We voted about an hour ago....easy deal, people coming and going, steadily, and the polling place running very efficiently, with only a couple of minutes wait. No hassles, no protests, just friendly locals doing their duty.....another advantage of living near a small town.

I voted by mail at the end of September. Days after, I was able to confirm online that my ballot was received and accepted. So for a whole month I knew I had already done my civic duty and I live in a large metroplex.

Your right Don! In a small town you most often get a smile when you do business. Maybe I'm wrong but I find that people who interact with you in stores & business places in the big city seem to be more or less always wearing a frown. I'm not saying living in a small town is living in paradise but I'm saying that there are some advantages to a nicer, slower pace of life. Different strokes for different folks; I figure. Also, what you can put up when your 25 is very different to what you can put up when you are in your 70s.
 
I did not vote. I am not political anymore, that was for my younger days and now I let the younger generation decide what they want. I don’t expect to live another 4 years and will be surprised if I do. I find the last four years and the current election interesting, and humorous. Extremely humorous.

I am on the edge of my seat, as is everyone, over the election. I have an opinion and a preference which I do not share on here. But I am ok either way as all Americans should be. No need for anyone to get their panties in a bunch.

I find the responses of some to be overreactive and worrisome. But that’s my opinion. We are electing a president, not a king. We will have a new election in four years. Meanwhile, I hope it drags on. The longer it drags on, the calmer it will become. There will be recounts, those take forever which is fine.

I just want another stimulus check. I vote for a stimulus check. Where is the stimulus check pole place? 😂
 
I live on the outskirts of a city of 90 some thousand. Own a couple of guns (always have since childhood) never carry one and doubt that I ever will. Traveled from Maine to Florida and as far west as Ohio with our race team for many years and never been accosted or lived in fright. I sympathize with anyone who craps their pants on the way to the grocery store and find that they've misplaced their gun.

If someone decides to shoot me so-be-it. Most likely if I was carrying I'd be dead before I reached for my piece and if the "gunfight" was on a city street, one of us would probably shoot someone a block away with a stray shot.

I bought a pistol and took a gun safety course after I witnessed a racial incident at a gas station in which an elderly black woman was involved. The perp was a methed up white girl in her 20s. It terrified me to see it (very uncommon though I live in a 40/60 black/white small town in Mississippi), and to know I had no recourse to protect the older lady. Our town is 20 - 30 minutes away from law enforcement and legally I could have defended her.

Your "crap the pants on the way to the grocery store" narrow-minded insults don't always apply.
