List items that will make your wait in line more comfortable on Tuesday:

[Lex]

A rain poncho or umbrella (depending on weather).

Something to drink and a protein bar. (Maybe left over Halloween candy for the rest in line.)

One of those pop-out camp chairs (if you have leg or back problems).

A book or magazine to read.

CD walkman with good tunes.

Anything else? Please list.

[knowbody0]

1. little book "the constitution and bill of rights"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Cell phone so you can call 1-866-OUR-VOTE if they screw with you.

[Shopaholic]

3. And don't forget to get the official numbers list to report any

problems with voting! And take your cell phone so you can make a call if you need to!

[Webster Green]

4. Heroin

Just kidding
}(

[dweller]

10. yeh, pass a fat joint up and down the line.

NOT advocating anything here...

dp

[phish420]

11. well, Im advocating

Imagine a day when we can freely do as such. Mmmmmm...

[debatepro]

22. First aid kit.

in case things get out of hand.

[Lex]

27. OMG. I hope a first aid kit isn't needed!

But I suppose one should always be prepared!

[grasswire]

5. a handful of kazoos

...pass them out and start a little hootenanny of all-American songs.

Bubbles?

Order pizza?

I have no idea. We vote by mail in this state, and miss the social aspects.

[Hog lover]

20. Damn lucky you vote by mail

Even early voting times here run up to three hours (but will be worth it if we get the Bushco Fascist Regime out).

I personally have to vote with a bunch of illiterate Repukes - I can spot 'em a mile away. Mean, snotty looking people or rednecks.

[Lex]

6. Videocamera.

.
I think Michael Moore has said take your videocamera (if you have one) so you can film things if people are turned away or if there are inappropriate cops standing around. That sort of thing.

[DemBones DemBones]

7. Sunscreen, for the alternative to rain. Laptop, maybe, though

I wouldn't be able to surf.

Edit: Actually, I'll probably take a quilt I'm working on. People get friendly when they see someone sewing, there's less tension. I sew in waiting rooms all the time.

[Technowitch]

8. Best thing of all: VOTING EARLY!

*grins*

Already voted as a permanent absentee voter here in California. Felt great, dropping off my ballot a week and a half ago.

Kerry and the Dems, straight ticket.

:D

[Lex]

26. I voted early too! Same thing--Kerry and the Dem straight ticket.

I just want the Tuesday voters to be comfortable in case there's a long line!

[gkdmaths]

9. Postage

for the envelope.

[zaj]

12. Being in a line of people wearing Kerry/Edwards buttons.

[troubleinwinter]

13. All that undistributed/left over/excess Halloween candy

Pass it down the line.

[Lex]

14. Excellent idea!

Make friends while you're in line. You might find out they are all Kerry voters!

[baltodemvet]

15. Thinking about the Kerry win n/t

[meganmonkey]

16. Latest issue of Mothe Jones...

With a pic of a soldier on the cover with the words
"HELL NO - America's Soldiers Speak Out Against The Iraq War"

Not-so-subtle, but not 'campaign paraphanalia' either

;)

[smbolisnch]

17. Creme Brulee Cappuccino!

I'm going before work at 6am.....I'll need it! And of course my cell with my "emergency" numbers!

[Hog lover]

18. Voter Bill of Rights and voter hot-line numbers - eom

[NastyRiffraff]

19. Here's my list...not necessarily in order

Laptop
Camera
Kerry button
Knitting (hey, there's a baby coming!)
Snacks (with enough to hand out)
CD player
Microrecorder
Something to read
Cell phone
Rain poncho if raining

[PartyPooper]

21. A chamber pot.

Just in case you have to pee.

;-)

[smbolisnch]

23. I live 25 feet away

The grade school is across the street from my front door. If I have to go that bad, I will have my husband hold my spot in line!

[BDawg]

24. Something to Make the Process Easier

Some Republican schill posted an ad in the local free paper entitled "Don't let the liberal News and Record tell you who to vote for." He then proceeded to list all of the conservative candidates below.

It's so hard to know all of the small time candidates' positions. It was nice of this guy to help me know who not to vote for.

[Lex]

25. Yes, that reminds me. I did take my "sample ballot" with me

and had already filled it out so I wouldn't have any problem remembering who to vote for in the local races when it came time to mark the real ballot. Judicial races and like that.

[Hamlette]

28. Radio...to hear the news. Should keep you pumped!
