Should I vote tomorrow?

[Oeditpus Rex]

Just found out we've got early voting from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. (It's a very small county.) What are the advantages?

I've always liked to vote on election day because the reporter in me wants to be there when it's happenin', but I guess I could be talked out of it.

1. I liked early voting.

But our polling place is the creepy guy's garage, so I was happy to go to the shopping mall and vote.

[Gormy Cuss]

3. I'll never get used to voting in someone's garage.

I had always voted in public buildings before I moved to CA.

[KitchenWitch]

6. I know.

The "garage as polling place" really bugs me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Joe's Garage?

:D

[KitchenWitch]

7. Nice post, Mr. Zappa!

:rofl:

[faithfulcitizen]

2. yes

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Sound reasoning

I'll take it under advisement.

[Gormy Cuss]

8. No!

If you vote on Tuesday the reporter in you will have the chance to report to DU about the experience.

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Yeah, I've been thinkin' that

If I go tomorrow, it's likely I wouldn't have any stories to tell, like about long lines or Freepers being arrested for electioneering or somethin'.



I just hope I don't have the same story as in 2004, when some assbucket plowed into my truck as I was turning into my polling place. x(

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. I voted early.

'Nuff said. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. 'Nuff, indeed

I'll vote on Tuesday. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. Mean!

I'm gonna cry now. :cry:



:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. You never come 'round no more

So how can I trust your judgement? :shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. Have I ever lead you astray before?

And I haven't been around because I'm been busy, and tired, and grumpy, so there. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. No, dammit

You haven't. :cry:

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. I rest my case.

I should show you my halloween costume, that'll discredit anything I have to say. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. As you well know

I do not beg for such things.



So I'll simply agree with you and say, "Yes — you should."



:)

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. I'm pissed though, because I went all out and there's only one

crappy picture of me in it. Which just sucks out right. Let me tell you!



For you, to disprove any creditability I may have; here I am still half asleep this morning.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. It covers half of your face

:(

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. Yeah, the mask was only on for part of the day.

Because I couldn't wear it with my glasses, so I had it turned around. The feather was very cute in back, but is there a picture of that that's in focus? No. There is a reason why I'm the picture taker of the family. :eyes:



And I came in 2nd place at work for the costume contest. I was robbed! :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. *You* was robbed??

I wasn't even there. x(

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. LOL

:P

Yes, I was, although I think the 2nd place prize was better than the 1st place, so that was nice. :P




Ack, I need to stop with the typos.. or go to bed. Probably bed. :boring:

[sasquatch]

34. You only did it so you could use tuesday as a "personal day"

i.e.:beer:

[mopinko]

11. i generally agree that election day is better. i like that there are more

watchers and all. but i have to say that early voting has been a real gift, with all the bs that has been flushed out. so, especially if you live in some moron ridden place, vote early so you still have a chance to straighten it out if they fuck up.
me, tho, i look forward to taking my break from my precinct where i am a judge, to walk over and vote at my home precinct. i hope i have the time. voter regs are off the charts here. we have 6 judges assigned, instead of the usual 5. i heard they tried to get 7 per.
it'll be an exciting day. i want to be a part of it.

[LeftyMom]

13. You guys get time off to vote?

We barely get lunch breaks, and they make us vote absentee. Also, uphill, though the snow, etc.

[mopinko]

27. yup, gotta give you half an hour.

it's usually quiet in the middle of the day. a lot of the judges do vote absentee. i like to make sure my home polling place is running smooth. it doesn't take me the whole half hour, tho. it is right around the corner from the poll i work.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. That last thing is just how I feel

It will be an exciting day. :bounce:

[mopinko]

28. if the poll i am working is so crushed that i cannot get away to vote,

i won't feel too bad about it. obviously, my vote will not be needed. there is a referendum that i want to vote on. but my down ticket races are about as contested as the big race.
i'll squeeze it in, tho. we have 6 judges assigned. we should be fine.

[Common Sense Party]

20. I voted yesterday. I highly recommend early voting.

The line was pretty long yesterday at 4:00 pm.

I can only imagine what it'll be like Tuesday.

Get your vote done tomorrow and then go back to the polls on Tuesday to do your reportering.

[applegrove]

29. Vote today. Then you can be a reporter all day on election day. You

can hang out at the polls and not be stuck in a line up.

[skygazer]

30. I would have liked to have voted on Tuesday honestly

But they closed my polling place a few years ago (it was just down the road from my house, too :( ) so I am now a permanent absentee voter.

I like being there on the day. It brings back fond memories of many a Town Meeting Day. I think you should feed your inner reporter and do it on Tuesday. And tell us all about it. :hi:

[Solon]

31. Vote early...

vote often! :evilgrin:

[TZ]

32. Maybe its cause I don't have early voting here...

But I kinda don't get it. I want to vote on Election Day. I want to know the results of my vote that day/night. Not sure I would like the wait of voting early

[MrCoffee]

33. Wait until Wednesday...super short lines.

[NNadir]

35. Vote early in case you're struck by a meteor.

Of course we wouldn't want that to happen, but in the catastrophic case, you will have done your share for future generations.
