The Official "I Voted!" Thread

nathan1977 · 11-07-2006, 12:10 PM

Voted.

VertigoGal · 11-07-2006, 12:27 PM

I convinced my mother, who wouldn't have gone otherwise, to vote then told her *exactly* who and what to vote for.

Does that count?

80sU2isBest · 11-07-2006, 12:39 PM

I voted. Only voted for one non-Republican and that was an independent.

Varitek · 11-07-2006, 12:45 PM

I voted 2.5 weeks ago when I paid a ridiculous amount to mail my ballot back to the US.

MaxFisher · 11-07-2006, 01:03 PM

Voted.

Liesje · 11-07-2006, 01:10 PM

If you're intending to vote Republican, leave an hour early to make sure you get there in time.

However, if you're intending to vote Democrat, work some overtime instead - extra money is always a good thing. Or maybe just relax; have a nice dinner and a movie.

UberBeaver · 11-07-2006, 02:08 PM

Voted. I had a healthy mix between Rep, Dem, Green and Libertarian.

tiny dancer · 11-07-2006, 02:15 PM

Number 530 at the place I voted at.

Bono's shades · 11-07-2006, 02:18 PM

I voted after lunch.

corianderstem · 11-07-2006, 02:22 PM

I voted at 8am

for both GOP and Dem canidates

I have been heavily involved in my City Council elections. I am glad it will be over, soon.

Our touch screens were not really "touch" but there was a wheel (like a phone dial) that moved a cursor up - down and around.
Confusing for many, easy to flip though a screen and not vote for some contests.

I'm going against my own principle this time and voting based on the issues (I'd rather be party-loyal b/c I don't like wishy-washy people). Actually, the only ones I really care about are our proposals and the candidates I know personally. Besides, I don't get overtime.

Let us know how your friend did, Deep.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · 11-07-2006, 03:35 PM

I voted. It was around 10-30 and it was a bit disheartening to see there were only 5 other people there, other than the volunteers. I hope it was a slow time.

coemgen · 11-07-2006, 03:45 PM

Voted.

There are actually five contested seats on our 7 member City Council

I started a little group - web site here to help get some candidates elected.

Jack has an uphill fight, he is in a 4 - way race.

MrsSpringsteen · 11-07-2006, 04:09 PM

Voted, all Democrats-but most were unopposed or up against Green Party or some such candidates. If there had been a Republican that I could have supported I would have voted for one.

redkat · 11-07-2006, 04:20 PM
