As a non-American, I don’t know exactly how your polling works, but why am I seeing “plan your voting day” or “set a voting strategy” like they’ve done on the Cards Against Humanity voting campaign?

Where I live, it’s just show up on voting day and cast your ballot, or ask for a mail in ballot, or go to a special voting station if you need (or want) to vote early. Is it the same in the US, and this is just getting people to gather those last pieces of information early and put a reminder in the calendar? Or is there more to it than that?

Thanks!

    If you live in a swing state there might be a lot being done to make voting difficult.

      And if you don’t live in a swing state your vote doesn’t matter enough for any party to try and sabatoge voting efforts. If this is Democracy then democracy doesn’t work.

        There is plenty of sabotage in poor and minority districts in non-swing states. There is more on the line than just the presidency.

          Yup, down ballot races matter just as much, if not arguably more. This says nothing of ballot issues or tax levies as well.
