This year’s November 4th General Election is going to be huge. Expected turn-out numbers are all record setters even by the most conservative estimates. We should expect really long lines and possibly some problems with the process even with the best of intentions.
One way we can alleviate some of the stress is to vote in person using an absentee ballot but much earlier than the actual election day. Of course, if you have not made up your mind by the cut-off day, you’ll have to wait in line; but if you already know how you plan to vote – you can make election day itself a lot smoother and avoid the long lines by voting early.
Rob at RaisingKaine has published this diary with information about where you can get official information on early voting in Virginia:

I have taken a stab at what I think our ballots will look like, but you can get the same information at your State Board of Elections. Here are the ones I’ve been able to assemble so far for Maryland and Virginia:
