Did you vote?

[Stacy's a freak]

Yup - this morning before work at about 7:45 a.m. The line only took about 10 minutes which is awesome! But I live in a pretty small town ... I can't imagine living in a big city and having to wait hours on/in line

That is strange we had the same wait time lol! Glad to hear your little one was so good. I was so impressed with how well behaved all the kids were today! Two+ hours is a really long time for a child and I never heard one complaint! That shows great kids and great parenting!

Voted last night.

Just got home from work/voting. It took a grand total of 22 minutes from exiting my car to re entering it. Only about 10 minutes longer than normal. Our ballots we full of city ordinances that most people didn't know about, so there was a slight line. Nothing horrendous.

I voted this afternoon when I got off work. There wasn't many people there but several came in when I was about to leave. The pollsters said they were having one of their best turnouts ever.

We got the day off today so I wanted to go early enough to beat the rush. The lines were not very long. It took about 30 minutes total.

This is the first Presidential election that my oldest DS was able to vote in. He was a little skeptical given the events of the 2000 election. But I told him that it's better for hm to make his voice heard than to stay silent on the sidelines. Seeing him in the voting booth was awesome!!! I'm a very proud Mama!!!

I vote in every election. I always bring DD with me. She is now 14. I can't believe she'll be voting in the next Presidential election. Gosh, I'm getting old! We'll vote after school.




Hmmm, I don't think I know...

Being a NYer, my votes likely not going to count but I'll be casting it anyway.

Oh My gosh, we said the same thing about our DD14 last night. Scary isn't it? I can't believe the next time I walk in to vote for president she will be signing in for real too!

Also, I too am in NY and while I've been told my vote wouldn't count or matter, there is no way I could tell my DH who fought (and was partly disabled becasue of it) for my right to do so that I wasn't going. PLUS, if enough of us go, you never know!

I also wanted to say that I love seeing the lines. DH went at 6:45 and was the 40th person to vote. ot too bad, I wnet at 9:30 ish and was number 52. I couldn't believe so few had been there. I was thinking most will come after work, and maybe they are, but we were outside when the neighbors left to vote. They were gone about 5 minutes, literally. We live under a minute from the place, but still, there was nobody thre and that was after work! I like seeing the lines, I don't like to wait but I do like seeing so many turning out!

We voted around 10:45 am and I got ballot number 515 from our precinct.

There were two precincts in our polling place and our district had the longer line. I did notice that the lines were getting longer as we were leaving.

That's good to hear, I guess maybe we had lots of people eel that in NY it doesn't matter, be it that it isn't needed to win or it won't swing it your way. Either way, I always vote, I tell my friends who don't that if you don't vote you can't complain!
BTW, my grandparents live in Michigan (Plymouth). I used to cheer sometimes in Ypsi!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Yes, I voted on Halloween. It took me 5-1/2 hours, but I did place my vote.

 

[CHES94]

Yup early voted on a new fangled electronic box

 

[princess&her4princes]

Yep!! Voted here!!!!

 

[Tonya2426]

I voted!!! Took only about 2 minutes since we use fancy touch screen - very easy to use. The longest part is when the poll worker has to look up my name.

 

[maiziezoe]

Yep! I voted!

I've been voting since 1988... this is the first time that I've been able to vote in short and flips flops! The weather in Illinois is AMAZING! I vote for more days like this!

 

[disneymom8589]

Ummm....is that even fair? M&M's are going to win by a landslide, personally I consider Skittles a third party candidate!
Really though, that is a very cute idea!

Believe it or not, Skittles won pretty handily!!

 

[BobWerner]

I voted and I voted against Marxism.

 

[M&M's]

I feel cheated...we got Dunkin Donuts free coffee after voting (and a donut), but I would have preferred Starbucks!

That's funny. I got my free coffee from Starbucks, but would have much preferred Dunkin Donuts.

Believe it or not, Skittles won pretty handily!!

I'm M&M's and even I would have voted Skittles!

Edit: Sorry Kevin, John, and Pete. It looks like Florida is going to revert back to a ban on gay marriage. My question is why do people care about this? It does not effect anyone else in any way. Homophobia and ignorance reigns. Hopefully my daughter's generation will be more open and understanding.

 

[Kaler131]

I just want to say....Yea Obama!!!!
