I voted, did you?

Lady in front of me didn't vote for all the differnet offices and didn't hit the vote button afterward. I called one of the workers over and they tried to catch her but she was gone so they had to clear out what she had already chosen before I could start so she waited in line over an hour and her vote didn't even count because she didn't bother to finish. Since ours are electronic you have to vote for every office before you finish so I know since she didn't bother with half of them if they had caught her she would just have randomly hit buttons until it let her hit vote. I don't like how they do that because some of the issues and offices were so obscure it took me a lot of time trying to figure out just what they were and they didn't really affect me but I still had to do my best to decide who/what to vote for.

I cast my ballot on Friday. Absentee ballot. It was kinda funny that they even put a little tiny pencil in with the material.

As always, my vote is private.

I appreciate that the mods on this board have kept all the bickering out of here.

I'll be up all night watching the results. Gotta love democracy.

I wish that the whole world could vote in the US election - because at the end of the day, the results will affect the entire globe

Having said that, i too will be anxiously waiting the results - moreso than when the Australian election was on last month.

I agree!!! There are some times when you can't research every single person on the ballot. It's definitely better to be able to be undecided than to randomly pick and skew the votes.

Funny thought, they still use paper only, no machines or computers. Like I'm back in time 20 years. "Hickville, PA"

Edit: Oh yeah...Bush

That was the same thing that happened to me! It was all paper and the workers were all elderly

@eugenen - your ballot didn't have a straight ticket? In my district, she could have just selected dem, rep, etc. and left all of the non partison and proposal stuff blank and been done. Oh well, we'll see if good ole hanging chad makes an appearance this time.
