Check In 1 November

[tanaqui]

A last check-in post before election day!

What are your plans for Tuesday? I can see from our I Voted! post that many of you have already voted by mail or through in-person early voting. Will you be working on GOTV efforts or at the polls or on a campaign? Or just hunkering down (with copious amounts of alcohol?) or having an early night?

We've had lots of good posts in the comm recently but please continue to let us know about anything new.

Don't forget to check out the previous couple of check-in posts — including the comments — because they had some good donation, action and GOTV resources.

We also have the Election Resources Round Up we compiled at the start of the year, where I'd particularly highlight 866-OUR-VOTE, which offers on the day support to people having trouble voting.

I'll put up a post on Tuesday for people to talk about the events of the day and the results of both main event and downballot races and propositions. Meanwhile, here's this week's poll.

I had signed up for "ballot tracking" just before i deposited my ballot in the official box. I've checked my ballot's progress; it was received, accepted, and counted.

I am thinking really hard about what I'm willing to do/feel competent to do this week, and I don't have any answers for myself. I need to find some.

Textbanking today for Pennsylvania.

Also, texting the last of my friends who haven't yet voted to get their ballots to a dropbox.

Signed up for the local Protect the Vote protest, if such is necessary.

I have a clothing and food plan, for whether I'm out in the weather or not. (I expect this week to be... emotionally daunting, and I don't want to have to worry about those.)

I was at my parents' place this weekend, because today we celebrated my oldest sister's birthday. My nephew and niece came with their parents, and my niece said that if Donald Trump wins this she's gonna roll around on the floor and punch everything in sight. This coming from an 8-year-old whose parents have taught her and her brother well.
