Those are Pit Viper glasses. You can wear Oakleys and not scream "douche nozzle" but Pit Vipers take you to the top of the bell tower and scream it to the whole town.

I'll take (my mediocre level of) intelligence over confidence any day of the week. That guys life is probably quite dull, and full of anger.

But yes, it would be relaxing oh my.

More convenient. The polling place is on the way to work, a few blocks from my house. The early voting locations are much further away. I have a friend who volunteers at a polling place every election, and he's explained the procedure to me: Even if I voted in-person absentee (i.e. early), they keep my ballot sealed until election day, then it has to be transported to my polling place, and an election volunteer has to physically walk it through the same process of consulting the voter book, and placing it in the scanner.

It's not quite the same, of course. I was behind one of these volunteers this morning, and he located a long list of voters in the book, rather than doing it one at a time. But, at the bottom line, my ballot has to be physically cast at my polling place on election day by somebody. So why not go do it myself?

There are way less early voting locations and they typically close earlier, so they're (purposely) much less convenient to plan for. The one time I early voted, I waited in line for like two hours. They ended up staying open past the advertised close time so those of us still waiting in line could vote.

Meanwhile, this morning I went and voted at my normal location and it took like 20 minutes from parking to getting back in my car, and the poll workers there said it was the busiest they've seen so far.

I'm in an area that isn't under threat of having my vote invalidated

But what if there’s a last minute announcement and it turns out the democrats are all aliens?

Spoiler: I’d probably still vote Democrat in the unfortunate event that I’m an American and in that situation.

In the US, we like to make voting a challenge. No election day holiday, polling places usually have hours within 9-5, and mail-in ballots are being postmarked late because of cost cutting in the USPS.

Early voting is one location deep in the city center with a 2 hour line, USPS can't be depended on to deliver a ballot in time. Day-of voting provides a local, low-traffic polling station.

Well, for me I've been out of town then sick since early voting started. Finally can get out today. Normally though I prefer to skip the lines and vote early. My state also does not allow mail in without reason (which is fucking nonsense but alas).

Because the hours for my early voting location are the same hours that I work.

what a day to be able to read [shudders]
