Current Events > How's voting been, Americans? Did you have a peaceful normal time doing it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I keep seeing all these voter intimidation videos pop up but I guess that's just how media works these days.

Anyone here get harrassed, witness something ridiculous?

I did mail in voting in september and took it directly to my local voting office for the county I live in. Can't trust the mail right now because my mail is delayed for 2 or 3 days already thanks to Trump and his goons

---

I'll let you know in a bit, polls open in an hour on the east
---

I voted by mail.

---

I dropped off da ballot at da ballot box so no intimidation for me
---

Im voting in person in a half hour. Guess Ill find out.

---

How does it feel for the Americans in states where the EC has 3ish total votes? Where your vote literally means nothing.

---

I voted by mail weeks ago and didn't have a problem with the USPS. Of course the mail box I used was right next to the post office. I got an email saying my vote was accepted. It was a smooth process, and I don't think I'll ever vote in person again if I can help it.

It means nothing in non-battleground states

I dropped mine off at the ballot box last week. There was some weirdo in a car right by the box, clearly watching me, but I did the extremely awkward thing and just looked back until they left.

---

All good, almost to the front of the line. No intimidation. Pretty quiet crowd.
---

As someone who lives in suburban Massachusetts, it was as simple as driving to my local town hall on a weekend and dropping off the ballot that was mailed to me in the clearly marked and provided ballot drop box.

There was once an election that was decided by one electoral vote. You have a greater chance of arguing that voting in a predominantly red or blue state means nothing but even then it still relies on other people voting.

I voted by mail a few weeks ago no problem. My parents, who didn't think to request absentee ballots, were put off by long lines on multiple occasions before finally voting in person.
---

I like to snipe elections like ebay bids. I wait for the end of the day and throw my vote where itll cause a flip

---

Dropped my ballot off at the town drop box two weeks ago.

Dropped off the ballot couple weeks ago at the polling location. No issues, and I've got confirmation it's already been counted.

Did my part to flip Florida, but Florida being Florida, it'll let me down.

I live in a Trump town so they naturally assumed me as a white person I was voting for Trump even though I wasn't. Therefore I didn't get intimidated.

I feel awful for people who don't have this luxury.

this is why voter turnout is usually low. if you're in a hugely republican state and want to vote democrat, there's no point since it'll never turn blue when 99% of the vote is red. shitty democracy in action and a reason to get rid of the electoral college

---

Nah, fuck it, another round of abstaining.
---

people should just wear maga hats to polling places they wont be bothered at all

Dropped mine off in a ballot drop box. I'm in a fairly safe blue state, but the drop box was kinda off the beaten path and it took weeks to show accepted so I did get a little nervous

---

No threats. There was a scarecrow outside though so I dont think any crows voted.

---

Voted in person at 6am. Only like 3 people ahead of me and I was back home within 5 minutes of arriving.
---

In PA. Voted at like 2:30pm. No issues, was in and out in like 5min.

---

Voted at like 9 am. It was easy in and out in 5 minutes but there are places around me where the system malfunctioned and people been waiting multiple hours lol

---

i voted like six times and only had to get in a fight twice so it's been pretty chill overall

I never sent my mail-in ballot. So I dropped it in the dropbox at the Supervisor of Elections office. They had it next to the parking lot lane, and dropped it without getting out of the car.

It's better than mail, because it will not get lost, and better than voting in person because there was no long wait, no contact with people, not getting out of the car.

I voted on Friday. Waited in line for an hour. I saw 3 people without masks. When I see someone not wearing a mask, I assume they are a Trumpeter.

---

Took 5 minutes. Was greeted in and out. Ezpz

---

Voted earlier today around 12:00 PM in bumfuck nowhere NH. Was quick and easy as hell. No line at all.

Where are you guys finding videos of voter intimidation?

Everyone I know voted early. I literally don't know anyone who waited until today.
