Based on the line at our school (polling place) it looks like the turnout will be better than predicted.
-
What? The turnout at your polling place or are you speaking nationally?
I know some statistics experts that would take issue with your prediction. :)
-
Yup...as I promised the Union Steward (and loyal Democrat...)...I'll be there at 8am to null out his vote :D
-
Voted Saturday.
-
line of about 6 ppl with about 12 on the new "touch screen" voting machines at 0730
voting went quick, though it sounded like a video game :)
sticking around to chase off the demi-crats took alittle longer .. LOL
-
I voted already.
no problems with voting machines, chad, drugs, or any other problem related to florida :)
-
I voted in Broward County Florida - new touch screen is very smooth process, seems idiot proof, but you never know.
Figuring out the issues is another matter. One question was whether to vote YES or NO on a law to prohibit "penning a pregnant pig." (I figured farmers can handle that issue without a new law being passed) :rolleyes:
Note: Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Miriam Oliphant (liberal b/f democrat), who was severely critisized for incompetance recently, was caught red handed at a McBride-For-Governor rally the other day, which is strictly prohibited in her position. Word is, she will be fired soon after the election.

got to vote in the garage of an old victorian mansion which suspiciously was at the top of a particularly nasty hill - despite needing shirpa guides and llamas to get to my polling place at least we had a little open rebellion on the ballot:
proposition S - shall it be city(san francisco) policy to consider growing and distributing medical marijuana for medical use?
oh yeah and something about taxes or something.........;)
-
voted a couple days ago. we mail them in.

was at my poll at 0700 this morning. I was the 17th person to vote in my precinct. We have little sheets (well, legal size sheets) where you fill in the arrows and then run it through a machine. The machine has a digital counter for the number of ballots run through, so that's how I know I was 17th. :)
NW Florida doesn't get any money so we can't have new fangled touch screens. :(
Heh, the pig amendment has had us laughing here for weeks. :D

NO. 10
CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMANT: Limiting Cruel and Inhumane Confinement of Pigs During Pregnancy.
Inhumane treatment of animals is a concern of Florida citizens; to prevent cruelty to animals and as recommended by The Humane Society of the United States, no person shall confine a pig during pregnancy in a cage, crate or other enclosure, or tether a pregnant pig, on a farm so that the pig is prevented from turning around freely, except for veterinary purposes and during the prebirthing period; provides definitions, penalties, and an effective date.
Do you think pigs will want reparations?
-
LOL! :D
-
Voted on the way to work this a.m. and again on my lunch hour
why not once more on your way home for chad's sake ?
-
one more thing- not only was our poling place difficult to get to but get this- the power was off to that whole part of town!
turns out they had a plan for just such an occasion and the auxillary ballot box was busted out - even in these conditions there was a line 4 or 5 deep waiting for their turn and this was first thing in the morning.
on top of that the people working the place were filipino and couldn't understand my name even in phoenics mode - thankfully i have all my fingers and could point it out from a list-
you don't need fancy machines - just a committed bunch of voters that knows how to work a magic marker.
-
Oh, Wotan... you just KNOW someone sensitive is going to dress you down for arguably making a connection between blacks wanting reparations and pigs.
THIS is a 300+ post in the making. ;)
-
ya think?......
-
it definately has potential Wotan ;)

"free range' pigs definitely taste better
