Voted last night. I was hoping that voting in favor of recreational pot would help me get through the rest of the election. Alas, it does not take effect until after, which does me no good.
Voted this evening. I asked a poll worker if it would break any laws if I didn’t put on the “I voted” sticker until tomorrow. She was cool with it, but this is Illinois and I’ve come to expect slackness like that from poll workers.
Rigged!
voted for Hillary at the top of the ticket, but Republicans on the rest of the ballot. I struggled to not vote for Trump. I like that he’s a slap in the face to the SJW movement, and wants to lower Muslim immigration, but because he just says shit a little too often, as well as his general lack of discipline, I just couldn’t vote for him. He does seem to lack respect for our imperfect but better-than-the-others political system.
As I’ve said before, I started out a Democrat, but Obama and the base have moved far left on social issues and foreign policy, and its made me sad to see the moderates, like Hillary, have to accommodate this. I think Hillary will work far better with the GOP in Congress than Obama, just like Bill did. I want the 1990s DLC Democrats back because I generally still can’t buy into conservative views on pre-marriage abstinence, banning abortion, and trashing the environment. But should microaggressions, implicit -isms, and hating Israel go any further among the party faithful, next election, its gonna be all GOP.
Once again, your views about Obama and the party in general (especially “hating Israel”) do not jive with reality.
If they do not jive with reality, then that means you think they are being truthful, so you think he does hate Israel? 
Oops. I meant “jibe”, not “jive”.
Voted yesterday. (Straight Dem)
They were not handing out “I voted” stickers. Obviously, I wasted my time yesterday! What a rip! 
My early-voting location ran out of stickers early yesterday.
I work in IT (in data systems in particular). I think electronic voting is a bad idea.
I got my paper absentee ballot yesterday and put it in today’s mail. It’s kinda neat that I can go on a Web site and view its status (request received, mailed, received, etc).
I’m an independent. I did not vote for any ® candidates.
Just voted. Was in and out of the voting hall in maybe 7 minutes.
Wife and I completed our Colorado mail-in ballots last Saturday night (we party), and dropped them off early Sunday morning.
We both voted straight D on national, state and local offices. Our incumbent Senator, Michael Bennet (D), is heavily favored for reelection, and our Congressman, Jared Polis (D) is barely opposed.
Important ballot measures:
[ul]
[li] Amendment 69 (Single-Payer Healthcare) No. I sympathize with the goal, but I’m not sure either the structure of it or the funding mechanism (10% tax on virtually all income) are fully thought through. Also, I think it may make Colorado less competitive–I’d prefer a national single-payer or public option plan. [/li][li] Amendment 70 (Increase Minimum Wage) Yes. It’s a modest increase, phased in over several years.[/li][li] Amendment 71 (Distribution Requirement for Citizen Initiatives) No. I loathe the citizen initiative process as an abrogation of representative government. But I’d rather eliminate it entirely than hand more power to heavily funded backers. At least with the current system, real grassroots initiatives can get through the process.[/li][li] Amendment 72 (Tobacco Tax) No. Regressive.[/li][li] Prop 106 (Assisted death) Yes. [/li][li] Prop 107/108 (Removing restrictions on primary voting) No. I think parties get to pick their candidates. If you’re not a member, you don’t get a say. Everyone gets to vote in the general.[/li][/ul]
My daughter voted absentee from college out-of-state. The process was very well run–she got texts when the ballot was mailed to her and when they received it back after she voted. My son changed his registration to vote in Denver, where he’s a freshman at DU. Both of them beat their parents to completing and returning ballots, so we know procrastination is not hereditary. Both also voted straight-ticket D. Don’t know what they did on the ballot measures, though they did ask us a couple of questions. This is the first Presidential election for which they are eligible to vote (daughter voted in the 2014 midterms). Proud of them for taking the responsibility seriously.
Voted yesterday in person. 6 minutes in and out.
My county is one of the 21 in Utah where ballots are mailed and can either be mailed back or dropped off. I took my time to read about the ballot measures and on the candidates I didn’t already know about. Mailed it back a week ago.
I could have voted straight ticket Democrat, but I wanted to go out of my way to fill in the oval for Misty Snow and post a picture of it on her Facebook so she knows she has support in more than just Salt Lake City. As much as she’s put herself out there in a potentially inhospitable environment I felt she deserved to see it.
Illinois – voted this morning. There were 2 people in front of me in line. A woman in front of me asked if they’d had hundreds of voters already. The election judge said yes, then thought a moment and said, “Maybe more than a thousand.” This was at my local city hall – my community has about 45,000 residents. (But you don’t have to live in Elmhurst to vote here – anyone in Dupage can vote at any early polling place.)
Same woman (I think) told another election judge, “The sky is Cubbie blue today!”
Anyway, I voted straight Dem. Didn’t vote in any race that had a Republican running uncontested. There were no races that had a Dem running uncontested.
I voted against the referendum to prevent using money earmarked for roads for other purposes. Voted for the referendum to consolidate mosquito control efforts across the township – it’s supposed to save tax dollars, but we’ll see.
Voted against the state constitutional amendment to take the power of setting their own salary from the legislature and give it to a newly established independent commission. Sure, more people to pay, more possible corruption. Thanks ‘small government’ Republicans! But NO THANKS.
Voted for six women and one man. Hillary, Angie Craig (Congress), state supreme court associate justice, state house and 2 city councilwomen. The last was a ‘pick 2’ deal where they don’t list party affiliation, but I’m pretty happy with my city. The lone man was my state senator.
Voted last Saturday. Minimal lines and no wait here in Northern VA.
Voted for Hillary/Kaine
Congresscritter was running unopposed but I like him so threw him a vote (although I am still convinced he is the frontrunner for Kaine’s Senate seat which means my vote means less than the nothing it would otherwise mean)
No on right to work/kill all unions
No on waiving property tax for survivors of first responders killed in the line of duty (a protest vote since I don’t think that the correct way to show respect or support is to waive property taxes but since both sides support it there’s no question it’s passing)
Yes on the meal tax (I’m the other one,Typo Knig)
Yes on all the bond issues because WTH, let’s have decent roads, schools and parks
Early voted two weeks ago in DeKalb County, Georgia.
Hillary, natch.
Barksdale for Senate, for purely symbolic reasons - he doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance, and Isakson’s … tolerable. Better than that sleazy bastard Saxby Chambliss, anyway.
John Lewis for Congress. I’m kinda ready for new blood, but the seat is his as long as he wants it.
Democrats for state senator and representative.
No on state takeover of failing schools, which is just a sneaky way to get more charter schools, and would almost certainly be applied primarily to majority-African-American schools.
Yes to the Safe Haven amendment, which focusses mainly on sex trafficking and exploitation of children. Unfortunately, Atlanta is a major center for that trade.
No on reforming the Judicial Qualifications Commission; this amendment is a pretty blatant attempt to bring an independent oversight body under the control of the state Lege. Given some of the yahoos under the Gold Dome, this seems to me a supremely bad idea.
Yes to allocating tax revenue from firework sales to trauma care. We only have two Level One trauma care hospitals in Georgia. We could do with more.
Democrats for county CEO, Sheriff, Tax Commissioner, Superior Court Clerk. But the perennial question arises again: how the hell do I know who’s qualified to be a tax commissioner or soil district commissioner? Only Dems running for most of these offices, since I’m in one of the bluer counties in my state, so it’s all kinda moot.
Wrote in Evan McMullin; he’s not on the ballot in Texas.
Voted against a $720 million bond measure; it’s too steep a cost for repairing highways and roads, IMHO. I’m all for better roads but that is too steep in and around this locality.
Saw many names I couldn’t recognize and left some blank and unvoted-on.
I really like the voting machines here.
Saxby Chambliss sounds like the name of a used car dealer wearing a loud plaid sports coat.
