As election day approaches tomorrow citizens across USA try different methods to manage their pre-voting anxiety. From early Christmas trees to pastry-making some found non-standard ways to cope with tension

In western Pennsylvania Danielle Trenney decided to put up Christmas decorations way-too-early: she couldnt wait until December to bring some holiday cheer into her house. Like many other citizens in battle-ground states she tries to find non-standard ways to handle pre-election stress

Jennifer Bunecke from Bellevue chose a different path — reading pastry recipes instead of watching news (which helps her stay away from never-ending campaign ads and phone-calls from polling companies). Both women represent different political views but share similar feelings about tomorrows big event

A recent poll shows that 3/4 of registered voters worry about post-election problems; with 90 pct of democrats and 64 pct of republicans expecting some kind of trouble. Many citizens remember the post-2020 events which makes them extra-careful about whats coming next

  • Some people choose outdoor activities
  • Others prefer meditation or yoga
  • Many just turn-off their TV-sets
  • A few started reading books

Shirley Easton from Tucson spends time writing vote-reminder postcards while Lisa Fields went door-to-door in Philadelphia suburbs: they both think its better to do something useful than just wait. Meanwhile Jean Thomson throws away all political mail without even looking at it — shes found peace in nature walks

I will be watching with my Xanax and my bottle of sauvignon blanc

says Gillian Marshall‚ a Lyft driver from Scottsdale who like many others just wants this stressful period to end
