Your state doesn't have early voting?

It might... How does one go about doing that? Chances are if I don't have to take the day off to vote I have to take it off to go to the DMV or whatever.

I mean, for us it's a week out for the Presidential. I voted on Saturday before the actual election day voting. It was at the Library downtown, but I could still do it.

Chances are I still wouldn't bother.

I tried googling it and it seems like there's some application to submit to the local election office. Not sure if that means in person or what but either way I'm already looking at at least a trip to the library to print the application out...

I thought for sure Kanye was going to inspire you to vote.

The only thing Kanye will inspire in me is a hate crime

Nor are you endorsing Trump (or Biden) if you find both choices to be abhorrent and decide to abstain entirely.
