I agree, go to the polls and make your vote count! (I won't get into it either, Heather LOL)

I live in one of the critical states, Ohio. You bet I will be voting on Tues! Ok, I'll be good, too, and not name my choice. But I will say I live in a politically divided house so I have to make sure I get to the polls to cancel out my hubby's vote! :)

As the old saying goes, VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN! :biglaugh: (just a joke, please don't do it)

Seriously, you are right, Heather, it is so very important for each of us to vote!

I also have already voted --- and also won't say how. In Oregon we're 100% vote by mail, which I honestly don't like. There was something about going to the polls on election day to vote that was special to me. Now I know that I have voted, but in Oregon it can be weeks before we know the results.

I think educating ourselves on the candidates and issues and voting is a serious responsibility we all have and I urge each and every one of you to vote.

And if you have really good ESP --- well --- vote for my candidates! ;)

This will be my first year voting!!! I'm excited. I didn't vote when I turned 18 but I get to vote this year! Woo hoo! Chelsey :)

[Stella1609]

This is the first year I'm old enough, and you can bet I'll be voting!!! It probably won't matter since I'm in SC, but I can't whine for the next four years if the candidate I want loses unless I'm out there :D.

I haven't voted in several years but plan to this year. I have moved a couple of times since last voting and I don't know which location to go to vote. Someone told me I probably vote at the last place I went but I don't remember where that is (it has been a long time, hasn't it?). What city department do I call to find out?

[ICNDonna]

In Oregon, you would call the Elections Department. If you call any county office, they should be able to tell you where to telephone.

Good luck!

Our house is about 3-1 (I won't say who is outnumbering who though, but I will say that my argument is winning in this household ;) ) WI is a swing state too, and like Donna said, if you've got ESP vote for my candidate LOL!!!

[Betsie]

Wow Donna,

Are you really saying the whole state votes by mail? I am amazed to know that. I wonder what your "voters turn out rate is"?

I agree, I don't like that either. I have been tuned into a lot of talk show and political analysis and what I am hearing about mail in/absentee ballots is alarming.

Let's pray that every vote really does count...we do have a voice and we certainly voice it here, so get out and vote!!!

:woohoo: Go *************** ! :biglaugh:

[Mel53H]

I kind of like voting by mail. You can take your time reading everything and then just slip it in the mail. I work for the city so I put mine in the elections box that they have there. So easy! But, that is just my humble opinion. :)

[heiwalove]

election day, i am a nervous wreck, lol, i think i have election obsessive compulsive disorder. i keep refreshing cnn.com even though i know we won't have any results for a few hours at least, maybe even a few days.. i'm going nuts, AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
:bonk:

[Betsie]

Heather!

I am with you...I am a news slut (sorry about the language guys) and am online watching the electoral college numbers...and watching ABC's coverage. :dizzy:

Donna, I am still perplexed about the voting process in Oregon....and i am curious why we don't have an exit poll response it it was all in by mail...am i missing something?

Plenty of time to vote for many of you further west, please VOTE!!

May the next round of debates begin.......an exciting day though for Americans!

[yvette]

I VOTED today!!!!! :::::happy dance, jump up and down:::::::

ok so I have to admit this is my first time voting....when I turned 18, it didn't interest me and between then and now, I was lucky if I could make it to work or even out of bed.....so the IC is more manageable...I'm older, I'm more interested and it was a breeeeeeeze!!! The people at the polls were helpful and nice. Not one person made me feel like an idiot...I am SO GLAD I did it!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!! :D

[Imustpee]

Been there...done that.. :)

[heiwalove]

i reallyreally wanna ask who people voted for. is that wrong?? i'm so curious. eek! i wonder if we could just list who we voted for without getting into any arguments/political debate?
hehe, i'm obsessed, i admit it.
what do you think?

[Betsie]

Awesome.... :woohoo:

It's never too late, right? My 22 yr old did also for the first time and was a little nervous about the process...since she works for attorneys, I told her she could handle it if she could handle that job. The folks that volunteer are very helpful, I think many are intimidated by feeling foolish. Now she thinks its a breeze...though we are not in the long line type of town, thank God.

My younger daughter voted absentee and sent it to MA, I was happy to see it recorded on her listing. :)

Well, hopefully lots of ICers turned out.....health care being a critical campaign issue.

[sleepyangel30]

I voted early this morning :) It feels good to vote for the first time. :woohoo:

[Cricketmk3]

I can't remember the last time I voted before this year.
