Regardless of your choice, or your location (swing state or not) please vote today. Exercise your democratic responsibility and share your views with the politicians. You get the government you choose - so go out and submit your choice!

A co-worker went early, got in the booth…and saw they were incorrectly given (2) ballots. They only filled out one and gave some choice words for the election officials afterwards.
I love voting - going to do it on the way home. I don’t understand the people that vote absentee all the time. I can understand if you are going to be out of town, but I really enjoy making the special trip to cast my vote.
It amazes me that a country with such amazing imagination, inventiveness and technological superiority can make it so difficult to vote!
While our turn out is embarassing (~51% in last election), here in Canada, I can practically walk up to the polling station, vote and exit in 5 min, tops. Even if we increased turnout by 100%, it would still only take ~10-15min (depending on demographics of polling station - i.e. working types would all show up either before or after work…).
I sure hope that not too many people are turned off (or turned away) due to the lineups…
