I did.... last week.

I even voted for a libertarian because that was the only alternative to voting for the incumbent republican congressman here.

I live on a tiny blue island in a deep red sea... :cry:

So who else did their civic duty?

I ALWAYS vote just as soon as the ballot comes in the mail. if you don't vote, you can't complain [as much]. BTW, it seems early news came in of voting place difficulties [mainly in predominantly working class neighborhoods, as usual] have occurred in NC.

My wife and I voted by mail, which most voters in Washington state do.

absentee voting is surely nice, but for the homeless and otherwise transient there needs to be some way of accommodating them as well.

Doubtlessly true.

I voted, but I'm not telling you who I voted. Just that I didn't vote for the incumbent in our county.

I did vote yesterday because the idea of Republicans gaining control of the Senate scared me too much. Unfortunately, I expected the outcome.

I voted early too, as it's always a great exercise, to practice, even it the results are assured as they are in the red state local area I live in where Democrats for the most part do not even go to the trouble to try get in to try to win.

The multi-party system works.

It's a sad state of affair though, when folks don't even try to run or vote, as people did die for that right.

I voted. Thankfully, the current Governor of Oregon won re-election, although narrowly, and a measure that would have allowed GMO labeling thankfully failed, although narrowly.

A measure that allowed legalization of recreational pot was approved, making Oregon the third state to legalize recreational pot.
