allows time to carefully understand the issues on the ballot and vet the candidates. mail in ballot also allows me the capability to track my ballot to ensure that it reaches to county election officials before the polls close

I always vote early, and it is so important this election. My early vote is one thing I can control in this chaos, and I need to feel some control.

I voted early, took my ballot to the Board of Elections in person, watched while they validated and entered official receipt. I wanted to make sure that my blood red state of Ohio turns purple or better yet, Blue!

Bravo!!! To everyone who made 17th October 2026 the astonishing success for America's resistance to the dangerous elements trying to destroy our freedoms. We do not move fast and break things, we move with care and consideration to create and build things for the benefit of many, not a few greedy misfits. That is the meaning of America, a nation designed for freedom, not dictatorship. We shall survive the disaster of electing Donald J Trump. No Kings is the beginning to prove America can still be the leader in a free world. Always remember what we stand for. If we forget, it will once again be easy to fall for the next wanna be king.

I vote by mail because I work the polls and don't want to forget to vote while helping others.

We have to fight this regime and it's oligarchs with our numbers. This is the worst US government in my lifetime of 74 years including Nixon and Reagan. This guy is dangerous to the whole world.

My wife and I voted early because there's SO much riding on these midterms!! In and out in about 15 minutes...spent part of Saturday canvassing in our city...met some really fired up people!!

I don’t trust the government so I fill out my ballot as soon as it comes in the mail. I don’t trust the Post Office so I took my completed ballot to a local ballot drop box. I so appreciate that Washington State has all mail in ballot voting creating time to research and vet candidates and to increase the number of registered voters voting because it makes it easier for people who work, people who don’t have transportation and for those who are not able to leave their homes for whatever reason. I used to trust the government and the post office until Trump began his mission to destroy democracy in America.

...I'm a poll worker. I want to make sure my vote is cast early so I won't need to take time away from my voters.

I voted early, because I want it counted now. Lessen the pressure on the 3rd. Standing in line to vote and getting a sticker used to be gratifying, Now it is critical that my VOICE be heard. We the People, not we the Billionaires!

So I can track it to see if they try and throw it out.
