I'm going to vote in person on election day, like a weirdo.


I live in a high-poverty, high-minority area, so there won't be any lines.  Thanks, Republicans!
ok I was going to let this pass cause youre probably off your meds but curiosity got the best of me

just how have republicans caused your community conditions

or are you just building strawmen like you accuse others of doing

I mean I can play that game too my car needs repairs thanks dems

We saw lines on TV, so they shirely must be everywhere....

You can find almost anything somewhere in this country and film it for effect.

On Wednesday, it will be 3 weeks since we got here. Have not gotten one single piece of mail. Mrs. 847 went to the post office on Saturday and found that they were forwarding all mail to my condo in Palatine, which I vacated on 7/30. One of my dock mates picked up some mail in Kenosha yesterday.

What I would really like is the check for my boat sale. 

All of this after I went on line to stop all forwarding on September 22.

But yeah. Mail-in voting will be fine.

toss your vote in the mail at your own risk

I'm voting in person

as usual

my vote for President won't count for much being in Iowa, in-person or mail

but my votes for state and local elections might be important

You don't think?  Polls show Iowa to be pretty close.

I'm not a big believer in polls these days. Has anyone here ever been called for one?

I did one time. I gave a false answer for the fun of it. :)

Im getting called 3 to 4 times a week

I always tell them Im a Black woman (poller was a machine) voting for Trump

If its a person doing the polling I turn into Mr Lib voting for Biden

I suppose it could be important

Iowa went with Obama
Iowa has a senate seat open that is hotly contested, unfortunately.  The Ads are ridiculous to say the least.

For some reason, such behavior makes me uneasy. I'm trying to place a finger on why. 

I suppose I probably won't sit through a pollster's questions.

polls are useless for many reasons

such behavior is merely one of them and probably the least self serving

Oh no, not that. I don't care about that. Polls are deeply limited, though people have trouble navigating that. I care about the why. 

It's the sort of glee taken in lying. Like, we live in a world where we question the truth of so many things, but we also get a sort of less-than-mature joy from contributing to it.

I wouldn't call it lying. Intentional misleading.
