What does it mean when they put this on their site:

"Voters have the right to vote, regardless of whether they are sick or in quarantine.

Voters who are sick or in quarantine should take steps to protect poll workers and other voters. This includes wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet away from others, and washing your hands or using hand sanitizer before and after voting. You should also let poll workers know that you are sick or in quarantine when you arrive at the polling location. Check with local authorities for any additional guidance."

(Sounds encouraging to me, I would have assumed they'd say to mail in or have someone drop off a ballot for them...)

I read it as though they were stating the legal rights, and were therefore giving advice on how to vote. I may be wrong, but if it can be construed both ways, it may not be advisable to put the word encouraged in a headline. Just my two cents. Feel free to ignore. (As thought you need my permission to ignore...)

Don't worry, that post is never happening...

Can we get some kind of count/survey of people in Blue states that don't usually bother with the general elections who actually went out to vote this time? Just wondering.

AFAIK we only have one Jew and he lives on my block. They thought I would be a good choice to keep an eye on him.

Does his last name start with an M and end with a Z (or is it an S) by any chance? And are you sure it's a he and not a she?

Probably and omen. It starts with "R".

I too am wondering that, but I'm hopeful we can harness this for future more local elections that will be more impactful.

Monsey - about 5 minutes to get into the parking lot due to a bad driver. After that, total about 5 minutes including time to get a new ballot because some five year old made what could be construed as a stray mark on the first one.

At our site there was someone outside telling people that they ran out of paper and to come back later. He's been reported and RNC sending someone to investigate what seems like an obvious case of voter suppression.

In Port Washington, NY...took me 5 minutes at 9am. More cars in the parking lot than voters inside!

Democrats in PA are reporting no wait time at polls. Many of them voted 10 or 15 times in the span of an hour.
