We are eight sleeps from Election Day. Home stretch, people. I know that about now you’re either avoiding coverage altogether (possibly to avoid accidental viewing of today’s SCOTUS travesty), or bouncing between refreshing this site and FiveThirtyEight.
In this space last week I shared that Mr. Brillig and I had returned our early voting ballots, while K1 was choosing to vote on November 3rd because she’s never gotten to vote in person before. Results so far for my Massachusetts town after 9 days of early voting show over 50% of registered voters have already cast ballots, a number equivalent to 65% of the total 2016 vote. We have four more days of early voting. According to information on tonight’s news as I prepared this diary and at US Elections Project, somewhere near 65,000,000 Americans have cast ballots.
I invite you to share in the comments whether you’ve already voted, plan to vote early, or will vote on Election Day. If you are ineligible to vote because Reason, you’re still welcome! If you are eligible to vote and don’t plan to cast a ballot, just know we’re all looking side-eye at you.
Have a Wicked video then hop over the fold for the Tops!

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
