What exactly are you guys voting for?

[xke4]

Why are there people in lines for whole days? Don't you just go in, confirm your identity and vote? Is this the time that the dog catcher, sheriff etc are voted for as well? Took me all of 2 minutes to vote for Prime Minister this fall! And that included the chit chat at the check-in desk because the gentleman behind the desk recognized my husband's last name as someone (my FIL) he went to school with 50 years ago!!!

It's just the massive amount of people voting, I think. The unexpected voter turnout is backing things up. I would assume having to explain the process to the tons and tons of first-time voters is slowing things up a little, too.

I plan to bring my Nintendo DS with me tomorrow so that I can study Japanese while in line.

There are a few things on the ballot, I'm hoping it doesn't take too long tomorrow.

Might be those people who are voting twice.

It's happening here by the hundreds. They should be arrested.

Everyone in Oregon votes by mail.
I dropped my ballot off this morning at the city hall ballot box.
I spent about an hour yesterday going over measures and some of the regional issues I needed to decide on

I hope that everybody thinks a lot tonight, and makes the right decision for our country. For the first time there is a candidate that I worry about what will happen to our country if he gets in.

Here in Maryland, we are also voting for our next congressperson, 3 sets of judges, 2 state constitutional amendments (one on allowing slot machines), bond bills to fund libraries, public safety, county building construction, transportation and college facilities. There is also referendums on a telecommunications sales tax and a clarification of time of notification for public hearings. Even if I know what I am going to do by heart when I walk into the booth, I am still going to read each of these one more time to make sure I am sure.

This should take me less than 5 minutes, assuming nothing goes wrong.

I voted "heck no", "you bet", "no way Jose", "YES!!", and a few "maybes".
