If you are American and you haven't voted yet, GO VOTE!
Vote for Harris/Walz.
Vote Blue down ticket.
You're voting for Democracy.
At the end of the day or very soon thereafter, I believe, we'll be shouting with joy,saying

"@ that is AMAZING to hear! I’m up in wake county, so it’s safe to say it’s mainly blue here. While I was walking up to the building today, I veered as far as I could over to the Harris booths. 😂 Whenever I saw a person with an American flag on their hat, I steered clear….Nope, no pamphlets for me, thanks. Now my hometown of Wilson, I expect it to be as red as can be. 90% of the people I went to school with are Maga 🙄 and I have a feeling I’m going to be deleting a lot of people off of my FB friend’s list tomorrow. 😂"

"Are there separate booths for Trump voters and Harris voters then? I thought your vote was private."

"@RosemaryParrott-v7e, in the United States, voting is private. My guess is that those booths that were mentioned in that previous comment are tables for sample ballots and other political flyers. Where I vote there are no literature tables for that and people who hand out that literature/sample ballots are required to stand outside some distance away.
Btw, I'm an African American woman who voted with my daughter around 7:30 AM this morning in Pittsburgh, PA. Voting for us took about 10-15 minutes. This is the first time we ever stood in a line to vote. usually, It's in and out. The people making up the line were diverse. There were more women then men, and there was an equal number of Black people and White people. I happened to stand in front of a young Asian man. This racial diversity reflects the neighborhood where the community center which is the site of that particular voting place that my daughter and I are assigned to (based on our address).
Pittsburgh uses paper ballots for voting now, having switched from electronic ballots some time ago. Voters are given the ballot, an ink pen and color in the circle next to the candidate they are voting for. The ballot is then put in a machine under the watchful eye of a poll worker.
I know Kamala Harris will win Pittsburgh, and I believe she will win Pennsylvania and will become our first female President in a landslide!!
Btw, this was a great podcast, Brett. Thanks for all that you, your brothers, and all of MTN do!! Keep on keeping on."
