Day of reckoning, folks. Who's voting?

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 11:04 am

Not a Citizen. Should be voting in '08 though.

Not a citizen. You can still expect my insightful commentary though.

Just cast my ballot, which here in Loudoun County VA was remarkably simple.

In IL in 2000, and MO from '84-96, I got used to seeing dozens of various bond and tax issues to vote on, a gajillion state offices ("comptroller"?), assorted city councilpersons, school board members, judges, etc.

VA is an "off year" election state. So I guess if I'm still here in 06, I'll see a cluttery ballot. Today though: President, Congressman, one trivial state constitution amendment, and 2 local tax/bond issues. That's it. Took all of about 4 minutes to finish.

I was voter #263 in my sleepy burg.

I'll do it on my way home. My wife might actually vote too, which would be a first. (She's a Political Science major, too. I always make fun of her for that.)

It was the first thing I did today. Felt great!

I am!

On my way in about 20 minutes. My favorite thing on our ballot this year:

STATE QUESTION NO. 7
Amendment to the Nevada Constitution
Assembly Joint Resolution No. 3 of the 71st Session

Shall the Nevada Constitution be amended to change the provision that prohibits an “idiot or insane person” from voting to refer instead to “a person who has been adjudicated mentally incompetent, unless restored to legal capacity” and to repeal a provision relating to the election of United States Senators by the Legislature that was made obsolete by the adoption of the 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution?

Done, and it only made me 10 minutes late to work.

I'll be voting as soon as Neal gets home to go with me.

This will be the first presidential election I've voted in.

geezer · Post by **geezer** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 12:43 pm

done. in retrospect, I checked the box for a surprising number of libertarian candidates. Then again, I always thought voting for judges was kinda funky.

Dramatist · Post by **Dramatist** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 1:00 pm

I usually early vote as it's usually held across the street from where I work. But our courthouse is being renovated so eary voting is like 5 blocks away from where I work.

So I voted today.

Raug · Post by **Raug** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 1:02 pm

I'll be going to vote in about 2 hours.

It'll be the first time I have ever voted. I'm 20. See, we're not all too lazy.

Kelric · Post by **Kelric** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 1:03 pm

Haven't voted yet, waiting to go with my sister or my father since I have no idea where the polling place is. It used to just be in the town hall, but they moved it.

Does it count if you early voted?

It's actually pretty embarassing to admit that I've never voted before, but after 2000, I don't think anyone can say anymore that one vote can't make a difference. Especially since I was living in Florida in 2000 and would have voted for Gore if I'd voted. Lesson learned, and I'll be voting from now on.
