I voted straight ticket today. All blue bubbles.

I didn't even read the names, I didn't care. In some races I didn't even vote for all of the candidates -- i.e., "Vote For Three;..." but only one was a Dem. I only voted for the Dem. I left the others blank. There was no straight party bubble to fill in, so I spent a lot of time coloring in those little bubbles. I should have brought my granddaughter and let her do it.

1. You are AWESOME!

Do you think you were able to pursued any others to vote today that might not be going to the polls?

7. I was amazed at how busy our polling place was.

I live in a pretty small town. I thought the place would be empty, but I had to wait for a parking place. I regret that I forgot to remind my wife to vote before work, but I did get the word out to the kids. Ironically, I'm not that active in local politics, but I do a lot of work on national/regional races. I worked on the Northam campaign in VA, but I wasn't involved in any of our local campaigns.

8. That deserves a K&R

4. My ballot is color blind. 3 school board positions, 3 candidates, no parties.

9. We had most of the town government on the ballot.

The state of Connecticut is a mess, and small town like ours are taking a big hit as the legislature cuts services and passes the costs along to municipalities. Little things like transfer station fees and beach passes have doubled or tripled as they try not to spike property taxes. So this was important. All of the Board of Selectmen was up for grabs, plus finance managers and all of the other stuff. For a small-town election, it was a big deal.

10. Well I was befuddled.

Put everything off until the last minute, of course. I didn't know what to do about the city council members for my town in Boulder County. Easy fix: I looked on the Boulder County Democratic Party endorsements and picked those. I couldn't find Democratic endorsements for the school board, so I checked out the Boulder Weekly for their "progressive picks." I pretty much knew where I stood on the ballot issues for my town so that wasn't a problem. I'll drop my ballot off on the way to work.

Point is: Check your county's Democratic site for endorsements. Saved me!

BTW, we only have two sites to drop off and one of them had construction signs up blocking the entrance even though there was NO CONSTRUCTION! One of the Lafayette city council candidates fixed that in a hurry.

11. I always do

Every time.

Even when I don't like the Dem candidate. There was one time, I literally hated the local Dem, who I knew personally. Still voted for him.

Told him I didn't when he asked though, because he was a jerk about it.

12. I use "Fuse,"

the progressive voters' guide. I don't know if they are nationwide or just in Washington state, though. When there is no "D" to follow, they help me with which people are most progressive and which way to vote on initiatives I'm not familiar with. The Stranger newspaper in Seattle is sometimes helpful, too. I'm willing to go super radical left if I need to just to avoid anything anywhere NEAR conservative. I hate them so much.
