Vote No on 8 Check-In

[Ellen Forradalom]

I voted NO on 8 today. My only regret is that the ballot had no option for HELL NO.

Anyone else?

[dubeskin]

1. Agreed

Although, the supporters are really starting to piss me off. I honestly hope it doesn't pass, 1) so that equality reigns supreme and 2) so that I can shove it in their face.

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. Aggressive little punks, they are

I had a confrontation with someone who was planting Yes on 8 signs on shopping mall property. I uprooted the signs and he started yelling at me. I told him free speech on HIS property, not MALL property. Jeez.

[Joanie Baloney]

2. LOL!

I wrote in "Hell No!" on my ballot! Ha!

How anyone can READ that proposition and then still vote yes is beyond me. sigh

[Gregorian]

3. Wow. I said Hell No just as I read the subject line.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw that you were saying the same thing. I voted NO on 8 several weeks ago with my absentee.

Too many morons. I'm starting to get down. I don't think Obama can make changes that will actually make the big big differences. But he's the best we've got. Maybe hate will change to love.

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. Hate will always be with us, I fear

But so will love.

4. I'm in SD, not CA, but I just wanted

to pop in and let you fine folks know how much I hope Prop 8 goes DOWN. If for some reason it passes, I hope you fight harder than ever to get it rescinded and shove it in the face of the hateful bigots. I wish I could vote against it myself! We had a similar measure here in South Dakota two years ago. It passed, unfortunately, but, given that it's SD, that really wasn't a surprise at all.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

5. Done!

My Mom and newphew also voted no. In fact, I talked to my nephew this morning and he ws vry fired up about voting -- said that No on 8 was, in some ways, more important than the presidential race! (He's 30 and straight.)

No to descrimination!!

[Ellen Forradalom]

7. I agree, actually

8 is a pointed act of spite.

[kestrel91316]

9. Hell no here, too!

[amdezurik]

10. about a week ago, and just checked my ballot

s'all good :)

[mike_c]

11. HELL NO!

That's what I said internally while quietly filling in the bubble.

[liberaldiva]

12. Voted Today!

This San Diegan proudly voted for Obama/Biden and a giant HELL TO THE NO on prop 8!

[Irishonly]

13. Agreed

Three no votes here

[Iggo]

14. Voted NO Sunday morning...

Hit the streets yelling "Hell NO" on Sunday night.

[ellius101]

15. This is a great ad.

Too bad it just came out yesterday. Not sure if its playing though, havent seen it on commercial breaks

[keepCAblue]

17. "yes on 8" scream "religious bigotry!!!" in response to ad.

These people are unfuckingbelievable. They can compare GLBTQs to Hitler, but scream "bigotry" when the truth about them strikes too close to home???!!!!

The Yes on 8 camp is crying religious bigotry over the Courage Campaign ad that depicts Mormons raiding the home of a lesbian couple and tearing up their marriage license. Allegedly the ad is engaging in hideous levels of religious bigotry and intolerance.

[Ellen Forradalom]

18. Yeah. Gays are the "anti-species" is A-OK by them

but they get to vote on other peoples' marriages. :puke:

[FreeState]

16. Voted NO! n/t

[LeftCoast]

19. My husband and I just voted NO

Biggest turnout I've seen at my local polling place. Hope we can kill this nasty proposition!

[Ellen Forradalom]

20. I hope so too

Thanks everyone for your NO votes. Well-done.

[JackBeck]

21. I live on the other coast, but I'd just like to say

When Proposition 8 fails today, I think we'll be seeing federal recognition of gay marriage within the next 15-20 years.

[Ellen Forradalom]

22. From your lips to God's ears.

[beaglelover]

23. No on 8

My partner and I both voted NO on 8.

[One_Life_To_Give]

24. Wish I could

I had hoped that this would go down in a landslide. But afraid I will have to settle for a squeaker. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you on the left coast.

[DarkTirade]

25. Same here. I'm on the other coast, but I got my fingers crossed for the west coasters.

[Duncan Grant]

26. My husband and I voted no.

If the proposition passes, this fag is going to be crawling up some right-wing fundy Christian, Catholic and Mormon noses.

[JackBeck]

29. We'll be thinking good thoughts for you guys tonight.

:loveya: :grouphug:

[Duncan Grant]

30. Thanks, Jack!

You wouldn't believe how ugly it's been. Yesterday, there were 5 cars with "Yes on 8" signs driving up and down Market St. honking their horns and taunting people on the sidewalk.

And from what I hear, it's even worse in Sacramento. :loveya: :hi:

[JackBeck]

31. This really breaks my heart.

I hope we all see the day when this type of bullying is finally put to rest.

:loveya:

[EFerrari]

27. Me, my mom and two sons. There are only "NO" signs out here

in my corner of the Sunset District of San Francisco. Mom is in San Jose, sons in San Fran and in Antioch, respectively.

Mom is 77 and I regret she won't be here for another 77.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. I wanted a FUCK no option.

When I voted, I held down the marker HARD for my no vote.

Anyone know a good website to monitor the returns on 8?

[Kerrytravelers]

33. Here you go, hon...

Secretary of State website

[Kerrytravelers]

32. I believe I am more proud of my vote against Prop 8 than any other vote I cast today.

I think I can say the same for Mr. kt.

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. I certainly am

8 needs all the help — or hurt — it can get. I was wishing it were on a ballot card all to itself, enlarged to fit the entire card, so I could draw that line BIG.

[mikelgb]

34. Check

[cui bono]

35. HELL NO!!!

But on my way to work there was a group of about 8 people on a freeway overpass holding up Yes on 8 signs. :grr:

[Chulanowa]

36. I voted in spirit

I'm Oregonian, not Californian.

No on 8, yes to equality!

[skygazer]

37. Resounding NO on 8 here

It will be a bittersweet victory if we win the White House but lose on 8.

[Maat]

38. Proudly voted 'no' over a week ago (n/t)!

[K8-EEE]

39. Me, my husband, my mom and dad said HELL NO!

From the SF Valley!

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Yo!

Despite the worst efforts of the mini-truck with the large "Yes on 8" sign in the bed, parked across the street from my polling site — all day.

(That's the second truck like that I've seen in two days. Leads me to believe there may be an army of them with one at each polling site.)

[abirdinthehand]

42. 3 straight folks from our household...

standing strong in support of our gay friends and loved ones. To hell with the prejudiced, the haters, the bigots, and the holier-than-thows!!!!

[driver8]

43. 2 No votes from our house!! n/t

[GRLMGC]

44. 2 Nos here

I went to In n Out today and heard some nasty looking women flapping her gums about traditional marriage and Yes on 8. I really wanted to throw my drink in her face but controlled myself. It just pumped me up to cancel out her vote!

[alittlelark]

45. We both voted 'no'... our neighborhood is 20-1 'no'

I cannot fathom that it would pass.

[mrbarber]

46. Yes on 8 people are bigots.

And alwasys the first to whine and complain when anyone calls them out on it.

The truth hurts, doesn't it, you fuckers?

Wish I could help, but I'm in NC. The Fiance and I (both bisexual) are sending you good vibes.

[Duncan Grant]

51. And a lot of them are Democrats!

Kinda makes one all cold and prickly inside, doesn't it?

[RetiredTrotskyite]

52. That Needs to Be Pointed Out...

and needs to keep being pointed out. We help to elect these people and once they win, they give us the finger.

[Ellen Forradalom]

54. Exactly.

[Lucy]

47. Voted No

So did my brother, mother, and 2 sisters.

[AntiFascist]

48. My husband and I voted NO! n/t

[Beam Me Up]

49. My boy friend and I voted NO on 8!

:headbang: :headbang:

[KitchenWitch]

50. I voted NO on 8 two weeks ago during early voting

I was not sure if I would be discharged from the hospital this soon.

I am really sad right now.

[bliss_eternal]

53. Another absentee ballot voter here.

:hi:

[EFerrari]

55. My whole extended family votes absentee. Where can we see these ballots counted?

Does anybody know?

[bliss_eternal]

56. Sorry to respond to this so late, sfexpat.

...I've done some digging to try to get an answer to this question, but nothing yet. When I find anything out, I'll let you know.
I've heard they will be counted, just no definite answers as to when (or how long they expect it to take).

:hug::hi:
