Agreed! Doesn’t matter who you vote for, just vote! You may think your vote doesn’t matter but, if you don’t vote you are essential voting for the person(s) you are NOT leaning toward.

I disagree. Not everyone should vote.

I saw a reporter, recently, ask a young man who he was voting for for President.

"Kamala Harris", he answered.

The reporter then asked. "Do you know who is the Vice President today"?

A look of ignorant confusion ensued, as he struggled and couldn't answer.

Robust turnout in Bedford this morning. 30 minutes from getting in line to dropping off the ballot after voting. Regardless of who wins the presidency, I just hope that supporters on both sides refrain from mayhem.

I’m not sure that that is disqualifying. If it is there are a lot of people on both sides that should be disqualified.

Again, no matter who you support, VOTE!

Waiting for the results of this election is like waiting on the results of a biopsy.

Disagree. Not life threatening. Many of us will wake up tomorrow and continue on as if nothing happened. This morning I heard such a thing from a young barber. Didn’t even know it was Election Day. I did remind him my father in law spent four months in the South Pacific so he cannot care while others protected him. No, he was not the one holding a razor to my neck.

We went to the polls this morning and found it very uplifting. Not just to voice my choice, but to connect with others in my community. Saw some old friends and exchanged many smiles. I don't understand why more people are voting by mail these days. They are missing out on connecting with people, and a real community experience.

Agreed here. People who want to vote will vote. People who don’t, won’t. Also, and contrary to the reflexive but Constitutionally infirm aphorism, of course people who don’t vote still get to complain.

I’m a recent Massachusetts transplant and I’m so happy to show my ID now without getting we-are-not-amused looks from the poll workers. Everyone here was so friendly today. I wanted to go again!
