I broke from my usual habit and did early voting tonight. The line was <em>long</em>. When I arrived after work, there were about 50 people in line and it increased up to 80 at one point. There were six voting booths. Kudos to the folks from the OC Registrar's office because if they felt any pressure, they didn't let it show. They were very helpful and all smiles.
Back to the point.
If you can vote early (which ends tomorrow, Tuesday 10/28), or vote by mail (aka absentee), I would suggest doing so, unless you're taking the day off on 11/4. I think turnout will be much higher than usual.
