Morning guys. Happy Election Day. I’m sitting here drinking my coffee already crying. I want to puke. Hope you don’t mind me posting some inspiring voting tweets today. I’ll start with Susan Rice.

Good morning. Also up early but more hopeful than anxious. My polls open in a few minutes so I might try to hustle DS out of the house early. Not sure I can wait all day to do this. Ahhhhhhhh! Let’s go!!!!!

I just read that a group is threatening violence if Stacey Abrams wins. I hope she wins of course but I hope that this election will be peaceful. We've got a lot of racists though.

Between my back and my nerves I couldn't sleep.
J has a fever so we'll be home all day and I'll be living in this board.

Shoot. I think it was discussed to start an election day thread, right?

I was thinking later, for results. Would two new threads be a good idea? One for today and one for tonight? I was thinking there might be people who don’t normally play here who want to participate, but don’t want to jump into this big thread. Love it. All the threads.

It would be kind of cool if Starbucks had special "I voted" cups. Like give you a discount and a special cup if you have a sticker. (Yes, I know, Colorado, you don't get stickers)

Parking lot was full at my precinct by 5:15 AM. Add me to the puke category. This makes me extremely nervous, given the demographic up on your side of town. Any Donnelly signs up that way? I really hope the line isn’t long at my location because I can’t be late for work, so I’ll have to leave at a certain point and go back later... It makes me nervous too for the same reason. Early voting up our way had 1-3 hour waits this whole past week. I honestly haven’t seen many signs at all really. On either side.

Add me to the list of kids who slept terribly. But he was all bright-eyed and smiley when H and I brought him with us to vote. So there's that.
I know there's more important things happening today, but if someone brings donuts to the office they will be my personal hero.

I slept better last night than I have in weeks but I've been a ball of nervous energy since I got up. I texted 523 voters in Arizona yesterday and then got a NYT news alert that declared Arizona and Nevada as "battlegrounds for control of the Senate." I'm going to do some more outreach to get through the day today.

IOWA - PLEASE VOTE THIS ASSHOLE RACIST SHITBAG OUT:
King suggests "we" will get a 7-2 court, and that Kagan and Sotomayor will elope to Cuba.

Do you have early voting? Yes, and it was expanded in my county this year. There was a location within walking distance from my neighborhood. Also, a lot of city/ state employees live in my neighborhood, so they have easier access. Most city employees have today off too, so I'm guessing they weren't up at 6:30 lol. At least I'm hoping. I just heard Indiana has a time limit on voting. WTF sort of shenanigans is this?!

I do know we're only one of three state who close the polls at 6pm, which is ridiculously early. A friend of mine who just moved there said there's a two minute time limit in the booth and that there was a CLOCK COUNTING DOWN ETA excuse me, I misread what she said, she said there was not a literal clock but that there were so many signs, including in the booth, it was really intimidating. She reported it to the SBE.
