The Virginia polling place was empty, only one other person there when I arrived. Only 3 items on the ballot, in and out in less than 2 minutes. I'll bet they burn the paper ballot we filled in and then resubmit it all with democrat selected though.

When I got to my Maryland precinct, it was slightly busier, something like 450 illegal aliens were getting assistance in reading the ballot and I had to wait until they recalibrated the machines to "English", but overall it still worked out.

I forgot my Pennsylvania ID, but they accepted a smile and a flash of boob instead, so I managed to get that vote in just before noon. Not much going on in my ward there, but I voted anyway.

On the way home, I stopped by my West Virginia voting place, but first ran over the republican 'sample ballot' guy. I pretend to be an Australian for this place so they don't ask for my ID.

I skipped my D.C. vote because I was running late, but I had already sent in a few absentees anyway so missing won't bother me too much.

Anyway... voting was exciting today.

Mailed in absentee 2 weeks ago. First time I've done that. I vote in all major elections always have.

My mom was our precinct election captain when I was growing up at my elementary school....lol

It was kinda cool....she dug it. Got paid 17 dollars or some such crap.

Translation: I voted absentee but I was able to make it to the bathroom by myself today!!!!!

No issues. This was my first election since I changed addresses, so I was pleased there was no hassle. The machines were as I remembered them from the last time I voted in Ohio.

My problem with the machine is that I can't figure out what the mechanism is for casting a write-in vote, something I dearly wanted to do at the top of the ballot. Instead I just left it blank. I have found in the past that when you refuse to cast a vote in a particular race, the machines literally do not compute.



Sir, you have not completed your ballot.

No, it's complete. I didn't want to vote for any of the governor candidates.

But your ballot is incomplete.

See above.

Go back to page one. There's something you forgot to do.

Listen, I don't want to vote for Tweedledum, Tweedledumber, or the Green. My refusing to vote for any of them is itself a vote. Let me leave, please.

If you vote now, you CANNOT go back and change your mind. Are you prepared to live with the recriminations and the consequences?

Oh, more than you know.

Are you SURE??

I am pressing the green button now. See you in 2016, maybe even for the primary if someone runs against Hillary.

You suck.

:coot:

Wrong.

The first two sentences and final sentence were true, the rest was rubbish.

 

[RjThoughts]

I hit it in between the old people and the 9-5 ers. They ran out of "I Voted" stickers. I had more problems reading the ballot than I did signing in.

So you were that illegal in front of me then? Next time just ask and I'll hand you a pre-filled in ballot.

Ha ha ha

Yeah I'm the illegal that's been voting at the SAME Lutheran church for 32 years!

Oh good, half hour until the polls close and I can go begin hacking machines and destroying the paper ballots.

They should have suspected the camera in my sunglasses would let me photograph the original to have printed by the thousand. Whee! We'll have 50000 % turnout in my precinct.

 

[someoneyouknow]

I think the entire process lasted five minutes.

Walked in, waited in line for a minute or so, gave them my name, signed the book, voted, walked out.

I was number 806 at my polling place which for a midterm election is very respectable. I was 1,1xx in the Presidential election.

The machines up here sure are different from the ones in Texas. In Texas, the machine just asked me over and over if I knew I'd somehow voted for a Democrat.

The #BlockTheVote initiative seems do be doing its job here in Houston. Story after story about folks being turned away from the polls. Even some white folks!

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

One electronic. No one was using it. 5 people in line. 5 seats were uncontested. Voted against all the constitution changes- ain't nobody got time for dat.

 

[dg]

Absentee due to work travels. I did not received a sticker which is fucked up.

That's standard in Chicago.

Voting was painless. Only one person in line in front of me to check in and then in a minute or two, I was walking back to my car.

 

[MNGuy]

Walked in, got my ballot, all the little voting stalls were in use. If we wanted, we could use the tables, so I sat down, the SO and newly turned eighteen Rugrat joined me at the table. The old guy at the next table laughed at me as I demonstrated how to vote for Rugrat by closing your eyes and picking at random. But actually selected the right candidates that us smert people voted for.

 

[Bidin~Time]

I walked and chatted with all the poll workers; all of whom I've known since long before the Dead Sea ever became ill, voted and chatted with various friends and neighbors on my way out of the polling place.

 

[ShavedHed]

I always drop my ballot in the box outside.

One of these days I'll have to go in. I really want a sticker!

 

[MonaLittle]

In Chicago, don't you get to vote in every booth at the polling place?

How do you think Obama got in office?

 

[thør]

How do you think Obama got in office?

Michelle spent a lot of time in the booth!

 

[RawHumor]

Mine was pretty crowded. I got there about 8:00 AM and had to wait in line.

What pissed a lot of people off is that the intersection right next to my voting place had construction start today, so everyone had to drive half a mile out of their way to get in and out.

We didn't get stickers because our polling place fucking SUCKED and seemed to be staffed by the walking dead. Everyone working there was old as hell. And the gf got a computer and I got a paper ballot and that's not fair. All in all it was terrible and I'm pissed about it.
