If you’re an American and you’re registered to vote: please vote on Tuesday. If you’re not registered yet, check to see if your state does same-day registration. If you don’t have a ride, check Uber and Lyft because they are doing free/discounted rides in many areas; if you’re worried about voter intimidation find a voting buddy. The ACLU has a lot of information on knowing your rights, so check their website if it’s a concern where you are. Find out the rules on provisional ballots and waiting in line (usually you’re allowed to vote so long as you got in line before the polls close, but double-check for your own area).
Vote the entire ballot! Check both sides (if it’s paper). If it’s electronic, double-check that you hit the buttons you intended.
If you’re not American but living in some sort of representative government, then you should vote on whatever your voting day is too!
For anyone else wondering if she ended up okay like I was, she ended up a little bit better. She deleted her reddit account but five years ago on the original post her friend commented linking to what happened here. If you follow the link to hereyou find out the memory loss was due to her being given the wrong medication due to malpractice. Apparently she came out of it with pretty bad memory problems (I would assume not quite as severe as before, but she mentioned doing therapy to learn new ways to store information.) and hearing loss.
