Re: VOTE!

Just got back from the polls. 10 minute wait. Easy as pie and I had the cheesiest grin on my face as I left the building. There's something really cool about having the right to vote and exercising that right, don't you think?

Re: VOTE!

Got up at 5:40am to vote, usually get up much later than that for work (yay short commute). I waited 5 minutes, brothers who were oddly in a different district waited another 30 minutes. In and out quickly. Voted no on provision 6, yes on 5, and voted to increase taxes to pay public schools. As for president, take a guess.

After that hit up Bob Evans with said brothers then went to work. Great day so far.

What's cool is exercising that right as a family. My family decided to take advantage of the early vote a couple of Sundays back and went together to vote. Entering the polls with my adult children and my husband was a moment I will always treasure and never forget or take for granted.

Re: VOTE!

I was in line at 6:30am and out the door at 7:50. Thats pretty good here in Florida. I agree with everyone that says there is something about voting in an actual machine at your precincnt. Half my neighborhood was in attendance and it became a big party. The thing that made me the proudest was watching my son and my best friends son cast their first presidental ballots.

Then we went to Chick fil A and got free chicken sandwiches!!!!!

Re: VOTE!

I voted in the building right next to SNHU, where Kickoff is held. They were already out of "I voted" stickers.

And Art, I heart those old CT voting machines! Filling a bubble just isn't as satisfying as sliding that massive lever over to the left.

Re: VOTE!

Don't forget to vote in non-presidential years and primaries -- they count, too!

I was voter #80 at ~ 8:00 am today, about 20 people in the room. Last election, I was voter #29 at 5:30 pm, no other voters in the room. That election, on the page of about 20 names where I had to sign in, not a single other voter (except my husband) had signed or requested an absentee ballot. Also that election, one of the local candidates in a neighboring district won by 1 vote.

Your votes matter even more in years that "don't seem to matter as much."

I rode my old Schwinn over to the fire station and cast my ballot. It's a nice warm sunny day here.

Re: VOTE!

On my way into the polling place (a local school), several of the local runners were there. I managed to ask them a few questions, which made me much more comfortable with my vote.

Also, fastest/friendliest voting ever.

NH politics for the win.

Re: VOTE!

I voted!

This morning the line was around the building, I came back after lunch and walked right in.

Voting is extremely important. In a country that has historically promoted democracy it is important to set a good example.

I'm Dan Richardson and I approve this message.

Agreed, it is one of the most important things an American can do IMO

Re: VOTE!

Done and done. I woke up at 6:30, and it took three attempts--the first two times, the line was out of the local church's door, around the corner, and growing. I went on in to work, got out early, and caught a break: no line. I took longer reading the posters on the wall (out of idle curiosity alone) than in the booth. Then again, that's maybe a good thing; South Carolina has a three-minute limit on voting.

They were out of I Voted stickers here as well. It's a problem I'm willing to withstand.
