***The Official "I Voted Straight Democratic Ticket" thread***

[boston bean]

Shout it out here!!!

[MANative]

1. That's me!

😊

[GWC58]

2. 😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃

[Ohiogal]

3. SIX of em

from my family!

[workinclasszero]

64. WoW!

You guys rock!

[vercetti2021]

4. I did it individually

I wasn't taking chances with it flipping to Cruz. I scrolled through it carefully. Voted all Dems I could find. Skipped lone cons.

[boston bean]

5. Any which way you did it is GREAT.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

133. Did it individually too. Thought safer in TX. Plus it's more FUN

[BlueInRedHell]

431. Same--no straight ticket box available in FL.

[DownriverDem]

447. Took our choice of straight ticket away

Michigan had straight ticket voting for decades. repubs tried to take it away and we won. Then they appealed it and we lost. This is the first time for Michigan to vote this way. I have never voted this way. Our Proposal 3 will bring it back.

[ariadne0614]

6. I thought it was safer to vote individually, not straight ticket.

I read somewhere that rigged machines were messing with straight ticket votes. Am I wrong?

[boston bean]

7. Here in MA we always have to choose. But I will vote straight Democratic!!!

[lark]

234. FL, at least where I am, doesn't offer the option for straight party voting.

That's fine with me. I like filling in the bubbles for each and every Democrat, for judges who are sane and appointed by a Democrat & for the few good amendments. WE have a very important one, Prop 4, that could change FL's draconian law which disenfranchises forever anyone convicted for a felony charge. If it passes, only people with felonies for murder or sexual assault/rape will be disenfranchised, a huge step forward. I am so praying this passes so my son and millions of others like him convicted for things like not paying fines and fees for parole from driving offenses and those charged with marijuana possession.

[watoos]

38. Jill Winebank the Watergate prosecutor

said to vote for each Democrat one at a time. Then you get to review your ballot to see if any of your choices got flipped.

[ariadne0614]

76. Thanks. That's what I heard. n/t

[samnsara]

108. ..and this is why y'all need paper mail-in ballots....

..ones you mark with an X...none of that punch out stuff or line drawing. OG ballots!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

136. +1

[INdemo]

215. In Indiana and we are probably using older

machines but whether one votes straight ticket or individual on the last page there is a review button to double check accuracy of your vote.

[Bob Loblaw]

495. That's what I did

up here in the politically barren northeastern part of the state. I wouldn't split my ticket if my 13 year old was running for hall monitor as a repub.

[sarge43]

93. NH. Have to mark each name individually. Good.

We had a paper ballot run thru a scanner.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

170. Yup, same thing in Maine. I think that's the best way.

Best to look over each race and vote individually. It doesn't take that much more time. We got to rank on the US house and US senate races this time too.

[lunatica]

197. Same in New Mexico

We can also vote in any polling place and don’t need to show any ID. We just answer some questions.

In New Mexico in order to get a Driver’s License you have to take your birth certificate, Social Security card, one official government document (like a driver’s license) and a utility bill to prove you live where you say you live. So after all that they know you’re legit. So when they have you on the voters’ list they know you’re good to go. And your Driver’s license is also proof of citizenship.

[sarge43]

249. We had to show a picture ID

Of course, the fact that this is one of those Blink and you'll miss burgs made that rather redundant. "Hi sarge; hey Abby."

[ck4829]

113. That's what I do anyway, just press the button for every Democrat

A lot of pride in doing that

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

167. Oh weird, can't vote like that in Maine. Always individual

We have paper ballots too... not voting machines. The ballot you get for absentee voting is the same one they give you at the polling place on election day.

[Honeycombe8]

444. I don't know if he means the one-punch Straight "D," or voting all-Democratic.

I'm like you. I don't like the one-punch "D" vote. I vote for each one, individually. I want to see the X mark the spot.

Here in TrumpLand, there are some that don't have Dems on the ticket, anyway, plus state amendments...so I'd have to look at most of them individually, anyway.

[icymist]

8. Of course I voted straight Dem!

I wouldn't vote for a R even if they were unopposed.

[yuiyoshida]

9. Yes, Yes I did...

Yes we can! (juju and I both did!)

[roamer65]

10. Going to my poll and that's what I'm doing.

[Best_man23]

11. VA-01 reporting

Stafford County, two straight Democratic tickets

Tim Kaine for US Senate
Vangie Williams for Congress

VOTE BLUE!!

[NotAPuppet]

224. Another blue dot in Stafford....

I’m about to do the exact same thing in Stafford. It’s not very blue yet, but I hope that we can change that today!

[In It to Win It]

12. FL-20

OF COURSE I DID! Dems were the only people on the ballot. Republicans aren’t people.

[we can do it]

13. 💪🏼Me too!

[Kaleva]

14. I was voter #1 this morning at my precinct. Straight D! MI-01.

[bluecollar2]

15. Checking in from Florida district 26 n/t

[PJMcK]

16. I'll vote in about an hour

Straight Democratic for me, as usual.

[gademocrat7]

17. Yes, two of us!

[Recursion]

18. I broke with the state party on one wonkish ballot issue

But, candidate-wise, straight D:

Kaine
Beyer
No on Q1 (the party endorsed it but I'm not a fan)
Yes on Q2 (both parties said vote yes)
de Ferranti
Kanninen
Yes on all four bond issues.

[Le Gaucher]

19. Yes ..except Board of Ed ..they have no Party affiliation

[lkinwi]

20. Definitely straight Dem.

Walker going down would be the cake with Duffy going down the frosting. Every other repuke loss is a candle. 🎂🎂🎂

[Jersey Devil]

21. All Dems in Goldsboro North Carolina - Congress, State House & Senate, judges,

and completely down the line. In places down ballot where there were no Democratic candidates (a few local offices) I wrote in the names of Democrats already on the ballot for other local offices rather than the Republican on the ballot.

[Sherman A1]

22. I'm voting straight D except for one

my State House Rep a D who is running unopposed and will win no matter what. In my mind he is a complete bozo who's political family schemed to get him into office, pushing out a very good D state rep that we had.

If he was opposed I would vote for him, but not in the present set of circumstances.

[nycbos]

23. I am working on a out of state campaign but I sent in my absentee ballot.

Dem down the line

[DeminPennswoods]

24. PA-17

Gov Wolf/LtGov Fetterman
Sen Bob Casey, Jr
Rep Conor Lamb
State House Rep Amy Fazio

Also straight Dem vote from parent via absentee ballot.

Very short ballot, no ballot questions or local/municipal races

[FakeNoose]

157. PA-18 First straight D-ticket ever (for me)

I've never done this before but it makes so much sense.
Go Pennsylvania Democrats - make this a Blue State once again!

[oasis]

25. No GOP ever!

[Kitchari]

26. Yes!

With conviction in my heart

[TheBlackAdder]

27. That goes without saying, but I'll say it! YEEAAAHH! Family, friends, and most relatives

.

The inbred gun humpers of one lineage didn't break left.

Funny, they're the ones that game unemployment, welfare, and scam all day long, professing their Christianity.

.

[Raven123]

28. Yes. Voted early and blue

[archiemo]

29. Without a doubt!

[wcast]

30. Both my wife and I did.

Except I am too paranoid to hit the straight Dem button.

[handmade34]

31. D's all the way!!

[WhiskeyWulf]

32. Did it, but individually. nt

[Nuffer]

36. PA 15TH straight Dem!

I proudly voted a straight Democratic ticket in the brand new PA 15th District! Go Dems! Go Blue! I have a very good feeling about this one!!

[Roy Rolling]

37. Early Voted

Retire already, Steve Scalise. They have made you a lapdog for the worst Congressional majority in the history of the United States. Not much to brag about there.

If we don't vote you out, then at least take a back seat to a Democratic majority.

[study war no more]

39. Yep.

That's me

[SergeStorms]

503. Welcome!

Thanks for voting straight (D) and welcome to Democratic Underground!

[study war no more]

570. thank you

I've been lurking for a loooooong time (dating back to the top 10 conservative idiot days).

[SergeStorms]

571. Wow!

That's one long-term lurk! Jump in and join the conversations. It really helps with the angst we're going through with tRump.

[hotrod0808]

40. OH-05

We all are getting ready to go vote for her here shortly, proudly. NT

[workinclasszero]

75. Yay!

Lets go Dems!!!

[demgrrrll]

[workinclasszero]

131. IKR?

Gotta be that beautiful blue wave! 🌊🌊🌊

[demgrrrll]

141. Yes and my polling place usually has a lot of older people like me.

Right or wrong when I see rainbow hair and nose rings I think diverse crowd.

[workinclasszero]

146. I think that's right too lol

We also have medical MJ and raising the minimum wage on the ballot so maybe that will draw out more voters than usual?

[lastlib]

48. Oh, yeah! Proud to say it LOUD!

I Voted Straight Democratic!

Chris Matthews of "Hardball" still plays the tape of Turzai bragging how voter ID was going to help Mitt Romney win the state of PA....

[brush]

52. I'm in.

[pnwest]

53. I had the pleasure of voting straight

Dem on, and then mailing in, my paper ballot a week ago here in WA. Woohoo!

[dweller]

54. early voted

all D ⚫️

[louis c]

56. Me, and about 200 others in Massachusetts

I have a lot of people who ask me every election how to vote. Without getting into it too deeply, I assist a lot of people getting jobs, cutting red tape in government, obtaining fuel assistance and getting into housing. All I ask in return is to make sure they're registered and that they vote. Almost all contact me, my wife or others who network into that assistance that they have received, to ask how they should vote. For today's election in Massachusetts it was easy. Vote for every Democrat on the ballot and vote yes on the 3 questions.

[kag]

319. Good for you!

That should help some! Thank you!

[Green Line]

407. Exactly how I voted.

[HopeAgain]

57. Florida 23rd

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Raising Hand!

Only one race i didn't fill in the oval for D, but that's because there was only an R running. I left it blank.

[get the red out]

59. Go Amy McGrath!

Hell yes I voted a straight Democratic ticket, and had to wait in line in Lexington, KY at 6:30 am to do so!

[dreamland]

60. Was not happy about Bob menendez

But straight down blue was the only way to go.

[In It to Win It]

62. FL-24

Reporting for a friend that got her citizenship in September. STRAIGHT BLUE BABY!

[AllyCat]

63. Oh....Me!!!

Straight ticket Dem here too.

[Tarheel_Dem]

77. Me! Me! Me!

[pamdb]

78. Straight ticket

Yeah, we used to have straight ticket here in Michigan until the republicans, who control house and senate and governorship ( hopefully not after today) took it away. The democrats have tried repeatedly to bring that back along with early voting and the republicans won’t bring it up. Voter suppression Michigan style.

[Raster]

79. YES, indeedy!!!

[Callalily]

80. Oh yeah!

[forgotmylogin]

81. Just got back!

Voted all Democrats in north St. Louis County, including Claire McCaskill. Take that, righties who spent all that money so that every commercial break had people speaking ill of her in hushed breathy tones over ominous piano music!

[sinkingfeeling]

82. I did a couple of weeks ago.

[mac56]

83. MN 8

Paper ballot, one by one.

[japple]

84. Yes! Took my absentee ballot by the board of elections office on

Oct. 26.

[bullwinkle428]

85. Did it two weeks ago in Iowa. Republicans took away the option of straight-ticket

voting not long ago, but it was still well worth getting the opportunity to "fill in the ovals" for every Democratic candidate.

[Light63]

86. Voted straight Democrats in Illinois

Voted number 17 at 6 o’clock this morning!

Hope and wish for the best of regaining our country’s moral and integrity!

[consider_this]

91. Did the same!

[Butterflylady]

89. Me and hubby

Wolf and Casey

[sarge43]

90. Just returned

Hubby and I were there before the door was open. The line was out into the parking lot. This turn out may break some mid-term records.

[warmfeet]

92. Wife and I both voted straight Democratic ticket.

This is nothing unusual as we always for Democrats. We voted a week and a half ago. Fingers crossed.

[HAB911]

94. FL 14

DONE

[2naSalit]

95. I sent mine in two weeks ago

and I'm sure it was received the next day. But what is also good is that in my immediate family there are six voters in southern California (I know 5 are voting straight Democratic tickets) and three in central California who will be voting straight Democratic ticket as well. We pack a wallop.

[agingdem]

96. vote switch!

I live in Texas...beware machine vote switch...and the buzz among like-minded Dem voters...CHECK YOUR BALLOT..

[Sophiegirl]

103. Done!

We were in line at 6:30am.

[watoos]

104. Just got back from voting in central Pa.

My town is Republican, but something is different. A husband and wife were standing out front with umbrellas and a big billboard with names and pictures of the Democratic candidates. They were the only people. Of course I knew the people standing there, they are 72 years old and life long Democrats. I shook their hands and told them that I was going inside to Make America America Again. They both cheered.

I am a positive person but I have to admit I had my doubts about electing a Democratic Representative in my district, from the young people I saw I believe it can happen.

People, doesn't it feel so good to be riding the blue tsunami?

[redstatebluegirl]

105. I did except for Oklahoma State Treasurer we did not have a candidate so I voted for the Independent

[Fla Dem]

[ResistantAmerican17]

I have read about the vote flipping over to that cockroach piece of shit Raphael Cruz in the Houston area so I went down the line and voted ALL Democrats, one by one. I will NOT be cheated out of my shot at putting ratfuck republicans out like last week’s trash!!!

announcing: "Now I can complain about anything!.

[PatrickforO]

149. Me too, and wife, three adult children, several colleagues at work

[Joe Nation]

152. I didn't even vote for republicans that didn't have a challenger

I'm a 110%

[Tiggeroshii]

153. Yes

[Cary]

154. Straight Dem here

Unless I voted for retention of a Republican judge. I don't know but no matter they are almost always retained.

[erpowers]

155. Voted Early

I voted a straight ticket and only voted Republican when it was a Republican vs. a Libertarian.

[ZeroSomeBrains]

156. Did it Saturday here in Illinois

[lambchopp59]

158. My very blue ballot mailed over a week ago. I don't recall voting for any GOP, ever

However, some non-partisan local school board candidates took some extensive internet digging to discover their general profile, and I was glad I did, discovering that one had done much work with Unitarian church, her opponent's profiles were so spartan, so the more internet active person got my vote.
Especially after this horrifying GOP presidency and the ilk of McConnell and Gohmert, I don't believe there's any redemption for any repug.

[neohippie]

159. I got my ballot in and...

I was able to get my 66 year old house mate to vote for the first time in her life. I had her register years ago to encourage her to vote previously but each time when she got to our voting place she was too scared to go into the booth alone. She hadn't had much education and was too worried that she would embarrass herself by not knowing how to work the machines or that she would not know what to do if anything unexpected was on the ballot.

I had tried in the past to have sample ballots etc... but this time I requested absentee ballots, that way she could vote at home, and we had a computer that we used to look up information about candidates so that she didn't have to worry about trying to remember all the names or confusing one for another , and if she had questions like about, ballot initiatives etc...

She called me this morning just after she dropped her ballot off at the Board of elections office to let me know that she had officially voted for the first time in her life and you could hear the pride in her voice. Another woman voter empowered!

[TheOther95Percent]

160. I Did. Three Weeks Ago. Straight Dem.

[RobertDevereaux]

161. Nothing but blue all up...

... and down the ballot.

[47of74]

162. Goddamn right I did.

Straight fucking D down the line too.

Blum, Reynolds, Lundgren, et al can kiss my ass.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

163. Straight D except for one local race there was no D choice running

It was probate judge I think. Republican will win by default there.

[Liberal In Texas]

164. Voted a week ago today.

All DEM!
One race had a repub and libertarian...couldn't vote for either one and left it blank.

[world wide wally]

165. Four in my family

168. You know it!!!!

It's my wife's birthday and we are going to vote together on my lunch break. STRAIGHT DEM BABY!!!!

[HockeyMom]

169. New PA 8th

Coolbaugh 2. Nasty, rainy day. Could not believe all the people. Four cars leaving. Six cars coming. There even was a line for taking Exit Poll! Did not use the straight ticket option. I voted for each individual Dem candidate.

To quote old woman ahead of me on line. "If you don't like the direction this country is taking, stop complaining about it and VOTE".

Seems people are doing just that!

[Politicub]

171. Two more!

Me and my husband. We voted early. Go Stacey Abrams!!!

[RockaFowler]

[liberal from boston]

547. November 6. 2018

Also proudly voted today for Senator Warren & every Democrat on the ballot!!!

[Buckeyeblue]

184. Yes--SW Michigan

[DFW]

185. I did, but I did it one by one

I didn't want to leave anything to chance. It took me almost half an hour to fill it out and cost €3.45 to mail, but it was worth the time and expense!

[Quixote1818]

208. We should all be doing this. In NM you have to do it that way. nt

[Liberal In Texas]

504. You going to be up really late to see the returns? n/t

[DFW]

565. Yes, but the show I saw was "Tester plus disaster."

I fell asleep for a few hours, and it looks like we may have won Nevada (and maybe even Arizona?), but the rest of the Senate was a concert by "Ted Cruz and the Storm Trumpers."

[ellie]

186. Done and done

I have been a Democrat my whole life (I am 53). This election, the repukes would not stop robocalling me. Ralph Fucking Reed called me. It is offensive that they think I am a repuke.

[mopinko]

187. me. chitown.

mostly foregone conclusions on my ballot, but hey, jb. rauner needs to get busy rotting in hell.

[lunatica]

188. I sure did!

It is one of my prouder moments!

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

189. I did, except for

the 2 write ins I did. Two thugs running unopposed. One for constable, the other just as low on the voting pole as constable.


I wrote in Alec Baldwin and Pee Wee Herman.

[idahoblue]

190. Yes!

[Ultraviolet Cat]

191. Straight Dem!

My wife and I both wore blue and voted blue!

[MarkEzra]

192. California Mail In Ballot

Checked that it had been Received and COUNTED..... It was... Straight Democratic. The days of me considering a Republican are over.

[oswaldactedalone]

193. In

[BlueTexasMan]

194. Yep!

Been there, done that. Not much color red in the line. I think our Republican voters are ashamed to be seen. Our county is slowly turning blue as evidenced by several years of data.

[liberal N proud]

195. Here and always

[Adrahil]

196. Hell yeah!!!

With one exception. I actually voted for a Republican for my town Treasurer/Clerk.

The Democrat was not well qualified, while the Republican has a math degree and is a CPA. The position is largely a technical deicision (their job is pretty much to keep the town's books).

Other than that, it's all Democrats.

[reACTIONary]

198. Stright, unadulterated dem....

.... all the way down the ballot. Scjool board is non-partisan so I used the teacher recommendations.

I voted agaonst retention for all judges. This is my general policy.

[roamer65]

199. Straight Dem and YES on Michigan Props 1, 2 and 3.

[Mrs. Overall]

200. Absolutely!

Only Dems for me!

[SergeStorms]

201. Oh hell yeah!

You mean there's other ways to vote? I can't figure out why anyone would vote differently.

Voting for anyone other than a Democrat seems a bit ludicrous.

[ailsagirl]

202. YESSSSS!!!!!!!

[PA Democrat]

203. PA 14 straight Democratic

but I wanted the satisfaction of checking the box for each individual candidate.

[bluestarone]

205. NOTHING new here 71 years old and

Voted STRAIGHT DEM ticket since i was 30 yrs old!! (wife the same way) I'm lucky to have a wife that feels the same way!!!!

[gopiscrap]

206. It was totally BLUE for me!!!

As far as I am concerned if you are a republican, you're dead to me...don't talk to me, get let me see you because you truly are scum of the earth. My sister voted repuke in 2002 because of 9-11 and I haven't spoken to her since

[MoonRiver]

207. Of course!

[Gore1FL]

209. Missouri Straight Dem Ticket

Plus a yes on Amendment 2.

[Metatron]

210. I did, too!

Go, Democrats!!

[winstars]

212. Times Three in My Family!!!

[StarryNite]

213. Straight Blue!

I've been voting for many years and have always voted a straight blue ticket. My dad taught me that. He just died in September. He was 103 years old, a lifetime Democrat. Here's to you Daddy!

[MontanaMama]

220. I'm sorry you lost your dad.

103! That’s amazing.

My late father taught me to do the same. Dems care about other people and that’s all you need to know...that’s what he said to me. Here’s to our dad’s and a straight BLUE ticket.

[StarryNite]

247. Thank you.

It's hard for me today because this is the first election that I haven't been able to call my dad to talk about the election... to celebrate the wins, to have him comfort me through the losses.

To our dads...

[countingbluecars]

214. Done!

Voted Kaine and Wexton.

[Bonhomme Richard]

216. "Let this be the hour when we draw swords together.

“Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the blue dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!”

[Ligyron]

217. I did.

A week ago to by mail. Checked my supervisor of election site and it registered, so good to go!

[vi5]

218. This year marks my 30th year of doing so.....

Every single election. From local alderman and board of ed on up to President. Straight Dems every time, every year.

I have questioned my wisdom in doing so many times, but I have ultimately never failed to do so and I'm not about to start now.

[lagomorph777]

219. I did that. VA-10 Bye-bye Comsuck!

We have real ballots in VA, so I ticked each box individually, but they add up to a straight ticket.

[peggysue2]

221. Yes!

Voted early and voted a straight Democratic ticket along with my husband. Felt Grand

[mglamb]

222. Voted straight blue in Fresno, CA two weeks ago!!!

So did my husband!!

[Grown2Hate]

223. Straight D ticket, right down to the judges. Luckily, in AZ, Kelli Ward's crazy ass puts

out a list of judges to vote Yes or No on. You can just safely do the OPPOSITE, basically (of course I spot checked to be certain).

LET'S GO KYRSTEN SINEMA! LET'S DO THIS!!!

[ooky]

225. YES + 4

[grockri]

226. I always do. Felt like there was more of a chance in AZ

I hope we can take back some seats in the house and Senate both on the federal and state level. Feeling hopeful.

[brewens]

227. Electric blue scrubs, blue zip up hoodie, blue hat, and "Everything I Have Is Blue" by the

Smithereens ready to jam on my way over. A little more coffee, a few bong hits for breakfast, and I'm out the door!

[Hoyt]

228. Yep. And left blank unopposed GOPers too.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

229. Hubs and I just did in Lexington Kentucky 😊👍🎉

[Takket]

253. I just voted!

Saturday night in my sleep I turned the wrong way and aggravated an existing minor muscle pull into a BAD strain. I took Monday off work, had today off anyway, and did not MOVE of the couch all day Sunday and Monday. Was in so much pain Sunday I was heartbroken thinking I wouldn’t make it, but doing much better today and loaded up on Advil just to be sure and I MADE IT!!!!

I was in and out in less than five minutes. And I've never missed a vote since JFK.

[Garrett78]

271. Duh. I've never voted for a Republican.

[jamesatemple]

272. Yessir, that's me, too!

It took me much, much longer to stuff the mail-in ballot back into the envelope, stamp the envelope, and walk out to put it in the mailbox than the five seconds it took me to vote.

[Skinner]

Almost 30 minutes ago (still out getting some takeout as a treat). Had 2 people ahead of me and 1 behind - all older... but I know this is the quieter time of day. Need to look at my 2016 post to gauge turnout but was #101, which isn't bad given it is pouring at the moment.

[airmid]

279. All done....doing my part to turn Ohio BLUE!!!!

[dajoki]

280. Six straight Democratic votes

[Moostache]

281. MO-02. Also voted to vacate all GOP judges...

They were on ballot unopposed, but write ins were allowed...so "vacate" picked up a half dozen judgeships on my ballot I stead of giving a single GOP vote on my ballot!

[ginnyinWI]

282. WI-1 District.

Randy Bryce, Tony Evers, Mandela Barnes, and Tammy Baldwin.

46 degrees and raining. They say a brisk turnout so far. Many more absentee ballots than normal. (We don't have early voting).

Our state rep candidate, Amy Cozze, greeted me at the entrance. When I got out, I told her I voted straight Dem and was headed to her office to check in as an on-call poll driver in case someone needs a lift. I'm home right now ready to make this blue wave a reality!

[Initech]

314. Done and done!!!

[paulrevere2018]

315. Easiest votes I ever made.

Charlie Baker probably would be a D in any other state but his support of Diehl made him toxic to me.

[demigoddess]

316. straight democratic, nothing else.

[Kurt V.]

317. did it!

bad news: every unopposed canidate was a repub. good news: in the largest town in my county, dems took 4 city council seats from repubs (including a 18 year incumbent)

[uponit7771]

318. K&R,

[dmoyer]

320. I did

In NY

[GoneOffShore]

321. Did it absentee for Philadelphia - Voted weeks ago.

It's 18:30 here in Aix en Provence, which makes it 12:30 in Philadelphia.
Biting our nails, drinking wine, and hoping for a good outcome.

[imavoter]

[jpak]

323. Me me me meeee!

Lala Lala Llalahhh

[Vinca]

Packed house at our southwestern NH polling place. I've never seen so many voters for a midterm, especially in the pouring rain.

[jpljr77]

325. Here! In Maryland, where it might actually mean something this time (Governor)

[kag]

326. My husband, 2 kids, and I all voted straight Dem in Colorado.

and one independent who is a closet dem but knows how to run here in my red dot!

[steve2470]

332. that's what I did! :) nt

[Johnny2X2X]

333. Ditto

Researched all the local judges and school board members too. Easy to determine who was a Dem, voted straight party.

Also, here in MI, I voted Yes on all 3 ballot proposals which were all polling to pass easily:
1. Legal recreational weed
2. nonpartisan panel to draw districts and end gerrymandering
3. Voting ease, automatic voter registration, easy voting if you recently moved, absentee ballots given without a reason.

These proposals, if all pass, will be a transformation to this state.

BALLOT PROPOSALS are a key to taking our Democracy back. We need to have something like the Cons ALEC, something that pushes ballot proposals like these in all 50 states.

[Ms. Toad]

334. Done.

I typically would have voted for a friend's husband, who is Republican, for judge - but not this year.

[iloveObama12]

335. Yes!

Straight D Ticket South Carolina Big Baby!

[amb123]

336. I voted straight Democratic by mail

[ewagner]

337. YO!

checking in.

[teamster633]

338. No straight ticket option in NH...

...but each individual choice was Democrat.

[herding cats]

339. I did the first day of early voting here in Texas.

There was one Judge and a handful of local seats w/o Dems running, which was way down from 2014. We even have a local woman running for Congress!

I checked my ballot before casting and my vote for Beto logged. JIK anyone here is concerned.

[barbtries]

340. straight ticket not an option in NC

but essentially that is exactly what i did.

[orleans]

341. voted for only dems

so did my daughter & her husband

[brooklynite]

342. Well, no...

I voted for Andrew Cuomo on the Working Families Party line.

[Awsi Dooger]

343. As always...I have never voted for a Republican

I also research non-partisan races and skip them if it is two Republicans facing each other.

Same thing with judges and anything else that pops up. Easy to Google and identify the right wingers.

[NYFlip]

344. I did!

[Moebym]

345. Voted on the first day of early voting

On 10/20, which also happens to be my birthday. Straight D.

[BadGimp]

347. Oregon Straight D here

[CaliforniaPeggy]

348. STRAIGHT DEM!

[hermetic]

[TruckFump]

353. Meeeeeeeeeee, I did I did!!!

Mail in Ballot -- Los Angeles County -- straight Dem ticket!!!!

[justhanginon]

354. Voted this morning. Childish confession.

As I blacked in the little oval for each individual Democratic candidate I muttered to myself a quiet FU to their opponent and a double FU for Rauner and Shimkus.
Felt good!

[shenmue]

355. YEAH I DID

[hobby10113]

356. I've been hitting the straight democratic button

Since I was 18. sucks the last New Mexico SoS who if course was a republican removed the straight party ticket bubble off the ballot. She got the boot after she was caught embezzling funds to finance her gambleing addiction. The new secretary added the option back. Only for the rethuglicans to sue to get it removed. :/

[CTyankee]

357. New Haven CT here!

We had a huge ballot that is going to have to be hand counted.

Yes on two initiatives.

Ned Lamont for governor. Chris Murphy up for second Senate term. Rosa DeLauro my house rep.

Stefanowski who was challenging Lamont is a creep who is anti-choice (can you believe it?). I detest the guy.

I won't know how our district voted til much later because of the ballot situation.

Great turnout and long line but hubby and I were sent to the front of the line since he's using a walker and I'm using a cane.

[jimlup]

358. I certainly did...

no other options had any meaning other than oblivion

[Nanjeanne]

359. All D in CT,

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

360. In Florida....

I voted by mail...makes today even more fun. I made sure to vote not to retain a single judicial appointment of Rick Scott's.
Voted str8 Democrat. I cannot wait for Andrew Gillum to become our next governor.

[MsBeckee75]

361. First time voting...

And I voted straight Dem in Ohio.

[boston bean]

382. Excellent!!!

[MsLeopard]

363. Just got back!

I voted individually for all the Democrats on the ballot.

[Bluepinky]

364. Felt good to vote straight Democratic ticket.

Four of us in my family, paper ballots too!

Son drove home from college to vote, after I told him how important it is (an hour drive, but still)! He’s not that interested in politics, but when possible, I explain to him how his life may be affected by who wields the political power. I remember I wasn’t interested in politics in college either, never thought I would care about it like I do.

[BBbats]

365. ME,TOO!

Bridgeport PA reporting!
I'm told good turnout despite heavy rain.
Not a one Republican campaign sign & NO Republicans handing out sample ballots.
The Dems were there handing out sample ballots in force.It was almost like the Repubs were hiding in shame! This was a very red Republican area for years. Big support for Trump. Seems like that's changing.A gay Black mayor was elected here(that really ruffled feathers). He got threats & council meetings were a three ring circus. This new mayor is doing a great job. He's attracting new business & is really involved.
Looks like things are going to change.People are seeing through Trump's shit!

[xeodtech]

366. Yup NY 24

[BigmanPigman]

367. Of course I did...have done so for 38 years!

[fishwax]

[beaglelover]

370. Yeah baby! Straight Dem ticket here in So. Cal!!!

Feels great!!

[stopbush]

371. Damn straight!

I even researched the judges this time to get it right!

BTW - here in CA, there is no option for a straight ticket. Need to vote by individual/office.

[Hotler]

372. Yo! Go team nt

[AndrewRN]

373. That's Me!

[PandoraAwakened]

374. Yesiree!

[R B Garr]

375. Yes, two more in this household -- straight blue!

[green917]

376. Blue tsunami is coming today!

Straight democratic ticket here

[Doitnow]

377. Two more all-blue voters here!

[KSNY]

378. Yup.

In New York State, we have the Working Families Party that allows us to support Democratic candidates in the general election while giving them the message that they should not become too corporate.

[JPK]

379. I did....Jacksonville, Florida as did my wife.....nt

[sobenji]

380. ME!!

[Yavin4]

381. That would be me!

Shout it out!

[pioche4]

383. Man! So emotional today...Day of Reckoning

[ThoughtCriminal]

384. That was easy

AZ Red-to-Purple-to-Blue!

[NastyRiffraff]

385. Voted early, all Blue!

Even voted for a Dem I don't particularly like running against a Republican who's not really bad (for a Republican). I'm done with Republicans forever. If Republicans want my vote, change parties and your worldview.

[Squinch]

386. Done!

[boston bean]

389. Hey hey ho ho let's wash away that red undertow!!

[Squinch]

440. I'm feeling scared to death but full of hope.

It's a unique feeling!

441. Tell me about it!! I am the same way.

[DinahMoeHum]

419. Done. On a meal break (finally!!)

Reporting in as a poll worker in NY (Westchester County):

For the first 6 hours, since 6 am, we had an average of 30 people coming in to vote.

Feeling close to fried, and we still have 6 hours left to go (we close at 9 pm)

Details tomorrow, or late tonight.

[Squinch]

442. Yay, Dinah! Is average 30 high?

[Neema]

405. I gave my vote to a couple of green candidates in way down-ticket races but otherwise

STRAIGHT DEM. And those races were ones where you choose three people. So I gave two votes to Dems and one vote to a Green.

[trickyguy]

406. Can't vote straight Dem but enjoyed filling in all those oval shapes next to a "D".

And I voted by mail about five weeks ago and was concerned that my vote got counted.
Called the City Clerks office and they had my ballot and I was officially entered.
Boy, did I feel great after that.

425. Well, except for the three or four races where there was no Dem on the ticket.

For those I voted Green or wrote in someone.

[srobertss]

426. It's crazy but I voted for one Republican

I actually voted for a Republican for the first time in my life. I have a friend who lost her HUD voucher because she was a whistleblower on the local HUD official. I accompanied her to a county commission hearing where she was trying to address the issue. The hostile looks from both Repubs and Dems was so chilling. But there was one Republican who stood by her. I had to give him my vote. It took me awhile to bubble that vote in, but I had to do it in the end. Integrity is hard to argue with.

[snacker]

427. Whole family here in Wisconsin

Let's do this!

[Stonepounder]

428. The wife and I just got back from voting.

Straight "D" on the all the partisan races. (Duh)
Unfortunately there were a number of races where (R's) were running unopposed, so I left them blank.

On the non-partisan races were we didn't know all the candidates, I voted for the ones I knew and then if I hadn't filled in enough blanks, just went for all the ones with female names. Figured that, in the main, the women couldn't possibly do any worse than the men.

When we got there there was only one other person voting, but I asked one of the poll workers about turnout and he replied "really heavy for this precinct". We normally go vote early afternoon, when most folks are working, so its not unusual to have our polling place all to ourselves. Now we just have to hold our breaths.

Tomorrow I'll take down our yard sign for Col Owens, the (D) running for KY State Assembly for our district, hopefully he'll be our new rep as of tomorrow.

[lisby]

429. I did!!!!

The crowd was much bigger than I have seen before for midterms.

[dubyadiprecession]

436. I wore dark blue clothes to vote.

The color of a blue wave is how we all need to dress.

[mia]

437. I voted (FL 27) and am feeling optimistic!

[Liberty Belle]

438. Everywhere that I could.

The statewide races, straight "D" except one I left blank, where both candidates are corrupt crooks (Dems ran a guy disbarred in 2 states for fraud. To serve on a franchise tax board.)

On local races, a couple had no Democrats running. Thankfully I am familiar with all the candidates so chose some nonpartisan ones or in one case, a moderate Rep running against a right wing bat-shit crazy rep. I left ballot mostly blank for a planning group where I only knew one candidate (a Dem) but not the rest.

Dems in our area need to get their act together and recruit good people for every race.

[central scrutinizer]

439. I voted September 25 via email from Chile

[RainCaster]

454. Would not vote for a (R) when it was the only choice

Pure blue all the way

[rocktivity]

455. Rained until about 3PM today in Jersey City.

Remarked to the polling clerk, "Hope the rain hasn't slowed things down." She said, "You're the one hundred and sixty second person." Felt a little discouraged until I calculated that since 6AM, that meant someone had come in to vote every four minutes -- and I remembered that my polling place represents THREE different wards!




rocktivity

[worstexever]

456. Always have voted straight D, since I registered to vote at 18

[sandensea]

505. Sure - "nonpartisan" judges too.

As we asll know, there's hardly such thing as a "nonpartisan" judge anymore - not in this day and age.

Whenever possible, I'd encourage anyone to at least look up who appointed said judges.

If his or her honor was appointed by a Republican, they almost never get my vote.

[Stargleamer]

506. You bet I did

except for city council races, where party affiliation was not listed, it was all Democratic for me. I'm just hoping the ones I voted for for city council are democrats.

[Old Terp]

528. Same here

[muntrv]

529. I voted all Democrats. It took awhile because Michigan banned straight ticket voting.

Thus I had to go through the whole ballot. Hopefully, Proposal 3 passes, since it will restore straight ticket voting.

[TomSlick]

530. Herself and I voted straight Democratic.

Including a vote against her cousin in a local election. I had to tell her that I have never for a Republican in my life and certainly was not going to start in the Trump-era - even for kin folk.

[LuvLoogie]

531. Of Fucking Course!

[tazkcmo]

532. St. Joseph, MO here

All Democratic ballot. Also, of the 30 some people in the polling location, most were young people!

[MissMillie]

533. Count me in!!!!

[Master_Monstruwacan]

541. I pulled straight Dem at 8:30 this morning.

Proud to say I haven't voted for an (R) for at least 25 years!

[wendyb-NC]

542. Sure did, it's the only way to vote!

[bhikkhu]

543. Done. Honestly, there was one (R) senator I had inclinations toward in the past

Good on local issues, forestry management and rural issues, pretty engaged. But he's always been across the aisle voting in the repug block against healthcare and so forth. I always had the feeling that he was an honest guy with his own convictions, which he could explain and justify if we ever had a sit-down. I don't mind disagreeing with people when they have principles and honesty. But his campaign this time around ran all kinds of radio ads about he was some heroic healthcare figure, dedicated to protecting pre-existing conditions and so forth...

Fuck that guy. If you can't stand for your own voting record, if you have to lie your ass off about who you are and pretend it never happened, you're just a piece of shit that wants to get elected hoping that people are idiots with short memories. He'll probably win this re-election campaign, but I'm done with him.

[Silver Gaia]

544. DONE.

I cried. It was that intense for me. My daughter was standing next to me and said, "Mom! Now I'm gonna cry!" LOL

[Dem2]

551. I tried to

but there were only 7 of 10 local council seats where Democrats were running, so I picked one old timey cantankerous Republican lady for 8th choice, then didn't pick last 2. Rest Democrats obviously.

[dem4decades]

552. Yep. Straight D. Haven't seen who won. Been watching youtube of things that make me happy. Hope

I voted for the Working Families candidate for NY Assembly - since the only other choice was the Republican incumbent who usually runs unopposed. I was glad to see a choice this time, though I know she doesn't stand a chance, but I've met the incumbent and was not impressed,

[krispos42]

568. Yo!

[TwistOneUp]

569. Yeah, baby! I did!

Well, I ain't exactly "straight", but I did vote straight Dem! W00t!
