Diesel Doctor Posted November 3 Posted November 3 If you have not yet done so, just go vote on Tuesday. It's the least we can do for our future generations. Our country is at stake! 9

jass1660 Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Oh I voted but it doesn’t matter if they have an R, D, or I behind them once in it’s all about them and forget they work for us. 3
vtfireman85 Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Remember, it’s not the voters that decide the outcome of the election, it’s the ballot counters. 4 1 2
pt756 Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Just think of the millions that has been spent on this election, 2

I and I'm sure many others agree with you. But we have to keep trying. And yes it's like walking thru quicksand. But if enough people feel strongly enough about an issue I do believe there is some movement and give in the direction things go. It is never enough or fast enough, so it seems, but there can be gradual change. Lots of work to be done.. 3
Sledgehammer Posted Tuesday at 11:44 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:44 AM Waiting on the poles to open now. No vote equals no right to complain if you don't like the winner. Exercise your rights! 5 1

Rick G. Posted Tuesday at 12:21 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:21 PM Wife worked from home last week. We voted early last week Tuesday. 1
Chester5732 Posted Tuesday at 12:34 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:34 PM They also need to put it back to Election Day voting and screen the absentee ballots better. 2
iowaboy1965 Posted Tuesday at 12:42 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:42 PM I do agree every effort should be made to keep elections honest. I did vote early the last couple times. Not mail in, but in person. Had to show id and verify who I was. I don't have a problem with that. I'm not a big fan of mail in ballots. Tho my 90 yr old mother voted that way this time. She is to the point it would be difficult for her to vote in person, even with someone taking her. But I do see a huge potential for cheating with the mail in ballots and I do not like that. I hope none of my comments are out of bounds. They are not intended to be and mods may delete if they are. Have a nice day everyone, and follow your conscience. 2
Chester5732 Posted Tuesday at 12:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:44 PM I agree in person early is a lot better than mail in. Absentee has its place but not just because people don’t want to drive to the polling place. 2
Board Shortener Tom Posted Tuesday at 01:37 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:37 PM I recall some saying to me to vote for the lesser of 2 evils when it was presidential election time. I always wondered why to vote for evil at all?
jeeper61 Posted Tuesday at 01:51 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:51 PM Mail in should only be for those who are shut ins or those who are overseas in the military Early voting is fine as long as its less than 2 weeks France used to permit mail in voting, but banned it in 1975. This decision followed widespread concerns regarding voter fraud, after documented instances of electoral manipulation in Corsica It seems we always have to try the things that failed in Europe 2

vtfireman85 Posted Tuesday at 01:59 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:59 PM I wonder who submitted my ballot, because I never received it.
cjf711 Posted Tuesday at 02:10 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:10 PM local candidate has a tire recycling event right before elections always for the community, you can bring in 2 large farm tires, or 5 car tires and drop them off free of charge. ONLY allowed 2 large or 5 small and it is strictly enforced!. Unless you are a friend of the candidate and you pull up with a fully loaded dually with a car trailer made into a container with cattle panels also fully loaded. Then you can bring about 65 or 70. But for everyone else. STRICTLY ENFORCED! I mean, I took the 2 large rear tires and got rid of them so im not complaining for the free recycling... but, you have to laugh about this stuff. 2

IMO they should come and vote in person I would consider showing up at a US Embassy and presenting a valid US passport be allowed for Federal elections 3

That wouldn’t be possible. He votes with an absentee ballot. @dale560 and his wife are away from home due to medical reasons. They should not be allowed to vote?
