I will be early voting in October. Early voting starts here on the 15th.
Remember to vote early. In the event something comes up on election day you won't have to worry. I missed the 2000 general election because I got stuck in the office till 10 pm. Never again (not that it would have mattered for Gore - I'm in Illinois).
I want to be part of the landslide.

(2,522 posts)you would be voting against Romney.
I think Illinois is still safe but Indications are they are going to steal Wisconsin.

(28,151 posts)And our county Dems will have poll watchers at every site. We are often able to recruit some of lawyers who are members to keep an eye on things during election day.
I hope lots of county parties do this. I will be helping with giving folks rides to polls and whatever else is needed. Besides, you don't get the little "I Voted" sticker when you vote absentee.
Of course I realize it is the best option for many and for that reason I am grateful we have absentee voting.

(10,188 posts)I'll be on the other side of the country visiting my mom on election day, and my ballot will be in the mail before I leave - since the mail-in ballots are sent out a month ahead, I'll have plenty of time to fill it in, send it, and check to see that it's been received before I leave.

(27,617 posts)them in. If you vote early & turn it in, they cross you off their list and focus on the other voters they need to turn out. One reason to vote early is so you don't keep getting phone calls & mailings, along with letting the campaign focus their limited resources on people who may need more encouragement.
Just an FYI

(62,492 posts)and cast our ballot early, usually around my birthday.
The auditor is a republican and i always like to make a show of voting.
Usually we are so busy calling etc on election day that we might not vote.
iamthebandfanman
(8,127 posts)and ignorance of conservatives has erased any disagreements ive had with president obama..
something i expected to happen, but thought would take longer to occur
their tactics and double speak are terribly annoying and frustrating.
i just hope the rest of democrats feel the same way. we cant afford low turnouts.
theyll definitely steal it again.

(541 posts)Or maybe October. I live in FL and they cut early voting here. Just hope the vote here doesn't get stolen. Oh by the way, you need a Gov. ID to vote here. I was planning to use my Drivers License, up for renewal in Sept. I just happen to be a registered Dem. and just got a letter outlining all the paperwork I will need to bring to renew my license. It includes an acceptable copy of my birth certificate, my social security card, and proof of my address. Although, I think there is a way to renew online and avoid all that.

(7,358 posts)Thanks for the reminder about early voting. I live in the lovely Red State of Georgia. Although my vote will be canceled out by the Republican majority, in terms of the electoral system, I still vote. Sitting out doesn't solve anything. But I would love to see the the electoral system changed, allowing my vote to count. It won't.

Then I read the remainder of your OP, but you still deserve this for getting everyone all riled up:
for leading us to believe that you defected.
But a big for getting out there and voting for President Obama.
