[Bill McBlueState]

1. nothing on the ballot in my town

Sorry! :)

Thanks for doing your part, though.

[nickinSTL]

2. no voting in my district today.

usually we have something...but not this time. :shrug:

[atomic-fly]

3. I used Diebold I hope mine counts

In Va.

[we can do it]

36. i hope it does, too

We are still using paper ballots in my area of Ohio, but not sure about tabulation. Had to vote for the Election Reform Issues.

[unblock]

4. DONE. another vote for corzine

straight democratic line.

[nradisic]

5. My wife & I just voted in NJ

Seems to be a huge turnout. Full parking lot at the school and the old timers signing people said it was a very high turnout so far this morning. Good news for Dems.

Both the wife and I voted straight Democratic Party line. I'm convinced our next Governor will be John Corzine.
NJ BLUE!

[Richardson08]

6. I voted for Bloomberg and yes on prop 2 and no on prop 1

[robbedvoter]

39. I am sure Bush will appreciate your help in his taking over NYC

[robbedvoter]

45. here's your NY Post buddies happy for ya:

[meegbear]

7. Why yes. Yes I did.

I was the 7th person in my district to vote, thank you very much.

[FSogol]

8. Yup. Go Kaine, Byrne, Deeds, and Marsden n/t

[Mark E. Smith]

9. Polls Not Opened Yet In California

But when I do vote today it will be a big "NO!" on every single one of Steroid Arnie's miserable initiatives.

Spent the last 4 weekends walking the streets of my precinct handing out literature. Almost everyone I spoke to agreed that Arnold and his damned proposals suck.

We're shutting the goon down today.


"Oh!" gasped the surprised President. "You really are the Gropinator!"

[Darkhawk32]

10. Just some tax referendums on the ballot, but I'm voting later anyway. n/t

[puckish]

11. Me too!

Kaine, Deeds, Byrne, and a write-in for my husband for a seat where only a Republican was running.

Took the kids with me and let them press the button as I explained who we were voting for and why. Now they know that in this house, the Democrats are the good guys. :)

[ps1074]

20. welcome to DU

:hi:

[puckish]

32. Thank you!

I've lurked for quite some time, but rarely have anything to say. Bad for upping my post count so no one mistakes me for a freeper. ;)

[newyawker99]

35. Hi puckish!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[puckish]

46. Hey, newyawker!

Thanks for the welcome! :hi:

Wonder how Kaine's doin'?

[npincus]

12. you betcha

[Clark2008]

13. Nothing to vote for here - but I hope Virginia, California

and Jersey Dems are out in force!

:hi:

[The Witch]

14. YES!

Thanks to the kid outside the Vienna Metro Station who gave me my "Republicans: Do Not Disturb - I Voted for Democrats!" sign!

[AlCzervik]

15. i will be shortly, got my sample ballot filled out and i'm ready to go

[Lowell]

16. I voted

Our races were strictly local. We had several council seats open and the mayor's race. I hate it when they say it is a non-partisan race. It is just an excuse for the candidates to hide their party affiliations. We had a republican mayor and a democratic challenger. I voted for the democrat, naturally. For the rest of the ballot I simply voted for the challengers. We need fresh blood in Florida.

[Fleshdancer]

17. not yet...

I'm going at 10. Here in Texas, I need to vote down the ridiculous proposition that would declare gay marriage unconstitutional. :eyes:

[sendero]

18. Yes..

... in Texas, there are 9 proposed constitutional amendments, I voted against every one of them.

In Dallas, there is the "strong mayor" proposal, I voted against it.

There are several other issues in Dallas, I voted for some and against others.

After I stuffed my ballot into the counting machine, it said I was the 24th voter. So much for turnout.

[melissinha]

19. after work

Got a Gay Marriage Ban to vanquish (I wish).

[calimary]

21. I'm about to. Gotta get the kids off first, though.

But the apathy bug won't find any friends here today. I'm eager to do everything and anything I can to make sure arnold has a bad day. And, thereby, a bad whatever's-left-of-a-short-stay-in-Sacramento.

[otohara]

22. Last Tues. in Colorado - Home of Yes on C

take that Grover Norquist....

[ElsewheresDaughter]

23. yuppers...at 7:35

[BlueStateBlue]

24. Yep. Another Corzine vote

[Broken Acorn]

25. Voted Absentee last week

All votes against Arnold and his Repug/Corporate/Facist regime.

[RebelOne]

26. I'm not. I am in Cherokee County, Georgia and there is not one

Democrat on the ballots. I won't vote for a Republican.

[NNadir]

27. Yes. Straight Democratic.

I guess I'm never going to be a swing voter.

:bounce:

[Kool Kitty]

28. Sure did.

Go Jonny Go!!!!

[NYFlip]

29. I will be voting

Straight Democrat in NYC. Really good news my Dad whose somewhat conservative (not neocon) just voted for Corzine and straight Dem. He voted for Regan and Bush the first time (Kerry the second) I hope he's converted for good.

[godai]

30. Yes, Prince William Co., VA

Bit of a line with maybe 50 voters in it. I swear I could pick out the repubs...most of the people in line, seemed happy, misshapen heads, etc.

Got signed in and then went to the 'activator' spot. I asked the lady there what an activator was and she said that she didn't know!
They put a card with a chip on it in this machine and then it is 'activated', I presume. Next to the machines which were ABC (anybody but cheney??) Edge machines. There's a box underneath, probably a PC, which hopefully counts the votes correctly. I was tempted to try to insert my activator card twice, to see what would happen but the lady there was watching and took the card when it was ejected.

Checked the ABC Edge website and the company is Sequoia Voting Systems. Their claims sound OK:
-Proprietary firmware on closed system prevents hacker access
-Ballots securely stored on multiple forms of memory
-Ballots can be printed to accommodate hand recounts

We still need some type of ID that the voter receives with a code number which can be checked that the vote was correctly recorded.

[Greyskye]

31. By absentee in CA

Did my part in voting against most of Arnies props. My teacher wife persuaded me to vote in favor of Prop 74, which extends the probationary period for public school teachers from two to five years.

Also, my little area in the suburbs of Sacramento is trying to become a city. I kind of have mixed emotions about this...

[mikelewis]

33. I will be and have been encouraging others to do so - even Republicans

[Lavender Brown]

34. Of course - but unfortunately,

Republicans are running unopposed for almost everything in my district.

[Freddie Stubbs]

37. Nope

We have an election next Tuesday.

[rniel]

38. One thing I'm glad about still

We vote on punch cards in idaho. Doesn't really matter though because it's a republican stronghold anyway.

[robbedvoter]

40. I voted democratic in NYC - but 100million dollars will cancel it

Some stupidity too

[obreaslan]

41. I will vote tonight after work.

Unfortunately, I think throwing a coin in a fountain and making a wish will be just as effective given that my vote won't count since I vote Dem.

:grr:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

42. From California. Damn right I did!

:patriot: :patriot:

[ihelpu2see]

43. done im on the ballot for Board of Finance as Dem!!!

[Suziq]

44. Another Vote . . . .

for Jon Corzine here!

[justiceischeap]

47. Voted in VA, Diebold, Still wearing my "Voted" sticker.

Guess I can take it off now.
