The 2004 presidential election.

I got in line to vote at 6:00 am this morning. I waited in line for 30 minutes to get my ballot, took 5 minutes to cast my ballot and was home by 6:45 am.

The total trip for me to vote (drive there, vote, drive home) probably took about 15-20 minutes. Feel great about my vote and am excited to watch and wait for results.

got to my polling place at 7, i was #173, i waited 1 hour and 20 minutes to vote, i left at 8:25. considering that the polls here in columbus ohio open at 6:30, that's an amazing number of people . idle thought #1, since it was a school site, why doesn't the pta run a bake-coffee sale, i'd have bought both while i stood in line chatting with neighbors. second idle thought, there were more people waiting then i'd seen since the 1992 election, wonder how the numbers will be for this HOT HOT HOT campaign. i'm joyce and i approved this message.

I thought that GWB was going to produce Osama right before the election....

WHAT HAPPENED???

And I was trying to figure out what the D and R next to the candidates names meant...

R - Right!

D- Don't do it!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I did my civic duty and voted too!
By the way, who were those other people on the ballot? I've heard of Ralph Nader but there was and Independent pair I've never heard of. Why bother to put their names on if no one knows who they are? Maybe they hope they will get votes from people who don't want any of the others?

Scott and I arrived at our polling place (a church about 5 minutes from here) at 8:20 am. We finally walked up to the voting machine at 9 am. Overall, it wasn't too bad. They had 8 machines set up and there were a lot of people there to vote. They say that the turnout has been excellent today, even though we had rain this morning. Ever wonder why someone would choose not to vote just because it is raining??

No actually it stands for:

R - radical
D - democracy

[Samantha Puppy]

Hmmm... funny. I'm an "R" and I'm pretty much polar opposite of "radical."

Where is the campus of the Electoral College at?

[christa]

Me and my hubby voted at 11:20 this morning.

Only stood in line for about 15 minutes.

Stood in line for about 10 . . .

Showed ID & signed in . . .

Stood in line for another 5 or so . . .

Cast my vote!

Then we went & watched TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE!!!

Great movie!

At some point (I think it was in this thread), I said that the governor of SC usually overrides the law that requires liquor stores to close on Election Day. I was wrong. Liquor Stores are closed today! (I only looked when I was riding by )

The electoral college campus SHOULD be in the middle of the marshes surrounding D.C., either that or in a wastewater treatment plant. Frankly, both candidates should be put on Academic probation.

I genuinely wish there was a third block on the ballot for "none of the above". If none of the above wins, the whole slate of candidates should get thrown out and give them 30 days to re run the election, with no candidate on the current ballot eligible.

Bill 'n Opus for President!

How's about feeding them beer and beans, locking them in a room and the last person in gets to be the prez???

Kinda like Fear Factor???!!!???

That would be great! Or at least I wish we could have like 15 candidates, but I guess that could get messy.

With 15 candidates you'd have to use a runoff format, and the electoral college (Which works fine in its intended manner) would get messy.
