The elections are in progress NOW.
I heard this morning that by (before) November 2nd that two-thirds will have already voted.
I think the media should call November 2nd 'Results Day' and not election day ;)

And all the talking heads talk about 'will this or that be able to sway the votes by November 2nd' is silly too - since people are voting now!

4. I think the OP means that by election day one third
of voters will have voted. That's the statistic that I've seen tossed around in various articles.

8. No early voting in my state :(
Unless you file an absentee ballot. I wish we had early voting in Mass.

11. I always vote on Election Day
Two reasons for this:

1. I'm an election judge.
2. I get to use a paper ballot.

12. I voted last weekend. All those phone calls and mailers are useless.
I'm still trying to figure out why I got a robo-call message on my answering machine encouraging me to vote for a Republican. I've never been a Republican; I'm a registered Democrat. What phone list did I end up on?
