i voted....

[warren0728]

ok all you u.s. fretters....have you voted or are you going to...



man i love being able to vote during off-peak hours....i was in and out in less than 20 minutes! :beer:

....on a light note....after i got my ballot (only took 5 minutes) and was waiting my turn for a booth....i asked a young lady sitting in a chair if it was busier earlier and she put her finger to her mouth and shook her head....one of the other ladies said she wasn't allowed to talk....so i asked if she had been bad and was in time-out....got a pretty good laugh from the people around me

i guess she was some sort of "observer" to watch for problems....

I was the 66'th person to vote on the S-Z line at 6:20am this morning.

We voted on Saturday. It was relatively painless. We waited just under an hour on line, much less than I thought we would have to with it being a Saturday and the last weekend of early voting.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

We vote this afternoon after my daughter's parent teacher conference.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I'm in. I always enjoy voting, and enjoy joining my neighbors as we all state our choices.

P.S. You Floridians, keep it fair down there now!

 

[SuperSwede]

Since we dont talk politics on this forum I cannot say which young black man I would vote for if I lived in the US.

 

[bigoldron]

Haven't voted yet, but will go either at lunch or after work. The bad thing is that the voting place is right outside my neighborhood exit. I didn't stop this morning, because it was packed with cars lined up on both sides of the road.

You betcha:rockon:

You're kinda pushing the boundaries aren't you?

 

[marnold]

My wife and I voted this morning. One advantage of living in a small town is that I could stroll in, get my ballot, vote, and stroll out in less than five minutes.

SS, you probably could vote in Chicago or Florida.

 

[Childbride]

we've both voted.

 

[luvmyshiner]

Voted last week during early voting. Took a total of five minutes.

 

[just strum]

Undecided - I'll make up my mind when I get in the booth. Also bringing a coin with me - just in case.

 

[evenkeel]

Just voted!!! No lines, in and out in about 10 mnutes. Easy walk from the condo. Pretty efficient. Hard to believe I can say that about Florida!!

FWIW we much prefer to vote on election day. Like the whole going to the poll, stand in the booth thing. Just seems more connected to the process.

 

[piebaldpython]

Voting

Mrs. PBP and Baby Cobra will be voting in an hour or so. I will vote after work. Other STATES early voting is a foreign idea to us in Philly. We have absentee ballots but not early voting.

i agree....voting on election day just seems like the thing to do....some friends waited in line for 2 hours to vote early....i vote on election day and it takes less than 20 minutes.... :thwap:

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Ditto. I was tempted to hop over from the courthouse to the county admin building when I was at court the last couple of times, but decided I wanted to join the majority of the voters on election day.

In the past I have always voted on election day. The reason I chose to do early voting this time around is that I cannot afford to miss any work time, and there is no guarantee how long or short the process will take on any given day. I can not even get back and forth from my polling place to my job in my half hour lunch time let alone wait on line and cast a vote. Voting early on a Saturday allowed me not to have to worry about that. Personally, I think election day should be a paid federal holiday so everyone can have time to vote and not be concerned about missing work, but that's another issue altogether.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

As city government employees we get 2 hours off to vote. Depends on your work schedule though.

 

[Childbride]

voting early for us is 'greener'. both of us can walk from our respective offices to the county court annex. else we have to drive across town.

also more convenient, also saves missing work.

but i also understand the desire to be part of the big day.

I guess city government leadership understands the fast, efficient government run electoral process, hence the two hours. oke:

Just voted at lunch - in and out in 5 minutes.

 

[Glacies]

I'm certainly going to be glued to the TV tonight. Debating staying up to see who gets it. *Also debating on getting sloppy drunk to deal with whoever gets it.

*hope that's not too political

 

[Spudman]

I voted.
The elderly lady that has been working elections forever said it was the longest line she had ever seen at the poll opening. There were 15 of us.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

.......*Also debating on getting sloppy drunk to deal with whoever gets it.

LMAO I planned on doing the very same thing. hahahaha :beer:

Oh, so you are a socialist!

 

[aeolian]

Oregon has vote by mail. I got my ballot about 2 and a half weeks ago. From that time on there are ballot boxes at the libraries and other locations. I filled mine out a week ago and dropped it off at my local library which is about a half a mile from my house.

As of yesterday it was reported that more than half of the voters have turned in their ballots.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

I don't know if all states are voting for judges or not but I'm at a loss as to what to do about the "shall so and so be retained as such and such Judge".

I don't know any of these judges. I wouldn't know how to vote. What do you guys do about these questions? This is of course asking in generic terms. What would you do if you don't know anything about such posts?

:rotflmao: Ok so if your friend voted them in then it's my turn to vote them all back out again. Whew thanks for all your help my friend that's a relief!

I typically get a copy of the ballot ahead of time, either online or because my mother in law, who is blind, votes via absentee ballot. I then will do as much research as I can online to see what kinds of decisions these judges made and then vote accordingly. I also am lucky in that my closest friend is a professor of Political Science at USF so I usually consult him as well about anything on the ballot about which I am uninformed or just don't understand. When still in doubt, I do what Warren does and vote against them all.
