Did you?
Today at noon, I walked into my polling place, and I was the only non-worker there. I asked the ladies behind the tables, "Has it been like this all day?" The younger looked at me and said, "This is the first breath I've caught since I got here this morning." We all smiled. I gave my ID, found my name on the list before the worker did, received the fumbling instructions on how to work the new touch screen system and fulfilled my responsibility as a citizen. HOO-RAH or maybe that should be BOO-YAH, or with respect to my geography, YEE-HAW! They ought to give out buttons or something, ink our fingers, give out coupons for proof of voting like restaurants give discounts for church bulletins on Sundays. I'm damn proud I voted. I want people to know.
This is my government, and I'm going to make sure of that. Try and stop me.

Now if the machines are not rigged.....
I dropped off my ballot yesterday (Oregon is a vote-by-mail state...) It took some time to figure out (we had a shitload of ballot mesures this time, mostly bad ones...) but I sucked it up and did my civic duty.
When i lived in california , I always worked at the polls.
It was fun!..
But I was always the ONLY democrat..
republicans are MEAN
Interesting to see your "I Voted" sticker. Ours reads "I Voted" in both English and Spanish.
Peace, Virginia

The voting poll was empty when I went in also...but they also were taking a breath before the next wave hit!
