As you can see from the sticker above I Voted Today! This is the first time I have voted early and also the first time I ever had to fill in the ovals on the ballot. In all the states and precincts I have ever voted in, it was always done by machine behind a curtain for privacy. Here I was filling out my ballot with only a small partition between myself and the other voters next to me and voters walking behind me. I don't know if this is because it is essentially an absentee ballot. Anyway, I finished and went to turn in my ballot, which I then fed it into a machine when the lady behind me says "that was a good vote"! What! You weren't suppose to see! Then she offered to show me hers! Back in the day, you kept your political affiliations to yourself. With such a emotional election this year everyone is wearing there heart on there sleeve. Everyone but me!Tuesday, October 28, 2008

ReplyDeleteGreat Post Babe! Now that I voted early in North Carolina, I am going to vote early in Ohio as well. It's OK for to vote in both places, I checked with ACORN. Of course I promised them I would vote for their guy from Chicago. Ha Ha - wont they be surprised as I enfluence two swing states. I love America!!
