I would encourage you to bite the bullit (intentionally misspelled🙃), and vote early. What makes you think you won’t have to stand in line 2 hours on Election Day?

I like to vote on Election Day but I bit the bullet and voted early for the first time in my life this time. Realistically I knew I couldn’t stand up to voter suppression with five kids in tow, if it ended up taking many hours, if Election Day is a mess. And Trump asked us to vote early; it’s his last go around, he’s doing the hard stuff, if he asks us to vote early, I can do that.
Yes, for the first time in our lives, outside military service, my husband and I voted early. Not sure what the evil ones are planning for election day!
I am a traditionalist about Election Day too, Susanna, but given the last national election and all the shenanigans, might as well relent and get the vote in early.
Long lines may turn out to be the least of it. Look for cyberattacks, running out of printer paper, wrong size paper for the machines, antifa riots outside of polling places, water line breaks, power failures, "active shooter" area lockdowns, you name it. Earthquakes. Volcanic eruptions. And that doesn't even count the severe weather events that the govt may be readying for deployment. Get your vote banked before election day so that if you encounter any problem there will be time to fix it!
Yeah I don’t think suppression will be as dramatic where I live either - smaller, majority conservative municipality. Here they have to be more subtle (long lines) because we can see our election board in the grocery store and at the golf course. They aren’t anonymous in a small town.
I might. But I know these lines have been the same for weeks so maybe it won’t be as long on Tuesday. Regardless, I have only so much time today, although I probably could wait on Monday. We’ll see.

Or that some unforeseen event may close down voting on Election Day?

Dogs. Cats. Living together! Mass hysteria!
That’s always possible and why I want to try to vote early. But I do think it’s less likely to happen where I live.

Our early voting centers are open extended hours (til 6 or 7pm) and Saturday and Sunday too, I was surprised to find out…I’m in east central Illinois
Not Sunday here. But I can’t tomorrow, I’ll be out of town.
I guess it depends on how many people are voting more than once. And how many people crossed the border that day.
