Dropped the ballot off over a week ago. Can't wait to rock my "I voted" sticker tomorrow!

Just got back from the ballot drop box (we have "vote by mail" here and there are drop boxes all around so you can save the price of the stamp -- plus, I feel like they're more secure than mail).

Yep!! Getting there at 6:30ish so I can be one of the first ones to vote and not be too late for work.

I voted last week ahead of my sinus surgery. Relieved that I can sit at home tomorrow and watch returns come in. When I go to my post op appointment on Wednesday, I'm wearing my Hillary shirt.

I'll be there as soon as the polls open here! I wish we had early voting here!

Yes! I decided to wait until Election Day. I'm probably crazy. I'm kind of excited about the crowds.

Definitely! I am going early tomorrow morning before work. We don't have early voting in my state.

I said nope. I can't consciously vote for someone that I can't stand behind. People say to vote for the lesser of two evils but I'd rather not vote for evil at all.

Of course! It's not just the presidential election (although that's plenty - anyone really not care about the Supreme Court?) but there's tons of state and local elections, bond issues, iniatives, etc.

@littleblessings: Can you get behind one of the third party candidates? If you don't vote it will be viewed as voter apathy, but if you show up to vote and don't choose one of the big two, it has the opportunity to send a message. Even writing in Mickey Mouse is more impactful then not voting.

@littleblessings: honestly, that's where I'm at right now. I know I know I should absolutely vote but I'm struggling right now. I know who I would absolutely not vote for but having a hard time voting for someone who I have concerns about too.

@littleblessings: have you considered only voting for down ballot? My mom couldn't stand Clinton for Senate, so she'd vote for every other office and leave that blank.

@Mrs. Pickle: same- we had early Voting but I'm going tomorrow. With both kids...
@erinbaderin: I've heard from several people who aren't voting who said the same as @littleblessings: Or they voted for the other elections and left president blank. I can see their reasoning but I personally feel strongly that one candidate is far worse (more evil, if you will...). But I would guess that most of the "voter apathy" this election will be people who despise both too much.

Of course. So bummed I tried to do early voting but it was impossible long lines. I hope it won't be too bad tomorrow.

@littleblessings: Vote for gary johnson then? Besides, there are other issues to vote for other than just the president.
I am with you. I have been hating both candidates and was set to vote for gary johnson, only to find out he's an idiot too lol. Husband voted for Gary Johnson in early voting. I was still not sure who to vote for... then he told me the state we are in is sort of a battle state so I decided to vote for hillary.... because I seriously can not imagine that other guy to be the president.

I'm torn! I've never not voted, including midterm, primary, and local elections but I'm so depressed and defeated feeling about this election, I'm thinking of skipping. I'm in a deeply blue state, and not counting President, Senate, and Congress, there are only a handful of judges to vote for and frankly I haven't researched them. So... I don't know. Tomorrow's a busy day. We'll see.
