I voted at 6:30 and I had 0 hanging chads!
Right across the street was a gas station sign gleaming brightly in the twilight, that stated 92 octane $2.19.9 gal! There were four of us in line and one man in an Air Guard uniform was in the group! I told them that if any of them were undecided to stand where he was standing and look across the street at that sign! They came to life at that point and every one of them stated that they were voting for John Kerry! There was more Bush bashing going on by the time the door opened than there is on DU! I was the first one to vote! I offered to let the Serviceman go before me and he refused to get in front of a Veteran! I was there fifteen minutes before the others, because I thought the door opened at 6:00 am!(uninformed voter)

By the time I voted, there was a line at the door and the parking lot was almost filled up! I asked jokingly of the poll workers, where's my two dollars or two swollars and they said they were all just talking about the way things used to be! I said that when they outlawed vote buying the crooks just started buying the politicians! They all laughed and agreed! I told them that, Laws work just like locks, they are made to keep honest people honest! I checked for hanging chads and found 0!

It looked like a good time was being had by all, except for one storm trooper type who I overheard someone refer to as a Republican and a state cop! He smirked when he saw my ponytail down to my ass and I smirked right back at his Mr Clean hairless doo! I thought, you can smirk all you want to Barney Fife, but come November I'll cancel your fucking Reich Wanker vote!

1. We voted last evening
I marked for Kucinich and himself chose Edwards. We both knew that Kerry has the nomination locked up and we just wanted to score one for left wing liberalism. When our registrations were checked, they said "Democrat" fairly loudly, which I thought was kind of weird.

No hanging chads here, either. (Of course, we use optiscans, so chads would have been strange.):)

2. They prolly said Democrat out loud so the guy would know to.....
flip the switch that dumped your vote! I punched that card so hard that I'll bet the pin was punching through the bottom of that Vote-O-Matic! Then I pulled out that card and gave it a long hard Palm Beach Stare before I gave it up! Come the general election I'm taking my spy glass!
