Well it's not like you don't get almost a month to early vote. But yes it's bullshit. Reminder people. They can't close if your in line! Don't leave the line.

There are many places where voting early isn't an option. If early voting was open for 3 weekends before election day nationwide it would be one thing. If I want to vote early for no-reason I would have to lie on a notarized form in Missouri. It's a joke of a system

a message from a Canadian who voted for Justin Trudeau:

vote for Hillary, she is a courageous woman who pushed for Universal Healthcare in 1993 (too bad Republicans and "moderate" Democrats rejected it).

Hillary cares about healthcare, childcare, families and equality. Yeah she me be a bit more hawkish than Obama but that's not a bad thing having a tough woman as Commander in Chief. She will keep alliances with allies strong.

Thank you. That's unfortunate that I misunderstood. But, Georgia almost definitely won't go to Clinton, right? :/

As to state and other races, my district is 80% Democrat here, so, in that case wouldn't the district dictate local abdstate races?

Regardless of how your local area votes, it's important to voice your opinion. Even if you are or lean Democratic, your local politicians may vary from the party platform. Democrats especially tend to offer more options on opinions.

If you are registered to vote, there is no reason not to vote. Heck, look into what your state laws are on early or absentee voting. It's often more convenient than going to the polls.

That's why I said it's bullshit.

I forgot to mention earlier that some asshat drove by my polling place this morning while we were lined up waiting for it to open and shouted,"VOTE TRUMP! VOTE TRUMP!"

I mean, it's Georgia, so I guess it is expected, but fucking hell man.

Prediction:

I was thinking Florida would go red, but I think the Hispanic turnout and GOTV will give it to her.

Edit: Damn images.

Stealing this. I would love for Ohio to go blue but thats just me being a fanboy. That looks like a more reasonable map.

And my part in this circus is now complete. Not that it really matters all that much in my case since NY is a safely blue state, but every vote against Trump helps.

You guys are way too predictable.

Guess what, nearly 50% of your country is voting for Trump. Don't act all shook when one of those people posts on GAF. The rest just doesn't say anything because being a Trump voter means your account is unlikely to last very long.

Accept that some people will vote Trump and move the fuck on.

So people who vote for hillary get applauded but if someone says he voted for trump you get reactions like this? This is democracy.

Man look

Acting like everything is equal is fine for making yourself feel better but for those who have been paying attention, it gets old.

I do agree that just ignoring them would be better though

I wish they could get special tags though, easier to not pay attention to.

I'll keep it in mind, thank you. Unfortunately I'm not registered so I won't be able to vote this year.
