I haven't, yet... still agonizing in self-debate over who to vote for for governor - the rest of the decisions are pretty (depressingly, disgustingly, I-feel-dirty-ly) easy, but ... gragh!

Though I will before the polls close, even if it comes down to a coinflip between Kinky and Bell.

I don't believe in voting just to vote. I'm not really sure about any local candidate, so I'm not voting. I probably end up voting about 1/2 to 2/3 of the time. There just aren't always candidates I feel right about backing.

I'm not voting today for one simple reason. I mailed in my absentee ballot last week (~4 hours away from my precinct by car). From what I've read, this is going to be an interesting election simply due to the number of absentee ballots that have been requested/issued. Apparently, something like 25% of the ballots cast are to be by absentee ballot.

I participated in early voting, so I voted Friday. The good news is we should have ~80% of the results in by 10pm tonight, which means we should have a very solid preliminary result for each item by tonight.

You can just vote on local propositions and what not. Certianly you care which way THOSE go.

I voted. About 9:15 this morning, on my way to my first class. I'm not afraid to mention that I voted DeVos.

Also, I gave blood (like I do every 56 days), and They moved the needle to fill the test vials at the end, and it made me BLEED! :(

Take time, get educated. Vote on the things you care about, and learn about the things you don't know about..

Hard up for cash?

PS "Stand proud" eh? I'll just wait for Fuggle and The Cid to see it and start foaming at the mouth about "flag waving nutjobs" and such.
