Happy Election Day everyone!  I m nervous as hell.  Regardless of the outcome I hope and pray there is nothing but peaceful protests.  

Unfortunately I have no hope that protests will be peaceful. Manhattan looks like a ghost town. Businesses are boarded up. Scary stuff. 

THANKS OBAMA!!!!

What is with this idea of the long lines. 

Why aren't you scaling up the polling places to meet the population of that area?

Skimping out on having sound tax levels again in the name of "the government aint' takin' any of my money"?. Or republicans run places that refuses to scale up to have long lines?

You don't scale up voting places.  Can't be done.  You are assigned a location based on where you live.  It's part of your registration.  If you just added new places, people would not know where to go. It would have to be done a year in advance.

Scaling up the capacity of the voting place. Not adding more places.

Here (Le Sweden) you are also assigned a location based on where you live (but you are A-okey to go to to any voting place you like, other than on the actual election day where you have to go to the assigned one - and people here know where to go and don't get lost...) but still we don't have 24h lines people must stand in listening to the whole run the jewels discography while waiting.

And seems these long crazy lines are a thing every election. And not some crazy occurrence this time.

Positive thoughts from me in Canada to you Americans.  Stay safe out there... and hopefully vote out the most corrupt and vile leader you've ever had.

I think most places have added more booths, at least around here.  The waits are usually longer first thing in the morning and at the end of the day.  So it's probably a little early to make a judgment on that issue.  With 100 million votes cast already, I don't think the lines overall will be terrible.  I'm sure there will be some outlier areas you see on teh news, but that will be teh exception, not the norm.  That's my guess.  I think overall vote count will be 160 million or so.  60 million voting on electino day isn't terrible.

No posters (Bernie)?  Fine, I'll get the hoodie (Warren)?  Those are out too?  No, I don't want any lame-ass wrist bands (Trump).  Just give me the so-so t-shirt (Biden). It's not what I really wanted, but it'll do.

I went and it wasn't bad. The early voting lines were 5-10 times longer. I was in and out today in 20-25 minutes. People were standing in the rain on Friday for early voting for 3-4 hours. Lol. 

I think a big part of it has to do with the competency of the local government and elections officials to set things up properly.

Quite frankly, I don't think waiting in a line for an hour or 2 or 3 to exercise your right to vote is a big deal. Not sure why so many make it so. People wait 3 hours to go on Rock 'n Roller Coaster at Disney World.

I also thought - but, but, but COVID. Why is anyone voting in person?  Weren't we told that would be the death of all of us? When did that change?

I do love people blaming a party over another for local election officials.  That's like blaming the failures of the post office on Trump when we all know the post office has been failing for years. I bet before this year many of you wondered why we even have a post office. I mean - does anyone actually get any meaningful mail these days?    All I've been doing the last week is throwing out election shit. We could save the planet if we didn't have a means by which to waste the paper.   I find this place so amusing.
