Believe it or not, you can already cast in your vote in a couple of states:

Check out Michael McDonald's analysis here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-p-mcdonald/early-in-the-early-voting_b_12303146.html

Iowa
Iowa absentee ballot requests at first blush look very good for the Democrats. As of Friday, Sept. 29, registered Democrats lead registered Republicans by 44,435 requests, or 78,135 for Democrats to 33,700 for Republicans. The Democratic lead has been mounting daily, starting with a difference of 27,465 on Sept. 19, the first day the Iowa Secretary of State started publishing statistics. While these numbers appear good for Clinton, the statistics belie a weakness in comparison to 2012.

North Carolina
At first blush, it is Republicans who appear well-positioned in North Carolina. This week, registered Republican absentee ballot requests surpassed Democrats. The Republican margin now stands at 5,863, with the Republicans at 35,464 and Democrats at 29,601. This is to be expected. Unlike Iowa, Republicans traditionally do better than Democrats among North Carolina’s mail ballots.

The 2012 comparison, however, reveals continued weakness for Republicans and strength for Democrats. Republicans are now running at a deficit of 15,216 absentee ballot requests compared to 2012 while Democrats are running above by 4,549.

 

Maine
Maine continues to be an interesting case. Statewide the early electorate looks similar to 2012, in a state Obama won 15.3 percentage points. Maine splits its Electoral College votes by congressional district, and Obama won the Second Congressional District by a more narrow 8.6 percentage points.

Statewide absentee ballot requests are down slightly from 2012 among registered Democrats, and up slightly among Republicans. This is probably not enough to upset the statewide vote. Drilling down to the Second Congressional District, the drop-off from 2012 among Democrats is larger. Will this be enough to split the Electoral College votes, as some polls suggest, is worth continued monitoring.

NY sucks.... they want us running around after work. Which means the lines are longer since everyone is voting literally, at the same time.

Don't vote. That's my message to all of you. 

That's the worst advice.

well, who is winning?

It's a little hard to tell. Right now only a few states have allowed voting. Early voting tends to favor the Democrats, but I'll update this as days go by.

Basically some states have early voting. (The exact dates are here: http://www.nass.org/elections-voting/early-voting-dates-absentee-ballot-deadlines-2016-general/ )

 

But MOST Americans will vote on November 8- which is Election Day :)
