<--- voted.... :d (just got back).


Yep.. Ickie wasnt on any of our voting options in Arizona either...



<---- dodges the frisbee :kilroy:
 
I waited until this afternoon to vote. No line, I just walked at 3pm signed my name and was escorted to the booth. Took all of 2 minutes to cast my ballot electronically. Beside, half the candidates here in my area of Delaware were running unopposed.

And, I saw no place for write-ins or a place to select "None of the Above". :banghead:
 
About 90 minutes here today. I have never seen the polls this busy in my life, ever. I guess even if my candidates should lose tonight, it was a beautiful thing to see this nation's citizens involved today. :running:

Really glad to hear you exercised your right today instead of not doing so, Bill! :applause:
 
I report that I have performed my civic duty :unitedsta:
Walked right up to the table, no wait :d
 
I always vote, big election or small. Got a question. Shouldn't we make election days a holiday or, failing that, have it on a Saturday to enable as many people as possible to vote?
 
If you make it a holiday or hold the elections on a weekend, how many will pass on voting in favor of other pursuits?
 
Crowd was out early, I went at 9:30 Am and waited all of ten minutes to vote in less than 1 minute. Only four people and no issues on the ballot on VA. Quick and painless.

Bill, always vote! I don't care for either of the major contenders, I am a Libertarian, because they follow the political tenets that I hold most true. Both of the majors are wishy-washy and when all's said and done, a lot more will be said than will be done! So it is my right and my duty as a "free" American to cast a dissenting vote against the Democrats and Republicans, neither of whom approach the origional meaning of the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers.

But I am truly an independent voter. I voted for a Democrat (Mark Warner) for Congress and Vergil Goode (a Republican-Independant) for the House. The only other name on our ballot was for county treasurer.

I still think Jimmy Stewart would have made a great President. Honest, hard working, and a true American hero.

i'm not in the states, and won't be for at least a year. no voting for me.

one thing i find interesting is how rabid canadians are for american politics.
it's all anyone has talked about here for the last year almost.
they had elections here and they were barely covered in the papers. what was printed was on page 2 & 3, because american election stuff was page 1, and has been since the beginning.

i have to admit though, when i hear folks talking about it in the gym, it gets on my nerves. i want to say to them "hey, what do you know about being an american?" they talk about american politics and american issues and american life, and they (the ones i am speaking of) know nothing about us first hand. some of them have never been there, i have heard them say it.
i want to tell them if they concentrated on making their own country run better maybey they wouldn't pay the government 60% of their wages in taxes. but instead, i just do another set and move on....:banghead:
Click to expand...

I can tell them all about American life when I move up there if a certain candidate wins, LOL :banghead:

Voted early for a change. Really amazed with who I have talked to of how many have no clue where the candidates stand and voting straight party tickets, unbelievable! :isadizzy:
 
It's too bad we didn't have a two party ticket in the 2008 Presidential election. We had a moderate Democrat and a left-winged liberal Democrat. No choice for the conservatives. :banghead:
