The "I voted and how smoothly it went" Thread.

I voted and it took perhaps 10 minutes in my western NY county. Easy as pie.

Optionally, I voted Democrat on the national level but went with Rep on most state offices as we have our own cancer, Cuomo, to resist.
 
I’m in line now. Twenty five minutes so far. Very quiet; my precinct is traditionally ~75% Republican so neither party bothered with a presence this year, not even signs at the seventy five foot limit.

In previous elections, the longest wait was about ten minutes with just strolling right in being the most common experience.

My location gives everyone a mail-in ballot request. I filled out the request for a mail-in ballot, received my mail-in ballot, filled it out, put it in the drive-up dropbox at the election office, 3 days later my signature and address were verified to match the signature and address when I registered to vote, and an online government website lists my ballot as being accepted. It should be counted today.

Dropped off my ballot last week, but drove by my polling location this morning. No line, there were a few pro-Trump and pro-Biden supporters each standing a reasonable distance from the entrance with their respective signage.

Wish it was this easy and thorough for everyone!! Or I hope it is anyway 🙂
 
I early voted last Thursday. 3 of us went and we were in and out in 10 minutes. Only one person was in line ahead of us when we walked in. Rural county next to big KC metro counties. Straight Dem.

Apparently my ballot status is still just "Received" I checked the situation, and Apparently MD actually has the earliest counting schedule--officially started on Oct 1st for all the expected mail-in ballots.

I dropped mine off about two weeks ago, it has been in "Received" status since about 3 days after I dropped it off. ...This is frustrating, because I would like to know if it was rejected for some nefarious bullshit reason with enough time to vote. I know my state doesn't matter as much (though we do have some local and state scum republicans that need to be voted against), but I want my vote against Il Douche, Donito Mussolini, to count.
 
Ridiculous hearing all the rural voters talking about 5-10 minute waits while people in cities get screwed with long waits meant to depress our turnout. There were solid 2 hour lines every day of the first week of early voting at my closest polling spot for instance.
 
Wife went earlier today. 15 minutes on line.
Machines not plugged in and lack of markers.
Also...Trump idiots with Maga hats.
 
Just got back. No line - took about 10 mins total. My wife went earlier around 6:40 AM and had an hour+ long line.
 
Voted last week at a drop off mail in a drop from the car ballot box at city hall. Nobody around. Sorry I did because I wanted to change my vote from Joe Biden to Hunter Biden. I heard some really nasty shit about him that made me feel he is way way way better than Trump.
 
Dropped my mail in ballot off at the county offices a week ago. There was a line of 2 cars in front of me, which took about 30 seconds. I love voting in Oregon. Although it does have its issues. My wife's signature always gets rejected because she can't remember what her official signature looks like, so she has to go in most years to verify her ballot.
 
Got it mailed to us and dropped mine off at work last week (I work at the main County building). Checked and it's been received and counted. Dropped off my step-son's and my wife's this morning here at work (yes they authorized and signed letting me submit for them!).
 
I dropped my ballot off at a drop box on October 16th. It was received around October 23rd and just yesterday the status changed to accepted which means it was counted. So was my wife's.

So +2 for Biden.
 
Received my ballot a couple weeks ago, along with the voter pamphlet, dropped it off at a nearby official collection box, and it was marked as "accepted" (the final step) on 10/26.

It took a total of one hour and forty minutes to vote. When I left, the line was just as long as when I got there. No electioneering at all. Part of the slowness was that there were only six voting booths and the room was too small to allow folks to fill out their ballots any place other than the booths. We used to have the booths in a school cafeteria where voters who didn't mind losing a bit of privacy could sit at the tables to complete their ballots, speeding up the process.

The other thing is that Arizona has judicial retentions on the ballot where basically every judge in the district is validated or rejected by the voters. Judges are appointed so this serves as a check on appointees. The problem is that there is a lot of judges so it takes time to complete the ballot. I consider it a duty to go through and affirm all the judges (unless they really do suck) so that cranks don't end up throwing them all out based on the low number of voters who bother to complete this section of the ballot.

Check out my post for my timeline of received/accepted status.
 
I voted, but I have no idea what address I registered when I first registered. And I don't know what name I used back then 20 years ago. I hope my vote gets counted though. 😳
 
I voted ~2 weeks ago on first day of early voting. No line (as usual). Only thing that took me some time was that I had requested a mail-in-ballot and had to fill out a piece of paper to essentially "void" my mail-in-ballot (even though I hadn't filled/sent it) and then voted at the machine. Easy peasy.

Voted mostly Democrat except certain localities and state positions. We don't need Democrats fucking up the entire reason why they keep flocking to our state.
 
I voted in Bucks County, PA. Went smooth, about an hour wait. Long enough to make small chat with the man behind me that informed me that Dems are evil and if they win, we won’t have anymore oil for our cars 🙄. At least I know I cancelled out his vote.
