Norht Carolina. So you guys voting early and often, or waiting? Or not at all?

Filling out my form this weekend, then I'll have my wife drop ours off at the court house.

Do those get counted? ;)

The people in line were quite cheerful even though it was awfully cold. Some reporters were interviewing people and snapping photos.

:thumbsup: I already mailed mine in.


...Though they're just calling them mail-in ballots in CO, since "absentee" sort of implies the requirement of absence, which confuses people.

Yeah, I was able to vote early...last week? Either way, the line was 2 hours. Not worth it to me. I'm fairly sure Obama is going to win anyway.

I mailed my absentee ballot a few days ago, I don't know why everybody doesn't vote absentee

That reminds me - I really need to remember my camera this year. My polling booth is literally held together with bailing twine. (Unless they updated it, which I hope they didn't.) Never a line for me. If every single resident of my town showed up simultaneously to vote, I might have about a 10 minute wait.

absentee here too, less than 150 people registered in my district, so there was no polling place established.
