Did you give up? Don't. Go on Tuesday and vote. There will be many more polling places and plenty of time to cast your vote.
Go early. Best time is between 10 AM and 4 PM. Early mornings and afternoon rush hours are the busiest.
Don't let the Republicans stop you from voting by closing down early voting locations. Go to your local Election Day polling place and make your voice heard!

And a rush when local shifts let out.

(9,313 posts)Contact media to investigate what the problem/lame excuses. Ask them to get election officials to describe what needs to happen to fix.
And if this is a repeat of lines in previous elections, contact state legislators and ask why they failed to fix -- or even try to fix.
LINES are tantamount to a POLL TAX.
Object in any way you are able.
For every dozen waiting in a long line, 1, or 2, or more, say "screw it" and leave.

(13,133 posts)Mostly when i go to vote early on election day there are more polling people there than there are voters. Of course passing by one of the early voting places there looks to be hundreds of people. I know some people cannot get free on election day and for them early voting is only just. I just like to go on the day of the election myself, it just seems normal
