Another reason to vote early this time - violence on election day

[Jersey Devil]

All of this red wave garbage, Trump's recent rants against women, immigrants and claims of voter fraud are designed to rile up his Magat base to the point of fury so that it may be likely that some of the really, really wacked out among them may decide to "help" on election day by discouraging people to vote by employing violence at the polls. Perhaps a shooting in Detroit, a wild mob in Atlanta, bomb scares in Las Vegas. If any of those things happen it will surely affect voter turnout.

Voting early means less lines, shorter waits at the polls and less opportunity for disruption. I don't think I am being paranoid in this concern. I think the danger is real and we ought to be prepared for it. I am betting that Joe and Kamala already have plans in place for such occurrences.

1. VOTE EARLY if you can, PLEASE!

2. How can trump claim we are a third-world country

if he doesn't provoke violence?

3. Bomb threats that close the polling place down.

That has been something that was thrown around.

4. I think that is the most likely form of violence that may take place

It limits the exposure of any of those Magats crazy enough to commit violence to some extent while letting their drooling rage out.

5. I have a tradition of walking that mile to the poll.

A one mile walk in the snow and rain, up hill both ways. I look forward to it.
I'm trained in anger management with my degree in Clinical Psychology. Plus 4 years of training at the Dojo. Not looking for trouble, but I'll be there to help those that need it.

6. For me it would be 5 miles but I'm too old (or lazy) to do that

But you have given me an idea, for which I thank you. I can use that as an excuse to buy an electric bicycle, which I'd really like but my wife says is "ridiculous" .

7. I'll be 75 next month and ran 5 miles today.

Well not really run, more like a slow jog and do that 6 days a week. Plus I have a pacemaker. It clears my head and takes away all of my aches and pain. I'm kind of addicted.

10. NOT ridiculous

An electric assist bicycle gives you great options. Go for it!

8. Me and my wife voted absentee already

We're done, just waiting for that massive blue wave.

9. I've been thinking the same thing. Yesterday I looked up

the early voting dates, times, and locations in my area and made a note of them.
