Also the amount of political ads on TV today are just  There's a whole lot for Secretary of State, namely from the Republican candidate, and as you would expect they all revolve around  VOTER FRAUD, DEMOCRATS ARE EAGERLY ALLOWING IT

I voted early this year, taking a weekend to go back to my home district and visit the family, then voting early Monday morning on the first day of early voting, so no voting for me today technically. My home district is in Kansas, and the whole place was staffed by old white people with most of the voters at that time being the same. I didn't get any trouble, but then again I'm a clean-cut white dude so... Ended up voting for Davis for governor and Schodorf for secretary of state, as well as Orman for Senate. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to toss the shithead Brownback and his "cutting taxes increases revenue" magical thinking, but Kobach is gonna be tight and I get the feeling Roberts will win handily  I resigned myself early on to Roberts winning still, but Kobach is loving toxic and I want to see him go. At least maybe if Brownback goes, it'll send a message to future Republicans in Kansas and elsewhere to get the gently caress off the tax cut bandwagon?

Whoa it only took my wife like 20 minutes to get in and out of the fire station to vote this morning in SC where we only get one day to vote. I probably spent an hour in line last year for early voting in NC.  edit: Also I haven't seen/heard a single political ad this season. This is what I get for installing adblock edge, listening to public radio and watching Netflix.

In Orange County Florida we have a ballot question on whether or not candidates for county offices can have their party identification on the ballot. Apparently there are people that believe this will inject  PARTISANSHIP in races and will turn Orange County into Washington, DC. On the bright side there was no line when I voted the other day and I wasn't hassled. Down with the creature that calls itself Rick Scott.

Just voted in Oklahoma. Business was pretty brisk and smooth at my polling station, but I'm sure my district will re-elect Inhofe 70-30 and Mary Fallin 60-40.

Happy election day, y'all. Remember to vote, choose scotch, get a designated driver right now ahead of time, and always remember: in single-candidate races, the answer is "lizard people."

They should have a lot they are trying to mobilize, you can make calls, get directed to a walk, or possibly told where to drive to the polls

This was my first time voting in Florida, and there are a hell of a lot of local races I couldn't find any information about. If everyone in southwest Florida dies of Dengue fever next year because the wrong guy got elected to the mosquito board, I guess it will be my fault, though admittedly it won't be a huge loss to the nation.

Any Virginia voters know anything about the tax exempt status for war widows thing? Someone was talking about it in another thread about how it's a scam (pretty much everything our GOP does here is) but I'd like to know more about it.

For those curious, here's the list of those states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.

More bad news for Oklahoma Democrats, their candidate for US Representative in the 2nd CD has died in a car crash. Earl Emmitt Everett was an 81 year old school teacher and Korean War veteran.

We moved a few months ago and I was the only one in the house who registered to vote in this town. Which is fine by me, knowing my parents they probably both would've voted straight ticket Republican, because Democrats are communists/want to make Christianity illegal.

In case of reaching sub-300 difference in votes to get funding for a recount for a more important election, your ballot will get tossed.

Do I have to vote for all of the options? I'm planning on going this afternoon, but I know all of the other races are decided already. All I really care about is the local referendums. I mean, loving Appalachian Trail himself is running unopposed.

I did learn once that you have to put at least one mark somewhere on the ballot or the Diebold machine won't take it.

You don't have to; if you want to be 100% sure your vote will get counted, the first time and second time without the effort needed to affirm your intent for a third time, just fill in all choices.

I always vote the person with the best name for weird elected positions that should probably be appointed. Except the judges which I leave blank.
