Iā€™ve heard some forecasts say we could see upwards of 80% voter turnout. Weā€™re already at 90M votes casts.

People of all stripes are fired up like Iā€™ve never seen, except maybe Alabama in 2018. Iā€™m here for it!

Itā€™s only up because you now have mail-in voting in all states.

I think weā€™re probably as apathetic as ever.

Apathy by definition would suppress voting, not increase it.

Voted last week. I'm a postal worker and we have always had mail in ballots so we are used to it. We do have a team of people coming in and making sure that the ballots are registered and going to the appropriatae board of elections.

I voted by mail about 10 days ago. Tracked online and it was received by the registrar!

Thanks for all you do now and always! I've long been impressed with USPS. Everyone probably knows a horror story, but considering the billions of pieces handled year over year, y'all do a superb job. All of our local post office staff are extremely friendly.

We voted about the same time!
The load at the Post Office has to be like Christmas Mailing combined with traditional 15th of April tax dead line. Plus, add first of the month billing!

We are seeing massive mail in voting in Michigan and hearing the same from friends in neighboring States...

If you haven't voted, please take the time to visit your communities' Voter Information and assure you understand what is on your ballot, as it can differ from year's past. If you plan to mail in your ballot, you really should consider taking your ballot to your Districts office!!!

Oregon registers you automatically as party unaffiliated when you get your drivers license or state ID. Iā€™ve gotten ballots in the past, but this is the very first time Iā€™ve ever voted.

Apathy by definition would suppress voting, not increase it.

If there wasnā€™t mail-in voting, you would have nowhere near the numbers weā€™re going to see. Mailing a letter is easier than waiting in a line.

Also, Iā€™m assuming these numbers theyā€™re reporting include mail-in, not just early in-person voting.

I will be one in the UK staying up to see what the decision is for you guys. I don't have a preference of course but I have always stayed up to see your results, so I hope it goes well and whatever the result it can be accepted pragmatically by all.
