Finally early voted

[conuly]

Dropped off Jenn’s ballot as well, a nice shield against electioneers. There was only one electioneer, but they were camped out right at the “no electioneering beyond this point” sign.

There wasn’t exactly a line to vote, but it was more crowded than I’ve seen it even on election days before.

If I’m testing negative to Covid and well enough the plan was to work this election but I can’t deny it would be restful to not do that.

Happy voting day!

(Here in WI they recently passed a law where you must drop off your own ballot, unless you have a disability. Fuckers.)

Glad you're feeling better, at any rate.

YAY! I voted in person a couple of weeks ago, conveniently had no line for a 4pm arrival.

Happy voting day, and good that there was only one electioneer.

Hanging out right by the sign is ballsy. Ugh.

At least I wasn't going to be randomly accosted. Still, I was glad I had an absentee ballot to flash at them!

I mean, I guess I could've dropped it in the mailbox around the corner instead.

According to the news - Channel 12 Brooklyn News, on Optimum - over 1.8 million New Yorkers voted early or took part in early voting this election (or 2024 November election) - which is a record. It breaks the record for early voting and the most voters in an election year, also in Brooklyn alone, 370,000.

That's not including mail in votes.

Whoa.

Wow.
