How near is your polling station to you? I've never lived more than about 2 miles from one although this is a slightly smaller country!

Here in NY, polls are open for 15 hours (6am-9pm) statewide. To the best of my knowledge, its been like that for decades. Does that differ from state to state?

I live in a rural area, but I've never encountered anyone who's been unable to secure a ride to the polls due to distance, and I've never had more than a 5 minute wait. That these cities have so few polling locations where people are lined up like Black Friday shoppers astounds me. by volume alone, I'm not surprised by the horror stories, but it seems like its a self-inflicted problem created by the local/State voting commissions.

I mailed in my vote already. Trump would approve, I suppose, since it's a "requested" ballot, which he says is fine ('cause it's how he votes). He may, however, not be happy with my choice for President.

I was speaking with my mother -- The two of us are politically aligned -- and we both voted by mail this year. She regularly votes by mail, at least since she has gotten older. This is the first year I voted by mail, and I have voted in every Presidential election since I was eligible to vote in 1988's election.

When the hubbub over the USPS and the removal of mail boxes was going down, I remarked to my mother that perhaps the only advantage of us living in a "Red State" is that at least our mail boxes should be safe, despite us not voting the way the majority in our State apparently vote.

My friend, who lives in Kentucky, has had to replace his Biden yard signs several times as local Republicans have stolen them from his yard again and again. Pathetic.

Well he's almost certainly a paedophile. 

There are independent arbiters of elections who work all over the world. Of course, due to the virus they will have barely any representation this year. America has become a 3rd world despot's kingdom.

I'd say it would be much harder to find times he acted properly, presidential, caring to the people of the United States, etc. I can't think of one moment. He's a toxic, mentally unstable game show host, con man and needs to go.

I thought it was simple. There's a debate tonight. Whomever shows up gets to speak to a national audience and their opponent - IF he shows up. Otherwise, he blew his chance.

ABC offered him a national spotlight - along with Joe Biden. Trump said no. So why should he get ANOTHER chance? There really ARE no consequences for his whining tantrums, are there?

Jesus God almighty, please go out and vote before Nov 4. PLEASE!
