I vote by mail because it's 2022

I vote in person because it's 2022 ... in Texas.

I don’t work where I live, so I voted through the mail this year. In the past I’d never wait longer than 15 minutes, and I loved the people watching.

Early voting is easy enough for me I’d probably do it even if mail in was an option.

I think this will be my go-to in the post-COVID era. Used mail-in ballots during Covid but I have to burn a stamp and fill out a form to request a mail-in ballot.

I usually early vote or mail-in but this year I've voted on election day.  Still super easy with short lines.  JOCO seems to provide enough polling places that wait times remain short.

I wish Wacky safe pegging tonight!

I love going early at the arts and heritage place, super convenient.

FWIW being gone this time i can't give a good report/feel on what the turnout looks like. I had a sneaky feeling in August that the no vote was going to do alright given how I went in the afternoon on a Friday and it took me 20+ minutes to vote and I was definitely outnumbered 3-1 girl to guy.

If that same energy is there than at least in KS I expect Laura Kelly and Sharice to keep their jobs, and in general 538 backs that.

Nationally, I don't expect that, but we'll see. Still think pubs get majority, but a fairly slim one in the house, and 50-50 senate

I have a knack for knowing who's voting for who, when in line. The Mrs. and I made a game of it yesterday.

I tried to request a mail-in ballot in Texas and got absolutely rejected by the elections commissioner. You have to be able to prove that you're like serving in a foreign war or some other nonsense. But I agree that early voting is super easy. I enjoy yucking it up with the old lady volunteers.

Does anyone ITT ever have to wait in line to vote? Even when voting in person on election day, I've never waited more than like 3 minutes to get my ballot. The last few years, I've voted by may or done early in person voting.

Only when I lived in urban Kansas City. I think it took me at least an hour in 2008. Not surprising that Joco or rural Kansas doesn't have lines.

This election I voted in Brooklyn on Sunday. I probably waited about 3 minutes

Is this new congress finally going to abolish DST?

No no no no, they need to make it permanent and abolish standard time.

I lived in three different cities in '08 Boston, '04 and '12 Wichita, and '20 Des Moines and had to wait in lines each time. No other election did I have a line.

If that MAGA with the hammer had told police that he was planning on demanding that Nancy tell him why they didn't pass that permanent DST bill, I'd be on his side.

I’m in line right now!

Much longer line than two years ago. This is my first time voting in the midterms. I don’t know if that explains the line or not. Like, if they have fewer polling places for midterms or something, because the place I voted two years ago isn’t an option this go round.

Second that for 2008. Only time I lived in KCMO, and I waited about 2+ hours to vote and went at about 7am

No lines where I've voted the last two times, but I've recently moved.  I hope it's not bad at the new place

Election Betting Odds does not agree with 538 on KS governor. It will be interesting to see which is correct.
