Did You Photograph Your Vote? Post it Here!
I did! I was so proud to vote that I snuck out my iPhone and snapped a shot for posterity.

2. I tried, i live in Texas and i caused a big ruckus.
For some reason they don't allow pictures to be taken of the voter screen, all hell broke loose when i pulled my camera out. We use touch screen machines here, and of course it doesn't matter what the screen says your vote goes into the tubes and is lost forever.

But i still can't get a good answer to why one can't take a photo of their vote, no one could explain it all they said was it's against the law. Go figure!

Peace!

5. I did!
I voted last week, but never get tired of posting this blurry photo. It's even the wallpaper on my phone!

11. 1000 people in line at 8 am in Conway NH. 8000 people live here
I stared at Barack's name for a few and shed a happy tear. Saw all my friends pulling into the parking lot to vote. GOBAMA!
