My early voting location had a goofy frame you could take a picture with 😅

This is from Durham NC, so the text is a silly "Durham" pun. And the local mascot is a bull, so a lot of Durham themed stuff features a bull

Forgive my very sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I'm not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅

Feel free to post your voting pictures or "I voted" stickers in the comments; seeing them makes me happy!

  • Those glasses are actually pretty cool.

    • They're infield terminators with orange lenses

      If you have insomnia (specially sleep onset insomnia where it's hard to get to sleep, not the kind where it's hard to stay asleep) or delayed sleep phase disorder (what I have) they can be helpful

      They're not the specific glasses typically used on the studies (uvex skyper glasses made by honeywell), but those have a hard nose bridge which hurts my nose if I wear them for the durations the studies were on, and a guy did independent testing for a bunch of the blue light blocking glasses and found these did slightly better while being much more comfortable :)

      If anyone has questions or would like me to grab the study or the webpage for the guy who did the testing lemme know and I can go find the links :)

      Edit: I forgot to mention, a lot of people actually really like these (yellow tint glasses) because some feel they increase their contrast perception. So they're sometimes worn when motorcycling on a rainy day, or other times where more contrast might be helpful. For me it feels subtle, but my dad immediately commented on it when he tried them.

    • That was my first reaction too. I want them lol

    • And match the red on the poster!

  • Thank you for voting, fellow battleground stater! My voter sticker went through the wash, but I cast my vote in PA as soon as I could in October.

    • Hello from North Carolina! And thank you for participating in the election 😊
