In-person voting for this year’s midterm elections began Friday, ushering in the final six weeks for Americans to decide which party they trust to lead Congress through a cost-of-living crisis, a prolonged war in Iran and other pressing issues.

    You can early vote at a polling place: https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state

    Or you can use mail in voting: https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form

    I highly recommend to avoid election day voting in person.

      Yeah if anyone needs a convincing reason to urge friends to vote early, consider that for any close race, the highest probability of shenanigans is expected on Election Day itself.

      And from all the speculation we’ve heard so far, shenanigans could be anything from merely annoying and time-consuming obstructionist BS all the way up to ICE voter intimidation, bomb threats, and confrontations between ICE and local pd/security/officials, etc.

      The most important reason, however, is that early votes are recorded and reported early; i.e., less likely to be ignored, stolen, destroyed, or otherwise fucked with.
