The signs say early voting, but the website it was absentee site? Either way, I will vote another day.

Why would anyone want to go on the first day when there are at least another ten to twelve days to vote? That's like going to a new restaurant in town the first night that it just opened up and expecting to walk right on in.

Imagine if the Marines who took Iwo Jima had your perseverance and dedication to America.

I have never seen a line longer than 25 or so, in my life.

Every polling station that I know in Alabama can handle 50 voters at a time. Votes are self scanned and the long wait is due to proof of ID. That is in a small town.

I did "absentee", but I walked it into the elections office and handed it to the clerk. No lines.

Athens-Clarke County had 4 machines in at least one location as of earlier this week. They were complaining because a neighboring (red) county with about half the population had 16 in theirs.

5th day of early in person voting in Georgia.

I live in a heavily Red district and in 2016 on a Friday it took 5 minutes to vote.

Today the line is 90 minutes long and growing according to the website.

I know it will be longer tomorrow so the wife and I are biting the bullet and going this afternoon.

I vote at a location that scans between 1200-1800 on election day and they use one machine.

Rs have learned the importance of voting early due to the left's shenanigans on Election Day. This year, I expect BLM to be out in full force, causing problems.

I've been told this is systemic racism in action. You must be black.

I was literally in and out in less than 5 minutes.
(Harris County, Houston)

Even busted a dirty prog and the election official got the election judge on it b/c he was using his phone next to me at the booth while they specifically said phones off.
