I live in NY. I vote on election day. There's no other choice, not that I'm complaining. I have about a 30-40 yard walk, down to the end of the block, to the public grade school (where kids are required to wear uniforms!) to vote. Polls open at 6 and I'm usually there before 7 so that I can hit the Uruguyan Bakery right across the street (they open at 7) for some
pan con chicharron, a slightly salty bread baked with crispy pieces of fried pork. Nothing like pig for breakfast. (Imagine that. A voting thread becoming a food thread. Go figure!) Here in NY, only absentee ballots are early voting (which includes those who are disabled and unable to travel to the polling precinct). Everybody else votes on election day, with which I happen to agree. (We're also a closed primary state.) I hate early voting and voting by mail (along with same day registration), as there is too much room for fraud. I'm The Vote Nazi: If people can't take a couple of hours out of their oh so busy lives once every four years to vote on Election Day, then tough sh*t, no ballot for you.
ETA: La Nueva Uruguyan Bakery:
They also make some damn good
empanadas con carne; I may just have to pick some up for lunch/dinner on election day.
