Big Big Question is a Josh Millard project.
Yes. It was cold and gray outside, threatening to rain, but the polling place was two blocks from me house and it was good to see everyone out and about. Where usually I never have to wait, this time, I had to wait an hour. Unreal.
Yes. It was a beautiful morning (70 and sunny here in Chicagoland today!) and the polling place is two doors down from my house. It took me 12 minutes to vote, total. Door to door.
Yup, I voted for Obama, to keep the state income tax, and to decriminalize marijuana. I expect the bus to Gitmo will be pulling up outside any minute now.
Yes .. I voted last week, on the last day of early voting in Chicago. The wait was just under an hour. I didn’t get a sticker, though. I think they ran out long before I got there.
Nope, I’m a mere temporary resident so no vote for me! Although I have very much enjoyed the sideshow of the whole thing and have encouraged others who are eligible to get out and vote (and pick up their free coffee and donuts and ice-cream!!) Not that they needed all that much encouragement.
Yep. No problems at my precinct, but I went with my friend – at hers, an election official came by to check the volunteers’ IDs, and there were people campaigning too close to the doors, so she had to move them. I got asked if it was my first vote (it’s my third) so I guess I look young.
If only I had known that a vote for Obama meant a vote for puppies!
(I’m pro-kitten)
I voted. In my (mostly) white (entirely) suburban neighborhood, it took me longer to walk across the parking lot to the polling place than it did to stand in line to cast my ballot. My buddy Joe, OTOH, lives in a blue-collar multi-culti part of town, and the line at his polling place (the only one in town! Funny, that.) was over 200 yards long and the wait time was more than two hours. Voter suppression through bureaucratic incompetence and planning failure, or merely a data point illustrating the surge of new voters enthusiastic about the Obama campaign? I dunno. I DO know that it was a lot easier for a bunch of rich old white farts to vote for McCain than it was for a bunch of people with jobs to get to to vote for Obama.
Nope, I’m an anarchist so no vote for me! (I couldn’t help but note that Jessamyn, a self-professed anarchist, did vote, which strikes me like an atheist going to mass, but whatever floats your boat.) I wished my wife well as she went off to vote for the Big O, though.
