USA Election 2008 : The "I Voted" Poll

[rainbowgc]

We have early voting in FL so I voted last week! I am so excited to see who wins, and glad the ads will finally be over!

If they don't care to learn about the issues, honestly, I'd rather they NOT vote.

I actually had a friend vote for Bush just because she thought he was funny. You would think that she would know a thing or two about politics since her dad is the Mayor of a city here in Michigan. But my dear friend has no clue and you cannot even discuss politics with her because she honestly knows nothing. Maybe she want's to stick her head in the sand.......I don't know.

dh and I voted a little while ago. There were only 9 people waiting in front of us in line. ( we are in a super little rural area).

I'm still under my maiden name as well! I thought I changed it after the last county election though. Oh well, they don't ID you.

They don't ID you?? For real??

I sent in my ballot last week. I dropped off DS at the poll about an hour ago - he's home sick. DBF is going after work and everywhere, there are lines out the door.

I voted early at City Hall. The clerk just asked my name, and then after she found me in the computer, asked if I still lived at ... -- no ID, nada.

Hey Greebo -- how do you find out if you're anyone's ignore lists?

In my case? People go out of their way to tell me.

We voted today around 11:30. No line at all... 3 people came in after us, but all in all, deserted... They never checked our ID either, they only wanted to know our names & addresses.

When we went to the grocery store after (I swear, they wait to the last minute to tell me they need a toothbrush ) and most of the employees were buzzing about voting. One was irate that no one checked for her ID either.

I voted on October 23rd.

I voted last Thursday

speaking of people not knowing anything. I have a friend who voted for Bush because she thought he was cute. Thats what she based her vote on

[nodmicks]

We both voted. A friend of mine made a bumper sicker that says "GO VOTE! IF YOU DONT VOTE~ YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BITCH LATER"

[KKCondrey]

I voted last Wed. about 30 minutes before they closed early voting for that day and I think I was in and out in less than 10 min. I was going to wait until Election Day, but then I found out that Joe had to work and was scared that by the time I got off work and got Paige that there would be a long line and I could just hear Paige saying....I hungry or I got to go pee...lol

[momof42003]

Since we vote by mail, it was a no brainer to vote.. Dh even sent his from California express mail to get it here on time. YES is my answer...

[Sassyclass]

I did for the first time in a while. No waiting even though I kept reading and hearing about the expectation of more turnout for this election. Maybe it was just the time of the day. I waited until about 4pm.

I was very surprised that I didn't have to wait. I'm also shocked to hear that there are places where you aren't ID'd. There have been signs up all over the place at every place I've ever voted (in Alabama and Florida) stating to have your ID ready. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I did hear on the news though that other polling places in town had very long lines. I guess going at 10am was a good idea. My husband had no wait either at 5:30pm. Glad that ads are over!!!

[C@rol]

Yep. We did. We were number 6 and 7 in the line at 5:40 am.
When we left 30 minutes later there were almost 100 people in line and the drive way to the back of the building was full.
