^^^That's one of the reasons I refused to do it early.

Yeah, I missed my sticker. I'm still glad I did it early, though.

Our early voters get the stickers. I got mine.

Today's Polls and Final Election Projection: Obama 349, McCain 189

While it is still very important to everyone to get out and vote (after all most if not all states have other important matters on ballots) this is the
Today's Polls and Final Election edition from fivethirtyeight.com:

Today's Polls and Final Election Projection: Obama 349, McCain 189


"It's Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, Election Day in America. The last polls have straggled in, and show little sign of mercy for John McCain. Barack Obama appears poised for a decisive electoral victory.

Our model projects that Obama will win all states won by John Kerry in 2004, in addition to Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada, Florida and North Carolina, while narrowly losing Missouri and Indiana. These states total 353 electoral votes. Our official projection, which looks at these outcomes probabilistically -- for instance, assigns North Carolina's 15 electoral votes to Obama 59 percent of the time -- comes up with an incrementally more conservative projection of 348.6 electoral votes.

We also project Obama to win the popular vote by 6.1 points; his lead is slightly larger than that in the polls now, but our model accounts for the fact that candidates with large leads in the polls typically underperform their numbers by a small margin on Election Day..................................."

PLEASE-IF YOU HAVE NOT YET DONE SO, GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!
Too many other issues and matters on the ballots that are just as worthy of a vote.

I agree with your last part, but about the first...how could they call it this early? It isn't even 3 o'clock yet.

I think I've used 3 or 4 different types of ballots. Today, we used fill in the arrow. When I was in Pittsburgh I used the touch screen method. When I was in college I voted absentee, and then in my home town we had the booths with the lever.

I like to vote, no matter which way. I was excited all day as I waited for live-in to get home from work so we could vote together. I guess it was good we went together - he needed someone to vouch for his registration!

I always liked the punch ballots.

It looks like it will be over sooner than I thought.
