Who voted?

[starrieskies]

I vote by mail. But I dropped off my ballot in a drop box this morning.

[motzie]

I voted! It was my first time using the fill in bubbles and the scanner thingy. I got a sticker. Then I went to Target and bought chocolate chip frozen waffles. Winning!

[gault]

I voted!

This is on my old boss's facebook page, and why I loved her so so much.
"I enjoy watching the sheeple line up to cast a vote for candidates that have already been selected, bought and paid for by corporations that rule the planet. Thus perpetuating our continued broken system that is designed to enslave us all."

She's a snide, pompous dumbass. And doesn't do anything to, you know, change our broken system, but is fine with ridiculing everyone else.

LOL my BFF posted a very simlar status to your ex boss. I was SMH but at least he votes!

Did you barf on any ballots, Malibu?

And I hope you feel better soon!

I did not. Was glad the poll was across the street though. Was close to barfing in our shrubs but made it inside. Fun times.

Glad everyone is getting out and voting! Someone posted a link on ML that shows real-time voting stats that's pretty interesting.

My polling place is a block from my apartment. I'll be heading over after work.

I voted two weeks ago, during early voting. I got my sticker and everything.

I'm back from voting. I was able to drive home (about 20 minutes each way), vote, stop at McDonald's and grab lunch and drive back to work within an hour.

"Bonus" - at McDonald's some teenager catcalled at me and then immediately smacked into a closed door.

Apparently I'm looking good today.

We vote by mail here, dropped my ballot off at the library on Sunday. I'm sad we don't get stickers though. :-(

[smock]

Mmm, strongbow, you just gave me an idea of what to drink while watching election returns tonight.

[Muddled]

Me!

It was a slightly more ordered version of chaos.

[smock]

What was it like out there today, Muddled?

[Muddled]

My polling station was not bad compared to a lot of the stories I've heard, but the elections are a little different this year. Polling stations have been combined because of the storm. There is also an affadavit that allows you to vote if you are not in your district-specified station. There has been a lot of confusion because of that, even if your polling station isn't one of the few without power. A lot of the workers don't seem to know exactly what is going on or what to do with the affadavit votes. Some of them are fabulous, of course, but some of them should be fired on the spot. Add to all of this the fact that you have to go to at least 3 different stations in order to vote (new 2 years ago, so lots of people haven't made use of this system yet), and it's a little chaotic.

My polling station had 5 or 6 different election districts voting there. I was lucky to be headed to one of the 2 tables that didn't have a line out the door.

Wow that sounds like chaos!

[Muddled]

It could be worse. I could live in Florida.

Or Ohio. I hear Ohio has had some questionable things going on this year.

The people that run the polling stations are always old (like 70's and 80's). They are really slow and can't seem to take control of the lines that wind through hallways and doorways. It's usually chaotic. It was worse the last time I voted because I was in a different district and the location was cramped. Luckily I had to register which brought me to the front of the line!

[starrieskies]

Voting always reminds me of my grandma... she used to volunteer at the polls every year until she died a few years ago. I always remember because every once in a while election day falls on my birthday, and on those occasions she always called me the day after and apologized, I thought it was sweet.

Just got back and in took less than 15 minutes! I was number 00419. I also got a sticker!
