My wife and I are doing voter redirecting at a former Early Voting center in Milwaukee. Then last-minute canvassing in the afternoon.
And you?

He normally has to go to office on Tuesdays and works from home rest of week, but will work from home this Tues.
We get in, vote, take him home then zip to work.
Got our sample ballot sorted and know who is who.

Regular Tuesday book club: Joan Chittister's The Time is Now.
Five Stations of the Election prayer vigil at my United Methodist Church, followed by a nationwide online prayer vigil.
Then a shift of social media monitoring for misinformation and disinformation.
I'm in too white a community that leans reddish purple to expect any problem at the polls locally. Wouldn't waste my time. And driving to another town in my county would be time consuming (as well as the gas involved), and I am unfamiliar with those sites. So I'll work online.

(2,762 posts)nonpartisan in-person poll watchers, but I'll be monitoring Twitter and searching for terms indicating voting issues and problems.
A team of lawyers will be standing by for the serious referrals, but a lot of our stuff is looking for those who may be waiting in very long lines, and telling them about polls nearby with shorter lines. Telling them they can call/text 866-OUR-VOTE for questions and problems to report. If they are told they aren't registered, encouraging them to stay and vote a provisional ballot. Seeing if there's any voter intimidation (referring that up the chain to the lawyers). That's most of what I encountered in 2020 anyway.

(25,592 posts)I've got a canopy and my friends are coming. I went blockwalking today and put signs up at the polls tonight. I just gotta have my "party at the polls".
Bought a styrofoam cooler. Gotta buy ice tomorrow morning.
