October 27 or 28 for me...depends on my early voting Election Judge schedule.

But I'll still be working on GOTV! I'm an unrepentant political junkie.

Unfortunately, almost all of my County races only have an R running, so leaving those blank. Will actually vote for one R since he is a moderate (in SC terms) and has an insane Tea Party lady running against him.

I am taking four women with me, the youngest of which is in her early forties, who have never voted before. We will go stand in line and vote, and then go have a celebratory lunch.

I won't be voting straight Dem ticket. The reason being for that is that in my precinct there are sometimes third party candidates running against a Republican and no Democratic candidate. In those instances, I vote for anything that is not a Republican. If there's a Dem candidate, I vote for the Dem.

Like you, I cannot WAIT until my vote is cast and I can sit back and relax a little.

social media, man a polling station for early or regular voting. I am sure your local party could use some help.

I'm going to be so happy to not have to look at that creepy ass Trump. But then roomer has it that he's actually in cahoots with Ailes to start up a new Alt-Right news channel that will make FOX blush.

but being a retired person.. getting that early vote out.. frees up the line on Nov 8th for working people who cannot get to the court house for early voting (its only during working hours) that and it feels great
