Election Day is here
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 by Tai Moses
Today, at long last, is Election Day and polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. If you haven’t voted, here’s a list of Travis County voting locations; you may cast your ballot at any of these. Please vote safely: Wear a face mask, keep your distance if you have to wait in line and bring hand sanitizer. If you’re wondering whether it’s safe to vote, what will happen if there’s no clear winner in the presidential contest, and what if one side doesn’t accept the results, we recommend The New York Times‘ Anxious Person’s Guide to the 2020 Election, which succinctly answers all of these questions and more. And finally, what about predicted post-election unrest in the streets tonight? Well, we can’t foretell the future, but it’s always a good idea to stay safe at home.
