I didn't see this thread before posting in the CIJS one.. Ethan and i took my son's gf with us to vote today. It was her first time since she just turned 21. It was a pretty cool experience being able to be there with her. I am proud of her. We had no lines when we voted, and everything was very calm.

Looks like north carolina (i hope goes blue), virginia, colorado and florida
are going to be tight and possibly significant for the electoral count ( if we get steals from the the blue states from the villains who can only when if they cheat.) even more significant. Damn. Hoping that there are not big steals from OHIO, PA, IOWA, Nevada or New Mexico Come on Latino vote and women. |

i am just so ready to start forgetting about mittens and his whole pack of rabid right wing racist homophobes. Obama will be victorious.

One of my students said the school by his house had a pretty long line. This is in the South Bay region of Northern California. More people in CA vote by mail than in person. I imagine in my neighborhood it's way more than half. Also a lot of people in my neighborhood are here on VISA's or have green cards, but are not citizens. Anyway, I just breezed in and out. They seemed a little disorganized. It will be a long day for them.
One of my students is volunteering. I was so pleased that he wanted to. It was all his idea. He learned so much in the training. I read that there will be a 70% turnout in CA. Mail-in voting for all and online voter registration works. I like voting in person. During my college years and for some years after, I went home to Ohio every year to vote. My dad and I would go and be one of the first in line. Then we'd go out and get breakfast. I would hate to give up in person voting. But maybe someday I will. By now, my dad and mom will have tottered off to their local library to do in person voting. And then they will go out for breakfast. My dad is a Republican, but voted for Gore and Kerry. He said of W. -- "I can't vote for that drunken frat boy." Mom says he has not said who he is voting for this year. Silence usually means it's a Democrat. Dad is not happy about crossing over to what is for him the dark side. But he does it on occasion because he is a thinking Republican. They exist. I think he likes that Obama got us out of Iraq. My dad is a veteran of Korea. He hates all wars. He goes to the VFW seven days a week for happy hour, and he's a proud Republican. But if you want to go to war, my dad will not vote for you or support you. I imagine there are a lot of vets like that. |

We voted #'s 571 and 572 in our precinct.
Ami is now off to work and I'm in front of the boobtube watching MSNBC. I can talk and yell if necessary and she doesn't have to hear me LOL

I'm going to share something that sadly represents an experience similar to what Rockinonahigh described. Quote:

I'm glad she will not remain invisible on this matter. Some of you know Stephanie. She's ok with us sharing her story.

I was in line minding my own buisness,not discusing a thing with anyone while theire was a general discusion about some of the things to vote on.I definatly don't look like the average man or woman wich gets me comments and looks I just dont pay any atintion to anymore so they get the silent treatment from me.
It was a woman that said that to my surprise,I live in a neighbor hood that is sort of anti gay by 50/50.Obviously this person has no idea how many of our family do live in this place,also she is ultra right wing religious nut case that thinks if anyone isnt with her on her views they arent human.One of the older women who works the polls gave her a look that would have and did shut her up.Most times I get this crap from men so I just ignore them like I did this person and went about my own buisness,the less crediblity you give then the smaller they look. |

Ty Daywalker.
I am one of the fue people I know who go about this life not careing what others think about my outside aperence,many times I get the sir yes sir thing more times than I can count,in reality I could care less if i'm calle sir or m'am.I have a visable moustash,enough hair on my face even tho its fair and fine to have to shave ,my voice is deep,i'm always going to walk like John Wayne.This is who I am and will always be,if it makes someone uncomfortable it's not my issue unless they make it so.When I dont reply to crap from some people it's not that I don't care to,I just will not give them validation by takeing the bait of an argument.I dont stop what i'm doing,I don't go away,I don't stop being myself,I also will not disapeer.But,the first time one of them puts a hand on me or harms my family all bets are off.

I worked long and hard today, came home, dropped my rent check to the manager just so I could ask her where the exact location was I needed to vote at...with that said, I found it, voted and am happy it's a done deal for me.
