Check in, all you early and absentee voters.

I cast my ballot yesterday after roughly an hour's wait at the polls. Others who are casting early votes or mailing in a ballot, please report back here.

[RebelOne]

14. I received my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday.

All I need to do now is drop it into the mail. I saw on TV all the lines at the polling places. As I have a back problem and cannot stand for long, I quickly sent in my application for an absentee ballot.

[Tikki]

[CBHagman]

[okwmember]

16. Voted yesterday in Tampa.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. I voted Friday. Waited in line for an hour.

[LisaL]

18. Voted early. There was no line. Better than regular voting in terms of wait time.

I remember there being some lines (short) during regular voting. But no lines for early voting.
In and out in five minutes.
I am in TX.

[lobointexas]

19. Just voted with my wife & stepson, his first election !

Here in Texas, three votes for President Obama and Democrats down ballot. I voted green or libertarian for races without a Democratic candidate. I left unopposed repukes blank. No lines at all, only took a few minutes.

[LisaL]

20. You have to be pretty self-motivated in TX to vote.

I haven't seen any GOTV efforts.
Presumably because democratic party gives up on TX from the start.

[lobointexas]

26. True, Texas Democrats need a better ground game,

and help from the National Party. I read that Texas has one of the lowest voter turnouts in the nation, something like 54%. I would bet a majority of those that don't vote could be convinced to vote for Democrats.

BTW, we did receive a call on the 22nd from the Democrats of Comal County telling us that early voting started, what precinct we were in and to please vote.

[LisaL]

30. Considering I haven't seen any evidence of ground game existing in TX, maybe

they should start with having some before making it better.

Seriously, though, it appears to me democrats here give up before they even start.
Surely we can improve it at least a bit.

[tabbycat31]

21. voted absentee (by mail) last month

My vote probably won't count much on federal races, but I did my civic duty

[Baitball Blogger]

22. Just checked the website.

They have all three absentees generated from members of my household. Alas, Florida lost a Dem vote when my son moved to another state.

[Fla Dem]

23. Voted yesterday, Florida's 1st day of early voting. Biggest crowd I've ever seen for any election.

I went about 4:00 because earlier in the day the line was out the town hall and into the parking lot, and they had a snake line inside. The poll volunteer inside said he had been doing this for 12 years and this was the biggest crowds ever. All of the voting booths were filled and you had to wait until one opened up. I would normally be thrilled to see so many people voting, but I live in a very red and non-diverse district; mostly older white folks. So I hope the repugs aren't coming out in big numbers too. By the way, I'm an older white folk and my vote went for Obama.

[CBHagman]

45. Thanks for the on-the-ground report.

For some reason this thread has drawn multiple responses from Texans and Floridians. Obviously our DUers are motivated!

[Egalitarian Thug]

24. The Thugs voted here in Nevada last week. n/t

[1-Old-Man]

25. WV's 1st District, yesterday.

[0rganism]

40. we're all absentee voters in OR!

just another reason this state rocks.

[hogwyld]

50. Oregon voting is awesome!

My wife, kids, and I voted last week! Of course the boys insisted we vote for Obama, so we obliged. You know we have to teach them early on. I wish every state made voting this easy. No voter suppression, intimidation, or touch screen manipulation.

[Honeycombe8]

48. I voted last thursday.

At our polling place in Appleton, WI. You know, the Appleton Rmoney kept mentioning in the debates, but my husband and I can't remember him ever being here.

No wait at our polling place, and VERY busy even last week. A friend of mine working there said they were getting 500+ a day since Oct. 22. Registration was right there as well.

[LancetChick]

49. My Absentee Ballot Was Recorded 10/16/2012

... in California, which is heavily blue, so it doesn't matter much in our electoral college system, but still... I voted. And, according to the official website, my ballot was received and its status is good. I don't care what ails ya, voting is better than chicken soup.

Oh, and I voted for Barack Obama. And AGAINST Prop 32, which would allow corporations to fund political campaigns, but effectively prohibit unions from doing so. The lies in the political ads I see on TV is mind-boggling.

[AsahinaKimi]

51. CHECKING IN... voted!

Check!

[ananda]

52. I voted Monday here in Austin, TX!

I showed them my voter card so I don't know if they were asking for photo ID
like some reprehensible Reeps in Williamson County and other parts of Texas were!

Remember, our new photo ID law was ruled against by the higher court and Abbott
will take it to what is supposed to be a majority friendly SCOTUS (yuk).

[OriginalGeek]

53. My wife and I went ysterday

45 minutes in and out.

[Spider Jerusalem]

54. Sent in my absentee ballot a week and a half ago

voting in Georgia (my last US residence, I live in the UK). Voted for Obama; not that it'll matter THAT much in Georgia but it's one more for the popular vote total, at least.

[mstinamotorcity2]

55. Husband and I cast our

ballots on tuesday after the foriegn policy debate for our President ,Barack Obama.
