I went to the polls fifteen before they opened.... and there was a long line. By the time my huband and son got there, the line was out the door (he took a sepaprate car and stopped for gas) and by the time he got there, the line was out the door! I always get to the polls first thing, and am usually #1 or 2. Every time. Today I was #12. So glad to see everyone coming out to vote and make their voices heard!
I can only imagine what the polls will be like around noon-time and after work. :eek:
My son left to vote at 7:00 but hubby and I probably won't arrive there until about 8:30 or even 9:00. I am prepared for long lines as well. Actually I was told that those who vote between 11:00 and 4:00 have the best chance of avoiding the lines, so if anyone has today off you might choose to go then.
My husband and i are getting ready to go right now. We both have to work today, but will get late starts to get this voting done first thing. :)
My husband and I went at 7 am. I've always walked right up, voted and left. Not today- we waited about 30 minutes or so. Luckily, Misha was quite content sitting in the Snugli and even took a little nap, after charming everyone else waiting in line!
Yep!! I voted at 7am this morning before work!!
Not yet. I have to be at work at 05:30 so I will have to go when I get off.
I am excited though.. this will be my first time voting!!:D
I am going today around 2pm...when the lines shouldn't be too bad...
I told my boss yesterday that I'd be voted before I came in to work and I did. :)
I have voted in every election and primary since I was of age to vote. I will be going after work around 6pm. My husband will be going after he gets out of work as well.
Just got into work from voting! This is my 3rd presidential election and I've never seen such a turnout! :D
I can't vote, I am not old enough. :( But today my parents and my 18 yr old brother are voting. :D I think they were thinking of going at 10 or 2. Not sure though.
This will be my first presidential election I am voting in!!...after work...:D So proud!! And, WOW, what a turnout everywhere!!! Great to know people are concerned about voicing their opinions! :D
Good luck everyone! Not doubt the results will have an indirect impact on Canada so please make the right choice.
Just heard on the news this morning that our Prime Minister Paul Martin is re-introducing a bill to decriminalize pot; means that if you get caught with less than 150 g then you just get a fine and no jail time......but then again I guess this Dog House discussion. LOL
I've always gone after work and most times just walk right in and vote. Not sure what tonight is going to be like, but I'm prepared to stand in line. One of the nice things about standing in line is you get to talk to neighbors you might not every have met otherwise.
Also, I know other countries do this (but can't remember which ones) but I think we should all GET THE DAY OFF so we can be sure and have plenty of time to vote. ;) Sorry, just my sorry excuse at trying to get out of work. :o ;) :D :p
And another thing, if you haven't voted yet, be sure and thank your poll workers when you do vote. They put in long hard hours and most are volunteers. My mom volunteers and sometimes she doesn't get home until after 11:00 pm!
I haven't gone to vote yet. I have to babysitt today, so I have to wait until either my sister or mom gets home for me to go.
