We have vote by mail only. All signed, sealed and delivered. Glad to be done. I'll also be glad when politics fades from our morning breakfast group.

First day of in-person early voting started here on Oct 18th and we were there that day to vote. Of course AFTER I vote I start getting tons of junk in the mail. UGH! I already voted don't send me the junk now, esp if you couldn't be bothered to send it before early voting started. I'm tired of the ads as well. The worst part is I'm in NC so we aren't getting hit that hard with ads like people in Ohio are. Most of my family is in Ohio and they are much more sick and tired of it. My mom told me she had one entire set of ads that were nothing but political ads.

Living in Utah, my vote means pretty much nothing for all but the most local issues, and it's dubious even then. If I lived in Ohio, I'd probably have to leave the country for a month.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I grew up in Ohio and this year is worse (from what I've heard) than any previous year for all the ads. I'm not convinced my vote means much either, and I live in a supposed swing state. I'm just not convinced NC is yet a swing state. I do believe it's headed that way, but I don't believe it's actually there yet.

One huge advantage of living in Belize! We voted absentee online (emailed in the scanned ballots), and the only ads we see are the few on the networks stations our satellite TV beams in. The stations are all in Mass. or NY, both uncontested states for the Presidency, so very few ads. No robocalls and no mail either.

I voted early too, although living in the same state as Malkin, it almost seems futile. But I became a citizen a few years ago in part to be able to vote, so I'm going to exercise that right!
