Barring that I forgot something, I am going to vote. ;p Lenlalron Flameblaster fucked around with this message on 11-02-2004 at 12:57 PM.
But, as I heard and saw more about the race for president, the less I could think about voting for either one of them. It's important, but I can't help but feel that none of them deserve to be president. I still can't decide on who to vote for.
What's worse, I realized the other day that I've only been worrying about the presidental race. I have no idea what else is on the ballot in my area. I know about the gambling issues they're voting on over the river in Omaha, but I have no idea what's going on over here.
I might change my mind, but I don't think I'm going to be voting today. It's not that I don't want to, but what the hell's the point of basically voting at random?
Still, I feel like a worthless turd for not voting. I might change my mind, go out, and vote anyway.

VOTE'D!That was suprisingly painless. I noticed that there was both a Democratic and Republican challenger present. They were chatting about how they couldn't wear party-specific shirts that day.
I don't think we had any observers. But I live in an area just a few steps from hick-town level.

Mine did, actually, which is nice, because I planned to vote straight Green. This was the first election I've been eligible to vote in, and I have to say it feels pretty good.
There was a steady flow of people at my polling place, but not really much waiting; they seemed to be running things quite efficiently.
Reports are indicating a heavy turnout overall.

Yes
I opted to not take a sticker. I guess I'm a commie.

wow...Indy had Libertarian candidates for just about everything.
The only one we had besides president was a US Senator IIRC.
It was fairly painless...it felt weird being a young voter. Most of the people there were well into their 50s (being generous here, they were pretty old). Still, it felt good to get out and do it.
Hopefully my vote can make a difference.

Addy came out of the closet to say:
Someone in my class said there's about a 73% voter turn out so far. How false is this?
Before the polls opened today, everyone was expecting around 50% turnout, but it's been extremely heavy beyond expectations. Some districts in Florida, for instance, are estimating around 80% turnout -- I don't think it's known how much that applies to the rest of the country.

NC Senator - only a democrat canidate
NC Rep- Only democrat
Someone Else - Only Democrat
Quite a few Libertarians canidates on the ballots here too. President/VP of course, but also US senator, US rep, Gov., Leuit. Gov., and a few others.

Just go to CNN.com and punch in your zip code. They've got full cheat sheets for what's on the ballots in the vast majority of the country.
I'm going to have to make good use of that in the future. But, alas, one day is not enough time to decide such issues. Thanks for the info though, that is cool.
Oh well, not like my Democratic vote was going to change anything in Texas. Still pisses me off though.

Is it kinda wrong that we had to vote in a church?
I voted in the temple where my mom works (as a librarian). I commented that it was mildly discriminatory against vampires.
I was the only one there though...but then, I was voting at about 2:30 so that's not too surprising.
