what the hell. |

wisper, if the "P" stands for something other than "pancakes," he's just fucking with you. |
i've become such a political junkie, it's ridiculous. i'm all tense and taking it personally. so many people voting early in some places. day after day, they've been waiting in lines, sometimes for hours. i can't imagine everyone getting to vote if they didn't allow early voting in these places; if they all had to do it in one day. this is amazing. have i mentioned that i registered to vote and actually voted almost 2 weeks ago by absentee? i have to confess that it wasn't exactly a satisfying experience but i didn't really ever expect it to be. i still believe my one vote, especially here in washington, really doesn't matter. it's statistically insignificant. i just couldn't sit this one out. |

Everyone's vote COMBINED is not. |
i'm manifesting a large zit on my jowl. |
I plan to get up early tomorrow and vote before I go in to the doctors. I'm nervous about this election. I allayed my fears for a good hour today making little graphs and charts to have up on the wall at my election party. I just want it to be decided tomorrow, not in courts months later like last time. Yes siree, this election will be interesting. |
Get your popcorn early folks -- This go-round is gonna be the Show of Shows! And Congrats in Advance, Dave, on casting your first ballot in an election! :) Rock That Vote, Baby! - RC |
I'M A GEORGIA VOTER (on a picture of a peach...because you know, georgia peaches) |
it's the end of an era. like, voting is for old people, man. you're old now. |
|
|
you too? fuck man, i thought it was anxiety of clearing rent by $40, but maybe its the election! shit. its a painful motherfucker too. and has 3 siblings in the same area. like all at once. i dont understand absentee for some people? how hard is it to go vote? After dropping shorty at daycare, i went to the church at the end of the block. Spent 5 minutes doing my business. No line. Thanked the old folks for their service. Left. Work on time. Easy peezy. |
voter turnout = bye bye incumbant. if more than 70% of the eligible populus voted assholes like Bush would never get elected. |
I pretty much rolled out of bed and down to the polling place. I was the only person under sixty in there, and there was no wait. Now I see why they didn't want me as a poll worker, I would have terrified everyone coming in to vote. Or something. Anyway. Yeah. I hate these optical scan things. I miss our punchcard ballots. These ballots, you fill out the bubbles, stick them in a machine that looks like a paper shredder, and buh-bye. No receipt. No nothing. Way to encourage me that my vote's going to get counted. I, too, have a manifestation of zits, and it's very annoying. |

Also, while I was at the polling place, a man arrived and gave his name, and the election worker said "you are absentee." "Yeah, I never got it," he says. "Oh, ok," election official says, and hands him a ballot. Uhm...shouldn't that have at least been a provisional ballot or something? |
Oh, and ask Dave what kind of fresh hell he put me through with voting this year. Jerkface. (I'm proud of him.) |
|
And that was only because of the gay marriage issue, and when that gets cleared up i wonder if anything else will move me to vote again. Of course we have slightly less pressing issues to worry about than you folks. Tell us of the fresh hell!! |
