US peeps! Do you have a plan for Tuesday? Know where your polling place is, and how you’ll get there? Know when you’re going? Pick a time and treat it like a super important appointment (BECAUSE IT IS) and allow for lines and delays. Maybe there won’t be, maybe you’ll breeze right in, vote, and breeze out with your I VOTED sticker, but build in the time anyway.
If you’re voting on an electronic machine, DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BALLOT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT IT. I’m hearing that some systems uncheck things, or change straight ticket D to straight ticket R if you hit particular buttons before screens load all the way (isn’t that interesting) so be sure that doesn’t happen to you. Me, I always choose paper, but I don’t know if that’s an option everywhere.
Whatever you do, VOTE! It may seem a small and insignificant thing, and the trashfire we’re facing so much bigger than anything you can do, but do whatever you can, even so. Each of us doing small things–it adds up. Snowflakes and avalanches, right? And voting isn’t as small and insignificant as it seems, or the fuckers wouldn’t be working so hard to stop so many people from doing it.
