Either that or they have to let you out a couple hours early.

i don't know what the specific law is here but we got this email yesterday at work. i completely screwed the pooch by telling my boss i voted on saturday. i could have been sitting on my couch eating bon bons and wiping smeared mascara from my tears of joy as they read exit polls in swing states.
Hello:
Given tomorrow’s voting participation is projected to have the highest turnout ever you can expect long lines at your local voting location. For those that plan on voting before work, I recommend arriving to your voting destination by 7:00am.
Before you leave tonight, please let either your supervisor or myself know if you’re planning to vote in the morning or after work. I want to ensure we’ll have adequate office coverage in the morning – if there are long lines at the polls. Depending, on our collective voting schedule, some may need to leave before 5:00pm to vote after work.
Thank you,
