    I’m in a deep purple area, 49.5 to 49.0% in favor of Biden in 2020. I’ve tried to vote twice so far this week between meetings and the line was wrapped around the building, I’ve never seen it like this.

      You should only vote once. I hear they get angry if you do it multiple times. /s.

      In all seriousness though, please vote! Some counties even show how busy the polls are online.

        Good call on wait times on the website. 5 minutes further away there was no wait time vs 45 minutes nearest to me. Easy peasy.

      I think one other time I had to wait in a terribly long line. Maybe it was 2008. I think many were amped to vote for the first black President but the battle was too uphill. McCain was also a pretty stand-up guy compared to, well, most of the GOP at this point.

    Obligatory: still go out there and vote no matter how many times we hear reassuring stories about turnout! Do not assume the rest of us will be enough. Vote. Vote. Vote.
