Go Vote!!!

[The1calledTKE]

Waiting in line was the only annoying thing about the election. The touch screen was very easy to use. I noticed a trend at my polling station. Old white people. Not many young or minorities voting.

[aephi alum]

How many of you have touch screens vs. lever machines? My district uses the old-fashioned lever ones, but I wish we had touch screens... in my booth, the levers were slightly offset from the names, so I almost voted for the wrong candidate!

LOL @ carnation's "it's just like your microwave"

People under 65 were minorities where I voted today. LOL. There were only 3 college-aged people (all female) there besides me, and the rest were a few 30 & 40-somethings & TONS of 70-somethings. I didn't vote last year b/c I was out of county at college, but I came back to my town today to vote so that next yr I can get an absentee ballot.

Tennesseans---Vote PHIL BREDESEN for Governer!!! (sp?)
Van Hillary is a weasle and a shmuck!!! (lol)

I'm registered as an Indy (independant), but for before next fall I want to change to Democrat (haha won't my grandparents & aunts & uncles think I'm a NUT!?) They're all hard-core Republicans--- my uncle paid $$$$$$$$$$ to have dinners with both Bush Sr. & Bush Jr. before. Can we say... "yawn!" ???

Oh yeah, and we had the touch-screen things.... interesting. I still got a lil confused, though, because this is the first time I've voted.

I am about to go vote Democrat. Barnes, Cleland, and Taylor are all safe with me. The only repulican I will probaby vote for is the insurance comisinor. He has done a great job so far.

Ohhhhh zntke, I wish I had seen your post earlier. Oxindine (sp?) has been taking MAJOR money from insurance lobbist and said it was "silly" when Cohen brought it up. For that reason alone I voted against him. Since when is conflict of interest silly??

But I'm still glad you voted. I did too!! BTW...regarding minority and young folks, do you think it was a function of the time of day or where you live? My precint had lots of young (20 somethings) and minorities. of course the fact that I live in a majority African American district probably had something to do with that one, but I was glad to see the younguns out in the rain no less!!

I couldn't figure out why the line was poking along and someone said that all the senior citizens were having issues with the touch screen voting. (Although I heard a departing woman scream to her friend in line, "You can do it, Mabel! It's just like your microwave!")

LOL--now that has got to be the funniest thing I've heard all day!

I'm going to our touch-screen center to vote after work tonight. Thank goodness the polls don't close until 8.

In PA- vote Rendell and Knoll!
We will FINALLY have a woman lieutenant governor, no matter if the dems or repubs when. Which is kind of sad in a way, PA's a little backwards.
If Rendell and Knoll (D) win (as they should, they've had a double digit lead the whole campaign), the first woman lt. gov. of PA will be Catherine Baker Knoll- who is also my third cousin! (my grandmother's first cousin- i think that makes her my 3rd cousin?). So I think that's pretty neat.

But if the Rep. win, Mike Fisher will be gov. His daughter is a KD, and is active in our alumnae association, also graduated from my law school two years ago and is working for a firm in Pittsburgh.

It's been a nasty gubernatorial battle in PA.....

[DWAlphaGam]

Woohoo for Democrats!

I'm going to vote tonight between work and school. If I recall correctly, we have touch-screens.

I live in a fairly Republican area, and there are always groups of Republican candidates that attack you as you walk in to vote. When I voted in the primary this past spring, a whole bunch of them came up to me and gave me all of these pamphlets before they bothered to ask me what party I was affiliated with. When I told them I was a Democrat, one of them said, "Well, that was a waste." I told her that I was sorry she felt that way and that she just guaranteed that I wouldn't be voting for any Republicans this fall!

For Californian voters, The Governers race, Gray Davis (democrat)is the lesser of the 2 evils. Sure he's made us in debt and the energy crisis was a huge fiasco but I rather have him than Bill Simon. That guy just annoys me. And plus he's a shister. I am voting after work today and voting Democratic. Where I live, its a bunch of small town blue-blooders, so its mostly republican. I swear my family is the only people in my town that are not racist, blue blooder freaks........

[Tom Earp]

Just got back from voting. Not many young people, but tons of minorities. I live in Queens, NY, though, we have a HUGE minority population. In fact, I had to follow signs in Chinese and Spanish to get to the door I needed!

Always makes me feel really good to vote, though. Definitely a privalige we should not take for granted.

Oh and we had the annoying levers. I'm always afraid I'm going to vote wrong...

[Silverblue]

Go, Carnation, and go, Mabel! That is hilarious! We have early voting where I live, so I voted a couple of weeks ago. My county leads the state in the percentage of early voters, which makes me proud. I voted a split ticket, too. I vote based on the issues.

[cash78mere]

i voted democrat the whole way down!

[Cluey]

I vote according to the issues, but I voted for Jeb. How else would I keep up with what George P. was up to? Just kidding! I love the Bush family, warts and all.
