I voted!
The polling place here in NH was not crowded @ 9:30AM - just a car pulling in about every minute or so. I said hello to the 2 cheerful women holding Democratic candidate signs as I walked toward the doors. The 3 men holding Republican signs (on the opposite side) all said "hi" as I walked by - I couldn't look at them so I rolled my eyes and gave 'em the "what up" head tilt - it's difficult not to be rude to those ignoramuses. I overheard a fellow talking to the R's say "I think Republicans will do well today, but ...(inaudible)". I checked in and she had to yell my name 2 or 3 times to the poll workers in the background doing their due diligence - I just found it annoying whereas I think of voting as a private thing I don't like hearing my name screamed out in front of 20+ people. I ensured that I was still registered as "undeclared" and noticed that people in my district with a name close in spelling to mine are all registered Dems - cool! Not sure why, but there was no choice to vote straight ticket which made voting a chore as I could barely see if I was filling in the ovals completely and I had to do it about 15 times - how annoying (yes, my close up vision sucks - especially in the morning.) Oh yeah, I filled the ovals for all of the candidates in the "Democrats" column. They gave me an "I Voted" sticker after I inserted my ballot into the machine - how cute.

GO DEMS!

1. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention...
There were literally HUNDREDS of signs put out overnight that show a picture of our Governor Lynch and President Obama together and say "The Lynch and Obama team". It's actually quite flattering if you don't see the "they will raise our taxes" in smaller writing below. In some places they were placed 30 - 40 in a row about 10 feet apart! I'm not sure how effective these signs are as I first thought they were pro-Lynch :rofl:
