Election Day 2004

[Katie Reynolds]

I, along with my mother and father, voted today in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.

Got there at 7 only to stand in line for TWO HOURS.

[David Kelly]

There was absolutely no wait for me when I voted this morning around 8:15. Myself, my dad, my mom, and my brother all voted in District 69 in southern Indianapolis, IN. I was the 121st (Road Warriors ) to slip my paper ballot into the optical scan machine.

Wooo! for voting.

[Beth Sweet]

I'm very upset that I missed being able to vote by just two weeks. Especially since this is supposed to be one of the most important elections in a while. Anyways, I'm sure that both of my parents voted back home in Milford, and my sister probably did up (over? down?) in Flint too. (All Michigan)

[Melissa Nute]

I voted three weeks ago with my absentee ballot for Florida.

And no, it wasn't in the group that got lost in the mail.

Mike,
That is disgusting.
Not just that you would do it, but that you would proclaim it in a public forum.

Remember kids, Despite the old Nike ads:
Don't be like Mike.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. You don't even provide a reason for your libel. All you are doing is inciting a flame war and wrecking Bill Gold's thread.

My mom and I voted today, with my dad voting in early elections I believe, yesterday. 13th Precinct (That can't be lucky :-p )

[Greg Perkins]

I voted today.

im happy

[Peter Matteson]

Got up early and voted on my way to work (before 7am) because grad school prevents me from doing it later.

I don't think JVN was right with what he said (no cookie for you John!), if a few more people did that, and a few more Bush people go, then Bush could get Massachusetts, and you would be kicking yourself. Just a thought.

Based on how loudly he was booed at Fenway during the DNC it seems quite possible.

JVN was booed at Fenway?

[Bill Gold]

Thanks to everyone who has responded already. This is very helpful for us.

I’ll set a good example and say that I’m on my way to vote with my parents and my brother in the 16th Congressional District in California.

Keep ‘em coming everyone

[Alex Pelan]

Both of my parents voted in Hartford County, Connecticut (don't know the district).

Alright, a lot of people have given me heat for this comment, so I want to explain.

I knew John Kerry would win Massachusetts without my vote. It's illogical to think that my single vote mattered in the state of Massachusetts. However, my vote did matter in the whole country. Once reason John Kerry conceded as early as he did was because he did not win the popular vote. People like me probably caused John Kerry to not win the popular vote.

Therefore, I do actually feel bad for not voting. Because of how close this election was every vote did matter. John Kerry's concession is proof that every vote does count and you shouldn't not vote just because you know that your electoral votes will go for your candidate.
