Vote early. Almost every single area in the US has early voting at least 2 weeks before elections. People complain about long lines and lack of ballots on election day. You know what you get if you stumble into a polling place before that? A couple of bored poll workers in an otherwise empty building. You get your ballot, fill it out, and leave within 5 minutes. I seriously don’t understand why this isn’t used more.
There’s been a misinformation campaign for years that early/mail votes “don’t count” or get thrown away, so people wait until “real” election day to make sure things are “handled properly”…

There’s also been a Republican campaign for years to actually try and make those votes not count.
I always found it weird that voting in the US takes so long
The longest I had to wait in queue was 5 minutes. Normally I just walk in, vote, had out
People like to procrastinate
