Clicky Poll: Voting

[mrs.jacinthe]

Clicky so you can remain anonymous.

I'm curious how this board trends versus the other boards.

I'm guessing this list is from the CA ballot? We only had four options. I let H vote for Gary Johnson since I feel good about PA =)

Were all these choices really on a ballot?? Roseann Barr? THE Roseann Barr? We only had Romeny, Obama, Stein, and Johnson on our ballot.

My friend (in CA) just posted a picture of his ballot and Roseanne is on it. Wow.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Yerp. THE Roseanne Barr (derp, I spelled it wrong up in the poll). She's running with the Peace and Freedom Party.

Yes, all of these choices were on various ballots, although not every state, apparently. CA had something like 8 people on the ballot.

Wow, you learn something knew... I always thought that the Presidentally stuff was identical for everyone and just the state/local stuff varied.

Ok...who are the 3 non-voters?! You'd better be Canadians or something.

I judge.

We had 5 in VA, who's my other Johnson voter out there?

Me! Though I'll admit if I was in a swing state I probably would not have gone 3rd party.

This makes sense, we usually agree on debates like this.

If you had to vote for Romney or Obama who would you have gone for?

Obama. I see them as equally useless on the economy (in that I don't think either of them can or will do what they say they're going to do. I don't think either of them have any intention of balancing the budget. Romney won't touch defense. Obama doesn't have the balls to touch Medicare and SS.), and they both piss me off on stuff like drone strikes and gitmo and the patriot act, Obama slightly edges out Romney on the rest of foreign policy for me (though the debate showed that they really aren't that different there either) - so they're pretty neck and neck up to that point - and then I'm really really strongly pro-LGBT equality and pro-choice, so romney loses me there. Well....current Romney loses me. Romney in MA was fine with those things apparently, so who the hell knows what Romney the Dude actually thinks. Romney the GOP presidential candidate is anti-LGBT equality and pro-life so that's what i have to go by.

Can I just say that last night I felt like my presidential vote was worthless and didn't matter in the least? Being on the west coast sometimes sucks! They called Ohio only about an hour after the polls closed here.

Ok, frustrations out and moving on now.

[floridakat]

I'm so embarassed to be from Florida today, and it's at least in part because more than SEVEN THOUSAND people voted for Roseanne Barr for president. Really???
