Oh, yeah, baby! After work! Fortunately I live in a very teeny town and the lines are never bad. Even for the Presidential in 2004 I stood in line for mayby 20 minutes total.
I’m going to vote on my way home from work.
Not in a house divided if you count the household I live in, but I am in one if you count my birth family (parents are Republicans, I’m a Democrat). We do what we do on most subjects on which we don’t agree- we don’t talk about it. Mr. Neville got mailings from the Republican party before last year’s election, and I gave him a hard time about it
-
No, I am not voting. I suck and couldn’t get my shit together in time to get an absentee ballot.
-
Yes, I usually vote, and I’m feeling very guilty. I’m comforting myself by reminding myself that neither of my senators is up for reelection this time, and my representative will win easily, and the only thing worth voting for is governor and I couldn’t make up my mind: retarded Democrat or moderate Republican? I dunno.
You’re slightly confused. The actual rule is “you have no right to complain if you voted for the people who won.”
Oh, no you’re not. As I told a coworker, I think of this as my chance to fire the government! I tend to walk around with a big stupid grin on Election Day!
Voted on the way in this morning. No surprises, we’ve had these machines for a couple of years.
I always vote, even if it’s only a local bond issue or school-board thing on odd-years. It marks the last day of my chosen hunting season, so I usually have the day off anyway.
I live in a purple state, so everyone is out of place around here…
-
Yes. I voted first thing this morning. Took about 20 minutes - there was a very good turnout at the polling place for 7:45.
-
Yes. I always vote. Even if it’s just for a local bond referendum. If there’s an election, I vote in it, and have since 1972. I always get good feeling when I exercise my franchise, even if I know my candidate is the proverbial sacrificial lamb.
I agree that cats should be allowed to vote. They should use the voting machines with the levers for them, because they’d be so cute pushing the levers with their paws.
I’ve voted in most major elections (ie, ones where some sort of national office is at stake, or one where there are propositions) since I was old enough. The most obvious exception was the recall election in 2003, because I put off re-registering to vote for too long after Mr. Neville and I moved in together when we got married.
-
Voting after work. I hope the lines aren’t too long.
-
Not consistently. I’ve voted in every even-year national election, and I voted in the 2004 primary, but nothing else. I don’t feel I have a good enough handle on the local politics to vote in odd-year elections. I think that will change though, once I’ve lived in the city for awhile longer.

My boyfriend is voting for the Republican (currently 35 points down) for Governor as a protest vote, and I’m voting for the Green Party for Governor as a protest vote, but other than that we’re all on the same page (pretty much straight Democratic, even though I don’t like the Democrats). My father is a Republican but I think he is voting mostly Democrat this time.
Just voted at lunch. They took away my ker-chunk machine, and New Jersey is apparently too cool to hand out stickers.
I’ve voted in every presidential election I’ve been able to, but sometimes I miss the gubernatorial and Senate races. The last couple years, I’ve taken much more of an interest. Oddly enough ( :rolleyes: ), it coincided with my mother retiring and getting more involved with volunteering for any Democratic candidate who needed help–she makes sure I vote to cancel out my Republican brother.
I voted Libertarian in the gov. race, and it’s a protest vote as well. I also refused to vote for either Melissa Bean or David McSweeny because of the ads that they ran and went with Bill Scheurer as my representitive, and he’s listed as from the Moderate Party. Yay 3rd parties!
I voted first thing this morning. I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Feinstein this time, so I voted Peace & Freedom as a protest.
I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18. It’s just What You Do.
California voters: anyone else have a weird machine sitting on top of the ballot box? This is new to me, anyone know what it’s all about?
I voted at 10:00 this morning. The turnout today is really heavy. The line snaked through the school library and out into the hall. The poll workers said it had been like that since 6:00 am. There was a light mist falling outside.
I always vote; I only missed once.
Sen. Richard Lugar is such a lock, the Democrats didn’t even field an opponent to him. I voted for the Libertarian; he won’t win, but if he gets enough votes, his party can skip a step in getting on the ballot next time.
Gosh, I hope it’s not a shredder. :eek:
Voted yesterday. Didn’t get a sticker. My husband is still pouting about it.
I hope all of the political telephone calls will be made worth it today.
No, I moved back in May and then started a new job and was spending all my waking hours helping plan a wedding up until about a month ago, so re-registering at my new adress was completely was not on my mind until about a week ago.
Voted by absentee a couple weeks ago. Vote in all elections. In Mich another billionaire wants to be gov.Can’t have that.
Just voted. Generally do so every election. Voted all Democrat except for Philadelphia City Council; I hate the machine that runs this town.
I live alone, so my house is a monolith of unity.
Had to hold my nose when I voted for Casey, though. The best thing I can say about him is that he isn’t Santorum.
I voted last week and avoided the rush.
And I always vote, come hell or high water.
I voted during early voting and it was my first time I have been eligible to vote. I unfortunately missed the presidential election by less than three months. (was too young)
After doing my research I voted Kinky Friedman for governor and then straight democratic for everything else.
