Vote early, vote often
Do agoraphobia and the prospect of record voter turn-out leave you dreading election day?
Well fret no more!
31 (of 50!) states allow some sort of early voting, thru absentee ballots or by actually voting on a (recordless) electronic voting machine.
In Athens, you can vote early 8:30am-5pm, M-F downtown at the ACC Board of Elections (I know I am 
until Friday, 24 October 2008.
And here’s Georgia’s list of early polling centers all in one low PDF!
For the rest, I came across CanIVote.org while searching for mine own local early voting info. They have pretty ausum and easy to use resources which can help one to learn about aspects of voting in one’s home state including (but not limited to) finding yr polling place (he-he), what documents and IDs one might need and (come on, duh) procedures for early and absentee voting.
And yeah, my ladyfiend just called me on my bullshit.
I can’t jabber on the subject of voting without at least mentioning vote fraud and the stolen elections of 2000 and 2008 but Greg Palast does it better.
Voting may not make a difference, but subtraction does!
But at least make them go to the trouble of stealing the election.

I cast my ballot a week ago here in Athens. Warmed my heart to see the polling place on Washington so busy.
Thanks for posting this Bob! This is one of the things I had been meaning to post here but kept putting it off until I could find all the info for other states.
I had been planning to wait to vote until election day - something about early voting seemed like opening presents before xmas morning - BUT now I am thinking about volunteering on election day driving people to the polls in the Buddy System van or something so maybe I will drop downtown for some early voting.
As long as we don’t let up now we are going to take this country back!!
