Hello all. Back after a little bit of R&R that I badly needed. I went to my local polling place this morning and I swear I always get the slowest poll worker in the building. It took her longer to find my name on the list as she s-l-o-w-l-y leafed through the pages, then it did for me to actually make my five selections. I didn't even bother sitting down as it took less than a minute. I hope everyone gets out there today.

We voted early but urge all the not-yet voters to get to the polls.

I voted immediately on the day I got my absentee ballot which is Monday after they send out in the mail. Brown without any hestitation and in a heartbeat.

I missed early voting... because my dog died... after eating my homework.  I was gonna go this morning but forgot.  I plan to go at lunch... but definitely after work... :)

We voted last week at the SOE office.

Today precinct 7T occupies my workplace, so I'm laying low. Can't even wear so much as a button.

Bump.

I voted in precinct 14T at the Lutheran church on McDuff this morning a little before 9--just a few people in line before me.
My wife voted about an hour earlier and spotted both Jill Dame and Jim Love out in the 'hood waving signs.

Sorry for your loss BT - my good friend Tim once told me (before I picked up my pup) that taking on a new pet is buying a small tragedy.  :-[

As for me I'm scribbling my ballot right after work!
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

Early-voted 2 Mondays ago. I only have this forum to thank for getting me so interested in this election.

Thank you Shwaz... now I owe you an apology.  My post was apparently a poor attempt at humor designed to portray the numerous and silly excuses for NOT voting.  The good news is... I just returned from the polls with my sticker on my shirt.  Took less than 5 minutes... :)
