the street. There usually isn't a line as long as I show up right at 4pm, but this time... well, I'll bring a book.

Thing is, polls open right around the time I'm eating breakfast. I'd rather be off work and have time to kill than be thinking "I have to make this time up, I have to make this time up..."

Makes sense. Mine opens at 6 a.m., and I don't leave until almost 8. Meanwhile, I'm in tech week, and while at this point I'm not scheduled to be needed at rehearsal tomorrow, I'll bet you money I'll wind up taking home something to work on tonight.

Home is out of the way between here & theatre, so I'll probably have no real choice but to do it in the morning.

Voting early. Hoping there are lines.

Morning. Since I don't have to be in until 9:30, if I get up a half an hour earlier, I should be fine.

Morning. My polling place is in the clubhouse of my townhouse development and it opens when I'm halfway through walking the dog. I'm debating whether to try going in with the dog if there's no line (and if it has stopped raining).

I'm fortunate to vote in a small district, where there have never been lines before. But not taking any chances -- will go mid-morning, after the commuters have hit but before the lunch break.

And everyone remember to bring a photo i.d., and a recent utility/credit card bill in your name!

If I go to work tomorrow (still not sure I want to be in Manhattan, In Case Anything Happens), I'll go in the morning, as our polling place is on the way to my bus stop.

If I don't go to work tomorrow, I'm going sometime after the morning rush.

We did early voting last week. The Sunday paper said that 400,000 people have voted early in the Houston area (unheard-of!), and another 800,000 are anticipated to vote tomorrow. Which kind of makes me twitch; Houston is the 4th-largest city in America, and even once you've subtracted all the kids too young to vote, the non-citizen residents, and the people permanently debarred by felony conviction, that still seems incredibly low.

My friend lolleeroberts said she'd seen a poll somewhere in which 52% of the people responding expected to encounter voting shenanigans and 58% expected that this election would also be decided in the courts. Discouraging -- as she said, those are the sort of numbers one expects to see in a little banana republic! Oh, and also someone stole every Kerry sign out of her neighborhood the other night. Freedom of speech in America? Only if you toe the neo-con line...

One good thing about the helljob--the City agency is CLOSED on Election Day so we can go vote. (They charge us consultants leave time, but hey.)

But I have someone coming to look at furniture at 8:30 AM, so I think I'll mosey on down to the polls right after they open at 6:00 AM to check the lines. My polling place is at the elementary school a few blocks away, so if the lines are too long, I'll come back, wait for the furniture dealer, and then go stand in line after that's done. Fortunately, caffeine is readily available right by the school....

Probably right after work.... I really did want to say Tuesday, but I don't need the smack!

[bizarra.livejournal.com]

I'm going in the morning before work, so probably around 7ish. I have school tomorrow night so that's the only time of the day I'll even have time to vote.

I have a 7:30 dental appointment and instead of driving all the way through Madison to get to work (west side dentist but far east side work place), I'm going to come back to my village and vote before going back to work. The drive time will be about the same, strangely enough, and I think if I get back here at 8:30, I won't have that long of a wait. One advantage of living in a small town. If the line is really long, I'll just continue on into work and vote after work.

Voted absentee
