    Last I saw, 18 million people have already voted, probably closer to 20 by the end of today. 2 million have voted in Georgia, which is about half of the total expected. According to trackmyvote.org, mine has been counted. Get your happy ass out there and vote. Feels good.

      I mean, that’s gonna be true regardless, but

      All told, 1,027,585 absentee ballots were reported on Oct. 20, 2020. As of Tuesday, this year’s combined total was 475,460.

      Early voting in Wisconsin is way down from what it was in 2020 (edit: on the same relative voting day).

    I had to drop an overdue book off at the library and it was packed! Whoo!

    Forgot about the in person early voting because I mailed my absentee ballot a while ago

    I submitted my ballot to my county clerk waaaaay back on 09OCT, it shows as counted. It was ahead of when drop boxes came out, but any time after 03OCT is valid.

    I know a lot of other people who just haven’t dropped it off yet, but basically nobody I know is willing to actually mail them back due to that bullshit with the post office maybe dumping ballots back in 2020… much safer to bring them directly, or vote early in person.

    However, when I was canvassing, tons and tons of people said they were planning to vote on Election Day (and I didn’t bother asking Trump voters about their voting strategy plan, fuck ‘em, don’t care.) or had mail absentee that they were going to use.
