[hobbes1]

maybe you should check. Lawsuit like that, Would make you a local (FR) hero ; )

[xsmommy]

how would i find out if he voted? i do not have any doubt in the world that my brother, bearing the same name, could drive from OH to my dad's polling place in PA and vote in his stead. Except, my bro is a republican and has way too many scruples.

[camle]

sorry bout yer dad...

[hobbes1]

Because when you vote you have to sign in, If there is a signature next to his name in the book.....

[xsmommy]

that's ok, camle, thanks. it was last december that he passed away.

he was a blue collar, union dem from the word go. I grew up hearing the mantra that the dems are for the working man, and the republicans are for the rich guys. It was a thorn in my dad's side that both of his kids grew up to be republicans! many a screaming fight was had at our holiday gatherings over politics. But i have to say, my dad was at my house for Easter when Elian was snatched and he cried right along with me over that.

[xsmommy]

i didn't have to sign anything in VA this AM, darling. but they did ask for my driver's license for ID.

[CholeraJoe]

I was talking to my SIL last night about various candidates and she said, "This is too confusing. Can't I just pull the lever at the top and vote for all the Republicans at once?" I handed her my wallet and hugged her.

[Slip18]

[Slip18]

Yayyyyyyyy, Camle!

[xsmommy]

[Slip18]

All right, SoG. I'm glad you've already voted.

Family voting is fun, xs. We did it last time, too.

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

[Sword_of_Gideon]

Not really, the US Rep is a lock (Republican, although not the one I wanted..), but did get to vote against a liberal wacko Professor who was running for state senate. Not really any key races here this year.

[Sword_of_Gideon]

Any good contests going down in your area?
