I'm voting today.Follow

I'm worried that knox and gbaji will brainwash me, so I'm just going to go ahead and get it out of the way. Has anyone else already voted, or plan to early?

I don't know why everyone doesn't, honestly.

Nexa

I'm working the polls on Nov 4th anyway so I may as well vote then.

Besides, what if Obama shanks you on Nov 3rd? You'll feel silly then.

You've obviously heard this said incorrectly.

"Shank me once, shame on... m-me.

....


You can't shank me again."

Get it right. :P

I can't vote early until October 15th, but I will be voting early.

The first one. The Illinois term is "Election Judge"

But you are better now?

Bummer, no idea of cause or cure yet?

This will be the first time I'll receive an early ballot. However, I'm somewhat facinated by the fact that there has been no debates yet and there will be a lot of folks doing just as Nexa says. I really would like to see a decent debate before I officialize my decision.

I don't vote because I don't know anything about any of the people I'd be voting for

Uneducated votes are worthless votes. They're about as meaningful as the results of a multiple-choice test wherein the test taker just blindly guesses all his answers.

Agreed. It just feels premature not to have seen at least one debate before casting my ballot. To top it off, I just saw this story and now it looks like we'll be waiting even longer. I'm sure the McCain camp would not be disappointed if they skipped the whole debate process entirely before the election. Then blame it on the Obama camp in a TV ad or something.

87% Barack Obama
44% John McCain

No surprise there, I guess.

I been too busy following the new blogs to check into when early voting is allow here. Not that I expect my vote to change the results here in Maryland. Been years since I actually had to stand in a line to vote.

This will be our last election with touch screen machines and no paper trail. All the money we paid for fancy Dibolt computer system and just used state wide for 2 elections cycles in 3 years. Baltimore City used them longer, but still had to buy newer machines since state wanted latest version when mandated rest of the local election boards buy them. I still miss the tall gray voter booths that would magically appear at the school, 2 days before an election.

Election judges kept forgetting how to turn them the computer polling machines on, so we get paper ballots and scanners to read them. Still will have problem finding enough people to man the polls and not mess up with the few hours of training they get. Maybe they need someone willing to bring them chocolate chip cookies, like my mom would have me bake, when she was an election judge.



In the US ME goes under the umbrella of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue. I find most people have no clue to what it is other then the fact that they see TV advertisements for a new medication just approved by the FDA. I then have to explain why I don't feel need to spend their tax payer money on a new formula of a medicine, I'm been on for the last 10 years.

Because, I feel this years election is too important this time to sit at home letting my blood boil at how stupid voters can be, I sign up to help in what small ways I can. I hope to do some more voter registration this weekend and then hand out literature on election day. Thankfully I can sit on a lawn chair and take my time to recover, as no one expects me to show up for therapy the next day. Still I wish I could stay awake and make it to one of the many parties around town, to watch the results come in. I haven't done any campaign work, for presidential election since I was 20. I do miss the victory parties.

Adults accept that that which affects others, does affect them when they try to live in a society.
