OT: Voting on Tuesday

Nope. My Shih Tzu is a male...and much better looking. Also older I'm guessing.
And almost too friendly...with zero bad habits.
He's an incredible babe magnet when we go for our daily walks.
Nice concise response. However, I can't believe anyone in NJ doesn't know this already. Unless you are disabled, going to the polls is a waste of time this year. If you live in NJ you should have already voted.
Florida didn’t declare Bush the winner until Nov 26, 2000. And the Supreme Court ruling didn’t come until Dec 12.
We don’t need to declare winners on election night. We can wait a few days or even a few weeks if necessary.

Not true ... there are polling places open as far as I know... voted 2 weeks ago
In NJ? Where? That goes against everything I have read so far. I originally didn't get my ballot and called the Bergen County County Clerk and we discussed exactly what the poster wrote.
The info we got from the state, county, and our municipality all mentioned that there were in fact polling places that were gonna be open on Election Day. But you would receive the exact same paper ballot to fill out that was sent to our home. No machine voting.

At the current rate of early voting, there is going to be close to 100M votes casted before election Tuesday. Last Potus election in 2016, they was almost 139M votes total. A lot of non voters and new voters are showing up this election its going to blast last year's total.
Correct. If you go to the poll on voting day (and are not disabled) that ballot is a provisional ballot (so it won't be worth voting). Only the disabled that need a machine will be able to vote using the standard booth (where available). Vote by the ballot mailed to your house and drop in a voting box somewhere.
You're by far my favorite conspiracy theorist. I can't imagine what that other board must be like nowadays.
You can bring the ballot sent in the mail to your polling station on election day .
Good point. But why wait? You could just get it over with and drop in a box now. Not sure I would trust my local poll workers anyway.
Better yet, you can take it to your county clerk’s office and hand it directly to the person in charge of running elections. Better than handing it to granny at some random polling place.
In Middlesex County , CC office in East Brunswick 4 weeks ago I asked this on ( 2 different days & people) both said yes you could vote in person...but the “ governor wants people to vote by mail or if you had a special issue ( like a disability) you could apply to vote at town hall .The first person gave me the number for the governor’s office in Trenton. Also about the “ law “ suit filed... How’s this ... he calls in the National guard to count votes...how stupid and untrustworthy no matter who you are voting for... at this point I don’t care but I hope everyone has their vote counted .The latest I saw in the news... if your vote wasn’t in by today you are shat out of luck... Can’t wait...
From the NJ elections website:
"No provisional ballot is counted at the polling place. All provisional ballots are taken to the County Commissioner of Registration’s office after the close of the polls for verification and counting by the County the County Board of Election."
Chances are your vote will not be counted. Why take the chance?
How that be ? It is being said here all votes will
Counted Nov 10th so we will know a week later.
That has to be wrong.
Thanks for the clarification. That is why I voted as early as possible and dropped in the local ballot box. I checked the website and I am good (so far).
Because ALL provisional votes will be counted if they could change the result. Example: If there’s a candidate that is ahead by 50 votes in the mail-in count, and there are at 50 or more provisional votes, then the provisional votes will be counted.
If you want to get technical as long as the total number of provisional votes + the number of votes received by the second place finisher on Election Day is within 1% of the votes received by the 1st place finisher, then all the provisional votes will be counted.
Only if the 1st place finisher from the mail-in and voting machine count is so far ahead that there’s no way the 2nd place finisher could win even if he/she got all of the provisional votes, would the provisional votes not be counted.
I think there are going to be so many provisional votes this year that it will be necessary to open them in many many races.
In summary, all provisional votes will be counted if they need to be and nobody should not vote because they think their provisional vote won’t matter
The amount of voter fraud both ways will be incredible for this election. For the presidential election here in NJ it's pretty much useless to vote republican. However, it's the state and local elections that matter. So everyone should vote. That being said I don't expect the results to be official for a few weeks. Everyone needs to chill. We don't need any violence / protests.
The reason I have not voted yet is I am not sure who I am voting for in regards to president. I might vote for a third party candidate. Election day is when I will decide .
Would be a shame if people thought it's not worth voting with a provisional ballot.
There is plenty of time ( in most cases) for that ballot to be counted before it is part of the votes that make up the electoral college votes that are used by the state they are registered to vote in.
This election year the electoral college meet in each state and cast their ballots for president and vice president on Dec.14th
The electors' ballots from all states must be received by the president of the Senate by Dec.23rd
January 6th 2021 is when the electoral college ballots are counted.
Provisional Ballots

I was able to get the last couple of rounds from a local gun shop yesterday.
Agreed. However your provisional could be rejected (for whatever reason). Why take the chance? Just vote with the ballot mailed to your house. It's so simple.
That was an unusual circumstance due to the even division of EC votes and it coming down to one state where it was within 1000 votes
Here today we are inviting delays and indecision, and with that, distrust in the system. It is being baked in
Stupid imo
I'm speaking specifically of NJ. Voting Republican for president in NJ is a waste of time anyway. If you need to vote via provisional ballot, that's your choice. However to me it's laziness if people haven't already voted with the mailed ballot.
It takes time to count ballots. Saying we need a result on election day is beyond stupid. Just look at 2018 Arizona Senate race.
Why not just drop it in a ballot box now? You can track it via the website. I don't trust my poll workers. And my mom used to volunteer every year where I grew up.
How is it a waste of time? Almost every one
I talk to hates the Biden and Harris.
NJ hasn't voted for a Republican President since 1988. I agree on the sentiment on Biden/Harris, but I believe it's a long shot.
