In-person early voting begins in Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. — In-person early voting has begun across Wisconsin, with some people camping overnight outside of city clerk offices to be among the first to cast ballots.
About 75 people were lined up outside the city of Madison clerk’s office before it opened at 8 a.m. Monday.
Sandra Rivera-Derickson arrived at 5:30 a.m. to be the first person in line. The 66-year-old retired teacher says she wanted to make a statement that every vote counts. She voted for President Barack Obama.
The campaigns of both Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney were crisscrossing the state over the weekend and on Monday to encourage people to vote early. The in-person early voting period ends the Friday before the election on Nov. 2.

Big Red: You're right. Romney helped enrich investment into China, and still is. Ask the folks at Sensata in Freeport, Illinois. How did the President mess with your gun rights? He didn't, but the NRA would like you to think so. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/leo-w-gera...

"Reagan was the worst president in US history. His regime started the transfer of American jobs out of the country."

yada mouse and the fringe base with another lame attempt to take out Romney. As Obama still doesn't dare tell us a second term agenda or run on his bombed record.
Ironic how Obama fought for and got the foreign policy debate last. Karma.

Vector: go to http://myvote.wi.gov, choose "Regular Voter" and search your address. This will give you the contact information for your municipality - you can contact them directly to find out how to vote Absentee either by mail or in-person. The site also has a lot of useful information!

This should read In-Person Absentee Voting, not early voting. The ballots are sealed in a the same very specific envelope, whether voted by mail or in-person. The ballots that are marked in-person are not opened, processed or counted until Election Day - same as Absentee Voting by Mail.

Vector, every area is different. We vote in a township, so we have to go to the township hall when it is open, which is limited days/hours. I think City of Janesville is at the Clerk of Courts at the courthouse, or at least somewhere there. Hours therefore vary according to facility.

If you live in the city, you can go to city hall. Otherwise I think you would go to your town halls.

Can we get some local information on this page - where to go, what their hours are, etc.?
