The Semi-Official "I Voted" Thread

[MrScorpio]

I'll add my own separate post once I make it back from the polls

[jaxx]

1. I voted 2 weeks ago......all D.

[MinM]

71. I voted 2 minutes ago......all D.

:dem:

[Number23]

223. 3 and a half weeks ago for me!

Absentee ballots are a wonderful thing. :hi:

[live love laugh]

234. Voted a week ago. nt

[JonLP24]

2. I voted a few weeks ago

Dem all the way except for races the Dem wasn't running like for County Attorney. In that race I voted for the Libertarian over the Arpaio lap-dog.

[hamsterjill]

6. That's my method, too.

I won't hit the "Democrat" button for that very reason. I go through each individual race for the opportunity to vote against a Republican candidate when there is no Democrat in the race.

[Island Blue]

3. I voted

a couple of weeks ago.

[Dulcinea]

178. Same here.

Early voting rocks!

I live in GA, one of the reddest of states. But today I'm fervently hoping the good people of Nevada don't send that fruitloop to the Senate!

[taterguy]

4. I semi-officially voted a couple weeks ago

Fuck Polston

[hlthe2b]

5. 2 weeks ago in Denver...

;)

[AspenRose]

7. Done

Even though my area is blue and my guy is pretty much safe. We had some amendments to vote on too.

[Loki]

8. One week ago

my husband, myself and our 20 year old daughter voted. Today my 93 year old mother will go to the polls in Missouri and vote a straight Democratic ticket which she has done her entire life. We will survive whatever happens. Good god, if we could survive 8 years of Bush, we can survive anything.......and his Ranger's lost. Go Dems!

[Dappleganger]

9. Voted this morning.

My daughter and I, plus husband. The precinct was just become crowded when we left at 7:30 but everything was going smoothly.

[NYC Liberal]

10. Voted around 6:30am this morning!

Voted for Schumer and Gillibrand, voted for my rep (Carolyn Maloney), voted for Cuomo for governor.

For those in NYC, I voted YES on term limits!

[mdmc]

11. holla at yo boy!

working families party line all the way baby!

[w8liftinglady]

12. I voted on the 18th.Local R's were "surprised" to see us Dems there

...and we WERE there.

[LWolf]

13. I voted a few weeks ago. nt

[alc]

14. done

red area. only 15 people ahead of me compared to 50-100 normally at this time.

[spinbaby]

15. I voted at 7:10 this morning

Western PA, Republican-leaning rural district, very high early-morning turnout.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. I voted on my way to work. nt

[rucky]

17. I think I did.

I requested a paper ballot, but I'm not sure if they were prepared for that.

I finished voting & put it in an envelope, and then the poll worker put it on top of the same filing cabinet where they were storing the envelopes. There was no special box or container for them, so I'm not sure what's going to happen to it now.

I called 866-OUR-VOTE and they told me not to worry.

But this is the same county that stole the '04 election, btw. Boy do I feel stupid.

[Thav]

49. I like the way we do it

We have paper ballots that are counted by machine. Fill in the bubble with black ink. The machine counts it and stores the ballot in a locked box. That way there IS a paper trail so manual recounts are possible.

Being in the IT world, I don't trust pure electronic voting at all. My precinct did have a voting machine, but all it did was mark the ballot, you still had to have it counted the same as everyone else.

Oh yeah, and I put my ballot in D to move forward.

[WillParkinson]

18. Done and Done!

Paul and I cast our votes this morning.

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. Voted before coming to work today.

Straight Dem ticket. :patriot:

[Deuce]

20. Last Wednesday...NW Florida...#2102.

[Alexander]

21. I voted just now, in Hartford.

Dan Malloy, Richard Blumenthal, John Larson, and the rest of the Democratic ticket all got my vote.

Turnout was pretty light, as it usually is in Hartford. There were about 6-7 other people voting at the same time as I did.

[KatyaR]

22. Early voting ROCKS!

And with this post, I'm going to try to ignore most of the "noise" of the day. It's too nerve-racking....

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

[gademocrat7]

23. I voted last Wednesday.

[redirish28]

24. My wife and I voted... So two votes for the Democratic Ticket AND my wife

is registered as Independent.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Done.

Really really wish that PA had early voting but there's too many rethugs controlling the state legislature for that to ever happen.

[demmiblue]

26. Done! I was number 89. n/t

[Bettie]

27. I went first thing this morning!

Looked like a lot of people there for right at opening.

[get the red out]

28. Voted for Jack Conway here in Lexington

I was excited to vote this morning. Then I got to work and a Republican-leaning co-worker told me that her virulently Republican husband voted for Conway as well as her. We will see if a small ray of hope like that means anything, but Rand Paul is too crazy for some Republicans it seems.

[Generic Other]

29. early birdie here!

Democratic all the way!

[beac]

30. Just got back from voting! The computerized list hadn't showed up, so they were hand writing each

name and address. We're going out of town today, but with this delay, we've had to rearrange our schedule slightly. Still feels good to have exercised this very important right, even with the annoying delay. :)

[Bluenorthwest]

31. Done last week, over a two day period

[deminks]

35. Voted last week. Straight dem ticket.

Refused touch screen and requested paper. Yes, it is read by ES&S machine, but at least it was something I marked and I reviewed and I watched go into the machine. How it is counted is most probably another story, but not for here.

[Ikonoklast]

36. Two weeks ago.

"D", right down the line.


And, my three kids.

And, their three SO's.


We sat down and went over the candidates, and the various local issues from three different districts.


Seven Democratic votes in Ohio, right down the line.

[HereSince1628]

37. Been there and done it and then took a walk...

I was #41. Although I voted at about the same time as usual that's a bit lower number than I usually get.

[mysticalchick]

38. Voted this am in MD

Straight Dem ticket. And yes, I'm an informed voter. :)

[PearliePoo2]

39. I voted Sunday..dropped my ballot in the box outside the Courthouse

Although Washington State's mail-in voting is very good for turnout/participation...I really DO miss getting dressed up, going to the high school gym, signing the registration book and pulling the curtain to cast my vote.
I miss visiting with friends and acquaintances standing proudly in line with me, putting the "I voted" sticker on my collar and then heading to the cafe for breakfast and coffee.
But it DID feel good to fill in the square for Patty Murray...oh yeah and fuck you Dino Rossi.:-)

[bigwillq]

40. Just voted!

:bounce:

[walldude]

41. Straight "D" ticket..

[July]

56. NJ-7. No waiting.

In 11 years of voting in my NJ-7 precinct, I had no waiting at all at 9:15 a.m., my usual time. Usually, there's a healthy number of people there, no matter the year, and it was packed, with a line going out the door, during the '08 presidential.

[coffeenap]

57. Straight D here--even held my breath for the blue dog--

little tiny baby steps on the way to progress...

[bullwinkle428]

58. Voted last week for all my Dem. candidates, as well as to retain

the State Supreme Court judges that voted for marriage equality in Iowa.

[eyepaddle]

59. Voted on the way in to work this morning!

Go Dayton--and especially important this year, state rep Paul Gardner--here in MN we'll need to capture the guv's office and hang on to the house (I'm pretty confident, but stil....) in order to really undo the damage of 8 years of Pawlenty.

[BlueCollar]

60. Early voted...n/t

[warrior1]

61. I voted absentee

California.

[mindfulNJ]

62. Just cast my vote

[lpbk2713]

My precinct was busier than I expected at 9:35am.

There wasn't much conversation going on so I didn't get a feel for what the mood was.

[immoderate]

81. I had the same experience.

People were friendly, but it was mostly quiet. Business was brisk for mid-morning, about a twenty minute wait.

Straight D all the way!!!

[COLGATE4]

77. Just voted in the Tampa Bay area. Almost all the voters there

when I was there were the grey-haired crowd. Not fair to generalize but as I looked around I thought to myself 'lots of Tea Partiers here'. Shit!!!!!!

[HoneychildMooseMoss]

88. Hey, I've got grey hair

and I'm not a "tea partier".
And neither is my mother, for that matter.
Some of us old fogies are actually Democrats.

[Jennicut]

163. It's Florida, I thought all the older people that live up north go there to retire.

Hence, a lot of older people?

[mikeytherat]

[Aristus]

82. I voted an hour ago.

It's a beautiful day here in Western Washington. The sun is coming up, the clouds are a pinkish-vanilla color, the sky is blue, and the awful, endless, torrential rains of yesterday are but a memory.

Let's keep things Democratic in this country. The repukes are doing everything they can to turn us into a third-world country. Let's keep striving to prevent the fifth-rate, bankrupt, despairing nation they want us to become...

We can do it.

Yes, we can... B-)

[ljm2002]

83. Just got back from voting...

[GoneOffShore]

86. Voted at 10:30A EDT in Philadelphia

I was number 134 in my ward.
Turnout is pretty good for this ward.

[be_long]

96. I don't vote for people who

because I don't have amnesia and certainly am not a resident of
the state of denial and knowing that I'm not a corporation, nor am
I rich and I don't pal around with special interest groups, I'm pretty
sure I voted correctly when I cast my vote, I'm also pretty confident
that there are millions just like me, I don't vote for people who
vote against my better interest.

[GoneOffShore]

153. What are you talking about?

Could you explain what you just wrote?

Because it's not making any sense at all.

[HughMoran]

89. Voted straight Dem

91. Voted absentee awhile ago n/t

[FailureToCommunicate]

92. We walked to polling place and voted. 7:30 am, not crowded yet...

Many older voters show up mid morning in our precinct. Cold, cloudy day to be holding signs, but not as bad as last year' s snow/rain...

(Cold) Fingers crossed for Deval Patrick and the Dems nationwide to pull this off...

101. we voted two weeks ago and might actually have a chance at a D Governor.

or at least a run-off.

[cleanhippie]

102. I voted two weeks ago via mail....and I voted Republican...

in one local race. It was the Country assessor. The incumbent is an R and she has done a very good job of keeping property assessments in-line with actual values, adjusting them up and down in a fair and even handed manner. I voted for her for that reason, and because no one was running against her.

Other than that, mine was a straight Democrat vote down the line.....



:)

[WillyT]

103. Voted Thursday Oct 28th...

[Tatiana]

111. Bless you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thank you for voting. Every one counts.

[newspeak]

113. thank you!

It's been a hard end of the year. My aunt, mom's sister and second mother to me, died in September and now, my mom in October. I really don't know if I can take another hit.

[lpbk2713]

112. Thank you both for the special effort.

Sorry about Mom.

115. voted in MA 9:00 am-- straight D ticket

Charlie Baker (R gubernatorial, faux-populist-pseudo-"nice guy" (not) candidate) was there, with TV and photographers . . :puke:
It's a normally D precinct, so hopefully most voters, like myself, paid him and his PR machine no mind.

No line, but, judging from number of parked cars and people coming in and out, looks like healthy turnout.

[Politicub]

116. Voted this morning - dems all the way!

Was looking for the I voted thread earlier. :)

[nostalgicaboutmyfutr]

117. Votes - More than ever seen at my CO precinct.

Voted in Colorado's second largest and most conservative city...I had to wait in line at 7:30....and NEVER had done that before even with Obama's election.

Hard to say if it might meen a surprise for democrats...or just evidence of a pukey bloodbath....I will say there appear to be a lot more republicans that question how well republicans have delivered on their promises....

Get out the vote!

Oh and, straight Dem. :)

Youngest person voting in my polling place. Still, my Facebook friends list is bubbling with "I Voted" posts, so that gives me hope for the under-40 turnout.

151. Voted but fucking annoyed at the new NYC machines

They just suck the ballot in without showing you what actually got scanned and then allowing you to confirm it, useless pieces of shit.

I want my big clunky lever machines back, at least you saw who you were voting for and the experience ended with a loud satisfying thunk like you just closed the door on a 57 Chevy.

Just could not bring myself to even leave it blank. So good luck Seamus!! You got four votes from this household as the rest of the family liked the idea! All of the rest of our votes were straight Dem, so triple good luck to Russ Feingold, Tom Barrett, Steve Kagen and Penny Bernard Shaber!!

Anecdotally, our polling place was more crowded than I have ever seen it and there was a line for people who needed to register as new voters, and this was at 11 a.m. That's usually a very slow time for us. The volunteers said turnout was heavy.

I sure hope this is good news for us!!

Haven't had a chance to check in here earlier, but at midday, the commissioners said voter turnout had not been heavy, but it was better than past elections. Perhaps most people will be voting in the early evening after work.

[TripleKatPad]

212. Did my duty before work

Voted before work, about 8 am. Hardly anyone there. Many people at work commented on my "I voted" sticker. On my way home from work, I stopped at the local party store for evening cocktail mix. The young man behind the counter noticed my sticker and excitedly said, "You voted!?!" "Yes," I responded, pointing to my sticker. "Where can I vote? Do I just stop in at any school?" I found his questions disturbing, but politely explained how he could find out his polling place. Sigh. It occurred to me afterward that I should have asked his political leanings before offering assistance. But, I only do evil on Thursdays.

[Tsiyu]

[last_texas_dem]

217. Voted two weeks ago

All Democratic where I had the option; also voted for a Green and a couple of Libertarians (Libertarian vs. Repug incumbent as a protest vote) where I didn't. Sustaining my streak of never voting for a Repug that I began when I started voting in '02!

[rhett o rick]

218. I voted twice. jk the second vote was actually my cat. Doin my part. nm

[Scurrilous]

219. Voted around 5 PM here in Miami...

...sailed in and sailed out.

No line. No wait.

Kind of encouraging because my precinct/district is heavily right-wing Cuban Mafia GOP.

How bad is it? This bad:

Mario Diaz-Balart wins brother's House seat

"Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) won the seat once held by his brother Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R) Tuesday, as was expected. Lincoln Diaz-Balart announced his retirement earlier this year, and his brother opted to run in his district, which leans more Republican."

[bikebloke]

231. I voted on the way home from work.

Had to wait about 20 minutes. They said it was dead most of the day.

[PATRICK]

232. Voted

and avoided the chaos of our completely stupid expensive optical scan system. Just filling in the circles slows down the process then pray for the scanner to accept the ballot into digital limbo.

Things look good in NY except of course the rep seats in gerrymandered districts. The margins of loss there might convince the redistricters to surrender the Dem hostages.

All told politics is local and the NY GOP was almost worse than the Tea Party in general as far as competence goes.

All things considered most of the traditional and New Democrat abetted losses aren't as bad. Maybe they might try: election reform, media reform and populist stances in some sort of attempt at real political competence. The GOP just made noise to get the "change" dues it does not deserve and everyone except real people chipped in for life support.

For me, since Nixon: First order of business always- finish off the GOP. It could be so much easier than trying to get reforms past their corrupt office holders.

[Kurovski]
