Vote early in the morning Nov 2
You don't want to be shut out if you get to the polls too late in the day.

Some polls allow anyone in line when the polls close to vote, but why take the chance that some rightwing election judge shuts the doors?

1. If you should be challenged.
It is the law in PA that anyone in line at the time the polls close MUST be allowed to vote. I learned this at the class I attended for poll workers (class given by Chester County Voter Services, which pays the poll workers).

This doesn't mean that you can get on line after the polls close, and expect to vote, but if you are there by closing time, they must let you vote.

Still a good idea to vote early though, just to avoid the chaos.

2. the way it's suppozed to be
A poll worker is supposed to go to the end of the line at exactly 8 o'clock and stand there as the official termination point.

But voting as early as possible is a good idea. Who knows how messy it might get later!

3. The election law is if you are in line at poll closing you can vote.
I just came back from the election day training at mercer co. dem hq.Thats what they were really clear on.
But voting early is a good thing .That way you can help with the campaign the rest of the day
