May I ask why? I got my papers last week but I'm holding out till the last minute being we're not just voting for the presidential candidates but a bunch of local City Mayor/council members and tax/education/environment propositions.

I'm new to this game being it's my first general election vote so clue me in.
 
Why wouldn't I? I already know who I'm going to vote for. I'd rather get it done as soon as possible.
I know who I'm NOT voting president for but things change so quick locally with arguments with the mayor and council candidates that I want to be informed. One of the guys trying to be a council member I really didn't like a month or so ago but I'm coming around to him now, that might change again in 3 weeks.

That's fair. In my particular voting district, every local election is just a Republican running unopposed, so waiting isn't a worthwhile endeavor for me.

Understandable too, if that's the case in your area. My first vote after Kevin McCarthy threw the towel in there were only two candidates on the ballot, both Republicans and I went with the guy who lost. The other guy has been doing wonders for our hospital recently so I got that wrong....I'd rather just read up on what they're all doing right up till the last day.
 
Watched the mayoral and council member questions on youtube and glad I did. One of the measures I completely changed my mind about.
 
If you already know it's easier with the lines and such to vote early. We know locally who we are going to vote for as well as nationally. So we will. If you are undecided then ypu wait until you are before voting.
 
I don't believe on early voting. I believe it is our civic duty to vote on election day. If you are in the service or disabled, do what you must. But when I wait on line and go to the polls, it feels good, and I feel American. I also believe early mail ins are ripe for corruption. Just my opinion.
 
hey man i'm coming next month to america, where can i find alcohol?

Depends where you go.

In New Hampshire they have huge liquor stores where it's so cheap it's like they're giving it away. Right near a state border they have mirroring stores on either side of the highway to get you coming or going.

If you're going too far south beware of ending up in a dry county.

Voting should be quick and easy. I vote on election day but I live in Canada; I get four hours off to vote and it never takes me more than ten minutes.

Conservatives in America make it as inconvenient as possible for (certain people) to vote.

I'm at one of my first positions where I am not working 12 hour shifts, which at the hospital typically run over. Voting day was not always possibly to attend.
