“Actually, we didn’t know it was closing in 10 minutes,” he said. “But we managed to make it!”

He said this year’s election for local, state and federal leaders is a critical one.

1. Early voters in key swing states tend to be Democratic.

Trump and Stein (Vote counts for Trump) voters can bite me.

7. please read the text....

This was early voting for the PRIMARY. Sate office holders and congress critters. it was not general election voting!

DWS is being primaried in her district for example. But Hillary and the cheetoh manchurian are not on any ballots.

9. Voted last week, but it's just the primary.

Live in a pretty red part of the state. Only real vote was for Dem Senate candidate.

10. I'd swear my ballot said it had to be returned by the 30th.

But anyway, I mailed it a few weeks ago.
