This matters before Tuesday – since early voting continues through MONDAY in about 20 states.

It's going strong still in Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Wisconsin, Maine, California, Vermont, Arkansas, Minnesota, Arizona, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Idaho, Montana, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, and Nebraska.

And you can turn in Absentee ballots still in most states. Even where the absentee deadline was earlier, as in Pennsylvania, the votes you mark for federal candidates, President and VP, will be counted for all absentee ballots turned in before Tuesday's poll closing.

Learn the ID requirements -- they are not limited neatly just to states known as the so-called "VoterID states." In most states, it's important especially if you're a first-time voter and you registered by mail instead of in person. It affects processing of your absentee ballot too.

"Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them."

--Sigmund Freud

And while they may be adults chronologically, our sociopolitical structure is dominated by emotional infants.
