    If you vote at a school in the early morning - please don't park in the employee parking spots.

    I must remember to ride my bike to work next Tuesday.

    Wow - good point about parking, V!

    I also like to go to the physical place to vote. (A city hall for me - used to be a church til we moved across town.) I like experiencing it - and getting the "I voted" sticker!

    I've always voted in a school, and our public schools have always (at least in my life) been closed for election day. Until recently I didn't know that some school systems, maybe most of them, stay open on election day. That must make it difficult for the teachers and students, having to rearrange their schedule to stay away from the areas being used for polling. Normally we use either the gym or the cafeteria for voting, and one school I used to go to was used by two different districts for voting, so one district used the gym and the other used the cafeteria. I can't imagine trying to keep a school open with that kind of traffic coming into the school all day!

    My Pawpaw must have as well, they were on his jewelry chest and filing cabinets. I was so sad the first year I voted after he passed they didn't have them!

    This year they included an "I voted" sticker with my mail in ballot.

    That way you get pie Emil Villa's Hickory Pit will give you a slice of pie when you show up with an "I voted" sticker. I think they still do that.

    I love going to vote in person! I like talking to the folks who hand out the ballots, I like seeing my neighbors, I like everything about it. I've been voting in the same church social room for years now.

    Several few years ago for 3 years or so we lost our physical voting locale and had to vote absentee and I hated it. Then, inexplicably, we got to vote in person again, and I was so happy.
    Keep calm and carry on...

    The only reason I liked voting in person was to get the most excellent helmet decorations.
