Voted, feeling "ugh"
I looked up my precincts breakdown of registrations: 2300 registered, 970 R, 790 D, 880 I (I'm in this).

I pulled up and some old large white dude is jumping around with a Burr and Lawson sign in either hand - it was all I could do to not swerve in his direction. Get out of the car and a 'conservative judge' group is there handing out their voter guide (since judges are SUPPOSED to be non-partisan, even though the NCGOP heavily advertises for them).

I walk in and am surrounded by 2 guys who are repubs (one took a guide and the other stopped and chatted with them afterwards).

Ditched my (R) vote for sheriff that I said I was going to do and just filled in the circle for straight Democratic party.

I was voter #778 at 5:12 PM - so about 33% turnout (sans any early voting)

I feel dirty after walking out of there. Help me wash off this funk. x(

4. You did the right thing - today is the day you get your say and you did it...
...think how much worse you would feel if you didn't.

Sit back and watch, stay positive...

5. Hope this helps ... voted Friday here in NC, also straight DEM.
We turned this state PURPLE in 2008, got NC for Obama AND we kicked out that ASS Liddy Dole.

I don't know if we can hold off the GOP's "red scare", but we have to try.

btw ... my wife voted earlier today, also straight Dem.
