1. no thanks

I need to work on the 2nd..
besides, in NYS, we only have 1 real party.
the GOP just gets to decide who will lose to Cuomo, Kristen, and Chucky..

[HopeHoops]

2. I'm on the list - well, the one I signed up for at the Democrats booth at our Pumpkin Festival.

I'm doing a 2-hour shift.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I ate lunch, played some music, did some reading, showered, pooped, and talked to people.

Oh, and I went shopping for some cold medicine. And I ate a candy bar.

Plus breakfast.

That's about all i can remember doing today.

4. Like

I tooted my own horn.

5. Since I didn't have much time to work to GOTV this year...

I decided to volunteer to table at the precinct on Nov 2nd.
Maybe I can make a difference that way.

6. I have done that a couple times.

Take food and water with you and be prepared to sit for hours. And make sure you are sitting where you can hear important discussions with voters while keeping an eye on the voting booths.

8. there's a bit of scuttlebut about a right-leaning

County Clerk, so I'm a little worried about the atmosphere that may cause. I'm hoping all will go smoothly.

11. everything said MUST be non political

it is illegal to discuss anything like that at all. I think it comes under electioneering. So, unless the people are just jerks, you should be fine.

7. We hyave been on the list for several years, and were called last month,

but neither uf us can do it because of health.

9. Gotta work. This is America, not some civilized country that gives its citizens

the day off to vote. I'm gonna work until they boot me out, which may be soon. Layoffs are pretty regular now.

[LiberalFighter]

10. I've been working the last 6 weeks filling Democratic slots for pollworkers.

We have filled all but 43 out of 406 slots at this time.

[WhiteTara]

12. I've signed up to be a polling place worker

I love doing this stuff.

[Zax2me]

13. Is that all?!

Just kidding but been there, done that. We always have a surplus around here anyway. I plan on doing more direct get out the vote stuff.
Came up empty on driving vans, already full. (So much for uninspired Dem base!)
But will work putting up some signs and doing some live person phone bank calls the week of.

[jillan]

14. They won't let me do it part-time but today I made 110 phonecalls to get those early ballots

returned.

Hope everyone is doing something other than posting on DU.

[Trocadero]

16. great job!

15. I was a Poll Watcher once.

In my very very liberal town, I think the one lone conservanut showed up and literally backed me into a dark corner. It took two men to get him off me.

I will never do that again. Ever.


Now, I drive people to the polls and volunteer to stuff envelopes. My days of being a punching bag for RW crazies are over.
