In-Person Voting
If you can safely vote in person, please do.
The more votes counted on Election Night, the harder it will be for Trump to steal the Election.
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE vote early if you can.
Though in many rural areas that requires a long drive and you know your home poll is likely to be less crowded on Election Day, So stick with that.
Check with your Secretary of State's website for locations. Or call Biden-Harris HQ for info.
Rule # 1 - Stay Safe
Do whatever it takes to make sure you are safe. Suit up. Wear a mask, of course. Don't hesitate to add a face shield and eye protection.
2.
Take a chair and an umbrella to claim your 6 feet. Also take a blanket if you live in a cold climate.
3.
Take water and food.
4.
Wear comfortable clothes and sensible shoes. Wear clothes that will keep you warm if necessary.
5.
Wear clothes that will make it easier to safely use a public rest room.
Scope out the rest room options, make a pact with the people in front of and behind you to guard each other's spot while you use the rest room.
If you can, wear gloves that you only use for going to the restroom, and then take off and toss. Bring extra pairs.
Do not stand near the toilet when it flushes, close the lid, if there is one, before flushing.
Take hand sanitizer for after you use said rest room.
6.
Be prepared to devote the day to voting. If you cannot do that, then make a plan for Early Voting. Info here.
For some people, night works best, arriving an hour and a half before polls close - making sure you have time to park - and just waiting til it is your turn, all night if necessary.
For others, arriving first thing in the morning, getting in line at 5 AM works best.
And thank you.
