Turning in my ballot today.

[Podmonkey]

The Trump campaign has been pushing hard for people to vote early so while I'd rather vote in person on the 5th I am defering to his campaigns wishes:

I am taking it to the local election office personally despite it being 23 miles away.
As a Pennsylvania voter holding this ballot feels a little like holding a loaded gun.

I am going to vote early. Last time I voted for Trump I sat outside for almost 2 hours to exercise my right to vote on Election day....

If enough people vote early then it becomes too big to cheat.

 

[togmaster]

Vote early and vote often.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Vote early and vote often.

'Vote early' used to just mean 'when the polls open'.

People are probably requesting 2028 ballots already.

 

[Saltwater60]

At least your vote means something.

 

[Podmonkey]

At least your vote means something.

NY Trump votes can have meaning: if Trump wins the left will again point to the discrepancy between the electoral and popular vote as reason to challenge the results and to continue their crusade against the electoral college. The narrower that discrepancy the weaker their arguments are. God forbid he captures the popular vote, then they have nothing.

[dsdmmat]

Voted on Tuesday. My ballot number when I sent to the machine was in the 1700 range.

 

[S&W Fan]

There will be six of us going to vote early on Monday afternoon.

What’s the advantage of voting early?
I’m in a small town so it’s not about beating the lines

 

[Phazer]

Will be taking the whole family to vote early, in person, this weekend.



... for what it's worth in this godforsaken anti-constitutional woketopian bastion of a state.

 

[Robin]

I usually get there about seven.

...and like loaded guns, there are truckloads of mail in ballots just waiting to be used for the nefarious deeds of "the power by any means", democrats!.

Just to make sure you get there. Say you get sick on11/5 or in a car accident or something.

I agree it’s to the popular vote but Trump will never get NYS’s electoral votes. I will vote for sure it’s usual not a person I vote for except maybe Trump will end up in office.
I live in a liberal area that goes into Buffalo and they outnumber any conservative vote immensely. All the Erie county judges you might as well not even for because all 4-5 lines on the ballot have the same name for them. Yea Jim jones(example name) for the judges by me cover democrat, republican, working party, conservative and there’s a new one and it’s all the same name. I check the writ in box and always make a stupid comment like why no choice, any one but this Ahole, Donald Trump, and a few other things. Never changes. I hear the dems and republicans get together and decide for us who will be the judge on our behalf so they always run opposed. It’s stupid.
Most people don’t believe me so here is screenshot of the sample ballot.

I think after how things went down last election the Trump campaign wants to get off to an early start with as many votes as possible from the outset.
Frankly I don't think it was the actual mail in ballots that sank him last time but the democrat fraud. Nevertheless if the Trump campaign thinks early voting is beneficial to Trump's chances then I will go along. There will be massive fraud in this election but the hope is that camela is so unpopular and such a uniquely unqualified candidate that there will be to many votes for Trump to bury, change or last minute ballot print away.

I will be traveling on Election Day. So early voting was the only way I could make sure I could vote.

Yeah, that's what I've heard too. The more mail-in/early votes for Trump the less likely they can mysteriously discover 20,000 ballots (or whatever the number) for the Dems at 2:00 in the morning like they did last time. Also, and I hate to say this, more than a few people have an intention to vote but for whatever reason forget or decide they don't feel like going to the polls that day. I never understood this mentality. Voting is the most important thing a citizen can do, even if it's just writing in Mickey Mouse for every position.

I will probably vote on Election Day because I have that day off and also because my mom refuses to vote other than in-person at our regular precinct on Election Day itself and I'll be driving her there. For the record, I've never seen her so worked up about politics before. She absolutely hates Kamala Harris!

While I agree voting is very important and I do it but honestly my vote is nearly pointless. Oren’s no one over vote forgets elected. Since Trump won in 2016 three people I voted for have been elected if you count Trump himself. One was Trump, one was a local counsel person, one a county clerk and that’s it. None of the senators, house of reps or state wide elections ever go way

Your vote isn't pointless. It doesn't carry near as much weight as a swing state vote does but like I said it is still important to get Trump as many popular votes as possible.

I also worry that it tips our hand as to how many ballots the democrats need to print on election night.

There is approximately 340 million people in the US. If enough of the population turns out and votes early for trump, then trump could have enough votes to win before the election date. Let’s say 300 million turn out early and the vast majority vote for trump. The remaining votes left wouldn’t be enough to swing things back to the other team. And if the other team cheats, they need to cheat by such a huge margin that it becomes beyond blatantly obvious. Cant have 500 million votes come back in a country of 340 million people. Cheating works for the other team if it’s within the margin of what’s believable for country.

I'm sure this is what the Trump campaign has in mind. And it is why I voted early myself. In PA I have been bombarded with texts and calls from a variety of organizations to request mail ballots. The amount of campaigning in general in this state is beyond anything I have ever seen before. I don't watch network television at all, mostly YouTube and Tubi, and earlier the ads were mostly for Trump, lately they have been almost entirely for camel. I think that speaks more for the polling data than anything.

 

[Depick]

Early voting opens today. I will be casting my vote ASAP.

 

[IrishMick]

Done!
