There are going to be problems at the polls due to the amazing influx of new votes. Here's a piece from the local Gannet papers today:

In at least three counties - Essex, Passaic and Somerset - election officials do not think they will be able to process every form in time to get every registered voter in the books that workers use to check in voters at polling places.

Voters whose names do not appear in the books are entitled to use paper provisional ballots. The provisional ballots are counted after officials verify the voters are registered.

By the way, Blue Jersey scooped them on this last week. :-)

But the point is that every provisional ballot is one or two poll workers taken off the tables, one or two poll worker who isn't there to help other voters cast their ballots.

Which means longer lines, lots longer lines.

So please, please, please vote absentee this year. And get everyone you know pulling the Democratic lever to do so as well. It will not only ensure that their votes get counted and the lines are shorter, but it will make our GOTV efforts easier on election day.
