5. I'm taking of the three days after.
The plan is to vote in the morning before work, go to work, come home and get rip-roaring hammered that night no matter who wins. The following three days will either be for more celebrating or for joining the angry mob, depending.

7. Driving a shuttle van for most of the morning.
Sponsored by the LWV, and no, we don't care about party affiliation, we're just providing a service for those who need a ride for whatever reason.

8. Election Day Should Be A National Holiday!!!
But still on a Tuesday so that folks will be less likely to try and make a three-day weekend out of it and end up NOT voting.

17. yup, same here
working 18 hour days from the 28th to the 2nd, and flying home on the 3rd. it'll either be the most raucous flight ever, or the saddest plane I've ever been on.

18. Election Day and the day after
Election Day to do pollwatching and canvassing to get out the vote, and the day after to recuperate from the party after we kick Repug ass.
