View Full Version : VOTE!
Well, someone had to make a topic about it. If you're of legal age go out and vote today. As an American it's your most sacred right so go exercise it.
edit: this isn't the proper forum to lavish oral attention on any candidate or issue's genitals, so do NOT f.uck up this thread with such things.

Already did.. 6:30AM when the polls opened. And I've spent the last 2 hours calling everyone I know getting them to the polls. Ohio is probably going to swing this election, and without naming any names, I'm making sure my candidate gets every vote I can get him.

I'm in WIsconsin, so we are a swig state too. It's crazy how many times each candidate has been here. This election could be as close as the last one.

just did an hour ago. i feel i did my part by handing out voter registration forms at shows we've thrown and mailing them for the people out of pocket. lets hope something changes with this election- it's imperative. either way it goes, the path to righteousness is important.

Yea I was surprised that both Bush and Kerry were in town last night and this morning.. its odd to think that northeast Ohio could be deciding our next President.

Well, keep in mind that top of the line for this election are those Diebold piles of crap. You're no doubt better off with whatever you used.

I have heard some people say "I would vote for anybody so long as it isn't ****** ". That's shameful. They could be voting for Hitler for all they know and their rationale is "Because he isn't ******".
When the founding fathers were all together fighting over how the Government would be set up, the following comment was made about Democracy - "Democracy doesn't ensure that the people get a good government, it ensures that the people get the govrnment they deserve."
Voting is indeed a sacred privelege - don't misuse it. If you are voting today, please put a smidgeon of effort into finding out where the candidates stand on the issues. There are plenty of huge arguments here in the CAG forums that will pretty much iron those positions out for you so at the very least you know who you are voting for.

They already do. It's called absentee ballot. You can call, write, or go online and request your ballot be sent to you, then you mail it back, postage prepaid. There's no excuse not to.

I think if they made election day a holiday you'd just have people go out of town with their day off and not bother to vote. Maybe if they made it a Wednesday, but with it being Tuesday most people would just make it a 4 day weekend.

Interesting.
I've voted in every election, primary, general, dinky 2-prop ballots, since I've turned 18 and have never had jury duty.
I'll be going later, I'm home with my sick boy and don't want to have him wait in that long line with me when he's not feeling well..
I would add an addendum to the topic title:
Educate yourself, Don't Believe the Hype, Read Between the Lines, *then* vote. THere's plenty of BS from all sides to sift through, I'd respect a voter who votes opposite from me, but has valid logical thought out and true reasons to do so, more so than a blindly allegiant voter for any other side.

All the props are nuts and have to be intimidating for a new voter. Throw "when in doubt vote no" out the window now too since they're starting to do the no means yes crap. *pulls hair out*
I am away at college, so I sent out my absentee ballot a while ago.

Yeah, I know at least here (IIRC) county jury duty is tied to your Driver's License/Identification, and Federal jury duty is tied to voter registration. Whether you go to the polls or not or not doesn't make a difference...if you're registered to vote, you're in the Federal jury pool.
Anyway, I don't know why people get so afraid of or upset about jury duty. The process is fascinating and even a little bit exciting. Not to mention, once you go through the process, even if you're not selected, you don't have to worry about being called again for a pretty lengthy period of time.

I hope mine counted. I went this morning at 7am after work. My county of Napa is using electronic voting this year. Well, it wasn't working so they had to hand out paper ballots (which I'm sure they ran out of soon after I left) and had no secure box to place them in, at one point one of the volunteer women handed somebody an already voted on ballot thinking it was a fresh one.....
I kept trying to call the elections office but, of course, their number was busy. The stub from my ballot says I can call in 21 days to check the status of my ballot. What the f*ck is that?! 21 days might as well be 5,000 years from election day.

Good thing I'm not in Ohio anymore. Anybody have the arrow ballots? There were the both ends of an arrow after the candidates name and you connected the one you wanted to vote for. Was I supposed to get something in the mail when I registered? When I asked a USPS worker at the counter, she asked me if I got something in the mail, which I didn't.
