Check In 6 November

[tanaqui]

This is the last check-in post before election day!

What are your plans for Tuesday? Have you already voted (in person or by mail) or are you planning to vote on the day? Will you be working on GOTV efforts or at the polls or on a campaign? Will you be following the results avidly or having an early night?

Please let us know of any last minute actions people can take and feel free to talk about races or ballot initiatives/ propositions you're particularly interested in.

If you didn't see it, or need a reminder, take a look at last month's check in post, which linked to four posts made by sathari with lots of great links for this election cycle.

And I want to highlight 866-OUR-VOTE, which offers on-the-day support to people having trouble voting, as well as lots of resources and links — in multiple languages.

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

Also, I don't know if this is what sabotabby is warning about and don't want to ask them to waste cognitive load doing Canada 101 for Americans, but the timing is right: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/huge-fines-loom-for-striking-canada-education-workers/ar-AA13K83f

That sounds like the one.
