I voted yesterday! North Carolina opened its "one stop absentee" polls over the weekend. I voted at the Wake County Elections office, downtown Raleigh. I was the 618th voter according to the electronic tabulator (but polls were open earlier, on the weekend, too). MSM won't deter ME. Will it you?

There sure seems to be a tremendous push to get people to vote absentee ... even if it isn't necessary. I got an absentee ballot in the mail last week (Pennsylvania) .. and I scoured the entire thing for directions or parameters for voting absentee. I found nothing .. it was almost like .. forget the voting date .. do it now.

My absentee ballot should arrive shortly. The MSM will not deter me either.

I voted early Monday 10/23/2006 and I voted all Republican.
I was surprised that there were no Rats on about a third of the local races.

I voted absentee in PA. I am working the polls on Election Day. My Daughter at college in TN is also voting absentee. My wife will go to the polls.

Hate to burst your bubble, but for every vote you cast there were fifteen more cast by dead, inner city Dems.

I just voted my California ballot recently, via absentee. Voted for Arnold, McClintock, Poochigian, Mountjoy and others.

I WILL NOT BE DETERRED BY THE PRO-DEMOCRAT MEDIA.

I voted a straight Republican ticket yesterday (the first day the polls opened) and voted not to retain any of the Florida Supreme Court Judges that were on the ballot.

Now I'm free to help the local GOP turn out the rest of the vote between now and November 7th.

They told me at the polling place where I voted that people were lined up at the door to vote before they even opened yesterday morning. They had another rush again at noon when people came to vote on their lunch hour.

This is the second time I've voted on the electronic machines. Both times it went flawlessly and I was out of there within 5 minutes after I showed my ID and was matched up on their computers.

I am in North Texas and voted early today. Went to the poll about 11am and had to wait there were that many people there. Most, like myself, were gray hairs but they were there voting. I was very surprised by the turn out that time of day. I voted straight R but one of the votes bothered me, don't think she will be good for the state or district but the D running would be worse.

My vote counted on Monday,10/23/06, here in Texas. A city worker commented that it had been busier Monday than the first early voting day during a presidential election. Said over 400 had voted Monday in my community of 14,000.

It felt SO GOOD.

I voted on the way to work.

Feels so good!
Although I still wish they'd give us a printout to keep so we could compare and make sure that it matches records of the vote. I asked the lady and she said it was illegal because it could result in, "Selling votes." I'd want something simple: You vote, you get a receipt, election ends, you run your VR number in the system's history on your prior votes and see if they match. If they don't, raise hell.

You didn't hear??? We are all disheartened and we don't want to vote.
I am shocked you didn't get the memo.
