I voted today

I voted today, and you'll never guess who I voted for.

I did get two votes for congress. The tea party incumbent did not have a Democrat running against him, so my wife and I both wrote in my name (or at least she said she did ). Sorry, BH, I couldn't bring myself to cast the ballot for the Libertarian, who was the only other name on the ballot for congress.

I know that our votes will make no electoral difference in this red state, but maybe we did our part in avoiding the situation where Obama would win the electoral college but lose the popular vote.

Regards,

D-Ray

I voted yesterday. It was easy. I just went to this liberal website and cast my vote for everyone and everything they told me to.

Hi Don, Patty early voted last week. She's a volunteer pollworker this time out, (kudos to my precious better half!) I'm waiting for election day, myself. I want to see if any of those sh*t fer brains self appointed pollwatchers show up in my precinct. Orange County, California has a long history of dirty politics with these scum coming out in Latino areas to coerce the vote. The Orange Co. Republicant party has been sued & lost over this behaviour. I'll have the FEC and the Police on speed dial if I see anything out of the ordinary.

I will vote on election day

I feel it in the air...the Mittster is going down. I think it will be like when people walked into a booth in 1980 and just could not vote for Carter. I do not think people in their hearts want Mitt Romney that much.

We can vote early here, just never looked into it. Like the feel of going down on election day and enjoying the show and all.

As to Romney going down in flames, I just have a gut felling it going to be a nasty one. Like the fix is in sorta thing. He will use the polling to justify the results.

I'm registered to vote by mail. I Get an envelope in the mail containing my ballot (optical scan IBM cards for optical scanners). I can either fill them out and mail them back any time after I get them or submit them at a polling station.

I was thinking about taking them to the polls to see whether anyone messed with me or anyone else but this is Lynne Woolsey's and Dan Ellsberg's home town..........

Just returned from voting with the wife. Number 84 and 5 when normally in the 20's. Seem like the turnout was higher to me. Higher then in 2008 and the parking lot was so full people were waiting.

Plus they had a few voters that their polling place was changed . Add to that nobody could help them out either.
