Nice try.  I voted a couple weeks ago.

Granted, I hate Oregon's vote by mail system, it's just begging for fraud.

But I still voted before you did.  So NYAH.

Voted a couple of weeks ago.

GOP for all the seriously contested races, Libertarian on a couple of the down-ballot races where the major party candidates had no major party opposition.

Voted.

I can't bring myself to vote straight-party and save time because:
1. I refuse to vote for folks running uncontested.
2. A particular state rep I find detestable (Angie Chen Button) and I voted Libertarian instead.

Took the wife and son to vote about 8:00. My ballot tripped the counter to 150.  I've seen state elections where I voted close to closing time and seen 120 for the day. I voted about the same time of day in '08 and I don't think it had run up that high by now. Looking like a big turn out for my small town.

Good to hear. My impression has been that many people who have never been involved in politics before have gotten active as a result of this massive over-reach.

The polls predict a landslide. I think they are underestimating the extent, though, due to the new voters involved.

Me too - had to be at work 3 hours before the polls opened, so I won't get to vote till 5 or so.

Off to vote in a few minutes.

I like the smell of elections in the morning.  Especially ones that begin to overturn tyranny.

We voted mail-in a week or so ago.

There really weren't that many choices, except for a couple of local offices.  Many of the offices did not even have a D opposition  ;/

Votes made. Second in line. Had to show I'd, voters registration card and verified on the list. I was impressed with the volunteers at my location here in Arizona.

I have been voting by mail here in Washington for many years and really like it.  I sit down with the voters pamphlet and a good cup of coffee, carefully read through it, do whatever additional research is needed and then mark, seal and mail my ballot. 

It sure beats having to go out in the (usually for this time of year) pouring rain, delay going into work until the polls open up at the local school, fight my way into the school parking lot between the other voters and the parents dropping the kids off, standing in line and then finally voting. 

So I did this a few weeks ago after I received my ballot.

I like Tejas. It seems like all the judges for SC were Repubs or Libertarian. And that is awesome.

Not to mention* that for us it is a more than 50 mile round trip to go vote in person  =(

Here in WI, you just have to pick your name off the registered voter list, and if it's not on there, they'll register you to vote immediately, with no proof of anything required.

Pure XXXXXXX'ing insanity.    :facepalm:

I was #150 at my polling place that serves three wards of an inner-ring burb of Milwaukee. That was at 8:00 am, very high after only being open an hour for a mid-term election. Hopefully turnout means good things.

I watched the woman in front of me insisting she was on the list, and claiming "they often get my name wrong on things" and giving out alternate spellings that were radically different like she was fishing for any convenient woman's name on the list.  :mad:

She was "re-registering" as I left.

They do actually compare names and addresses on the voter rolls, about six months to a year after the election, and then... wipe the bogus names and non-existent addresses from the registered rolls, where they can simply be fraudulently re-registered again next election. Assuming the Republicans capture both houses along with the Governor's race here, they need to institute photo-ID for voting even before CCW or cutting our horrible taxes.

AJ: I think they may push CCW first, because it will be seen as "more pressing". Voter ID won't be an issue again for 2 years: plenty of time. But that court precident is there now...

And yes, I voted. Forget which number I was...

Attention early and absentee voters: YOU CHEATED!  I was waiting in line for FIVE WHOLE MINUTES!  And I was first! Phooey to you.

You mean the DOJ-approved New Black Panthers?

In most counties in Washington, voting by mail is the only option.  After the state law permitting this was passed, most of the counties sold all their voting machines and disassembled the polling place infrastructure.  Some of the counties still permit in-person voting.

Wait a sec.

I thought scapegoats weren't allowed to vote: they're just present to blame for whatever goes wrong?

Double-D-ditto on that.

The fraud, though, comes in at the time of registration.  I registered quite a numbetr of years ago as a permanent mail-in ballot person.  All they asked for my DL and an "attestation" that I was legally entitled to vote.  They may have tightened it up since then  --I don't know --but what they may have done with any fraudulent "attestations" done back then in the meantime, I don't know either.  For all I know, hundreds of fraudulent voters may still be on the rolls.  I can only assume there was some kind of audit in the meantime.

Seemed to me at the time, they were reluctant to press someone on their entitlement to vote for <ahem> "politically correct" reasons. 

I was tempted to write myself in as County Assessor, since nobody was running for that, but they had a little black spot to fill in and a blank line to fill out.  I wonder what would have happened on that one if I was the only one to write in a name.

I'm not even going to turn on the news until about 8:00 PM tonight, though.

I don't even get off work til 4 pm Arizona time. That's 7 pm eastern. I have an hour long drive home and thanks to Sirrius, I can listen to Fox news, Fox news talk and Patriot depending on content. Will be watching the news when I get home. Hopefully Giffirds and Grihalva from Arizona get the boot!

I dropped by the local GOP victory office after work, lots of local candidates working the phones and a whole lot of ethusism in the air.

Now I'm off to a US Congressman's Victory Party.
