I know all things election are supposed to go in the mass election thread but, I think this is seperate enough that it warrants it's own thread. All I want to know is how long you stood in line to vote nothing more.


It took me 2.5 hours to vote.

Haha, I did vote in Milwaukee. It was less impressive than a HOW DID WE, LIKE, TOTALLY DO? comment card at TGI Friday's...

Thats all there was to the Milwaukee ballot, I voted this morning. I think most of the initiatives and other issues were delt with during the primaries and mayoral races earlier this year.

And I of course voted For Mr Feingold. I cant wait to see how poorly Mr Tim "I havent read the Patriot act but I think its all great stuff" Michaels does.

Either you're lieing about voting (which would make you a loser), didn't vote yet, or your polling station was busted. Nader isn't a candidate for president in GA.

MICHAEL BADNARIK is the Libertarian candidate for GA.

That's funny, because last time I checked YOU COULD WRITE IN A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, EVEN ON A TOUCHSCREEN MACHINE THAT IS RIGGED TO GIVE BUSH THE STATE ANYHOW.

Oops, I forgot about the primaries/local elections. Yeah, those are when most propositions and such are held.

About 15 minutes between parking, signining in, and actually going into the voting booth. But I went really early.

Yeah, I just saw that. According to those polling numbers, New Jersey is the deciding state with its 15 electoral votes.

This election is certainly dramatic. :)

There were tons of people at my polling location, but about 6 lines seperating all the letters of the alphabet... mine just happened to be the only line with nobody in it, so it took about 5 minutes.

edit - This is Tampa, FL.

+1 Bush

Suck it down haters.

You are aware that the gay marriage ban would also likely make civil unions illegal as well, aren't you? Are you also aware that it is already illegal for gay people to get married in GA?

Ugh. Why do I bother. I need to move to another country or possibly even planet.

Walked to the place, wasn't sure if I was in the right place due to the rather small crowd. Walked in, took maybe 2 minutes for them to find me in the list after I showed them my IDs. Took about a minute to decide who to vote for, then spent about 3 minutes talking to a newspaper reporter outside.

Placed my vote around 8:50am. My polling place is all of a three minute walk from my house; I spent the time en route and back singing "James K. Polk" by They Might Be Giants. No wait, friendly folks, and North Carolina's reliable "draw in the middle of an arrow" method of voting. Go Kerry! Go Bowles!

Mecklenburg County uses push-button voting. Toggle selections, then hit the big red encased button to cast.

The news said that he was voting in Crawford, and then going back to DC. Did that change?

They have said it on the radio at least 5 times already, so I guess his plans changed. I'm gonna see if I can verify that with some other source.

Sure they're reporting it this morning, but I don't know that it was in the plans yesterday. I guess he wants to get that extra 0.01% a stop at this point will gain.

Yeah...that bastard is here:

Cleveland news:

Candidates wrap up weary campaign season

COLUMBUS -- President Bush landed in Columbus Tuesday morning for a last-minute visit to the state.

His campaign says he’s headed somewhere in the city, but won’t say where.

I hope he comes to the campus so I can boo him.

^^^ (JJS) Fair enough, though I thought I heard it last night as well. It may have been late though.

He's going to DC after the stop here though.


edit->cynical: it's probably to fuck traffic up and keep people from getting to the (already long from reports) lines at the polls

Seattle doesn't have any exciting measures this time around... well, maybe the Monorail recall. Too bad I'm now in Renton.

+1 Kerry, Gregoire, Patty "I <3 Osama" Murray (bleeding heart here)
+1 Reed (So I can claim to be all hardcore, voting a split-ticket... when I'm really just following local paper reccomendations)
-1 Anything put up by Tim Eyman; why do people still listen to this embezlling asshole?
-1 Monorail recall (in spirit)
Click to expand...

We should make an initiative to exile Eyman from the state.

+1 Kerry -- Me
+1 Kerry -- Girlfriend
+1 Kerry -- Mom
+1 Kerry -- Dad

I just voted! Queens, NY here. The whole process took like 20 minutes--the drive from my house, the parking, no wait to get into the booth, and bam. First time voter, 20 years old here. The whole thing's cool until you reach the crabby lady.

I feel weird cause my dad helped me figure out the machine as a voted. But hey, that's why I'm a firsttime voter right...
