Just got back from early voting.

I chose to go to a minority-majority (lots of Chicanos/Latinos, Asians, Indians, African-Americans, Middle-Easterners) polling place in the county I live in, a red (neck) state somewhere in the South. Was thrilled to see a high turnout.

Considered making a protest vote but as the world is currently upside-down, I didn't want to risk it.

Several state & county positions were held by incumbent repigs, unopposed. I chose "write in," and put "any democrat" for my candidate. Of course it won't change anything, but it felt good to voice my opinion.
