No, I haven't yet.  I'm thinking about going to the courthouse and voting early to get it over with.  I hope there is a big turnout.

I took my ballot in yesterday. Colorado had eighteen questions related to judge retainment and I now feel it necessary to research everything. The ballot also had about twenty amendments that required seerious thought. There was a question regarding the abolishment of slavery. Normally this would be an open and shut vote until you think of prisoners forced  to do community service. Prisoners owe a debt to society for crimes committed. Forced community service would be seen as slavery. Abolishment of slavery in this scenario would mean that communities would lose the benefit of much needed free labor because the prisoners would be seen as slaves if they were forced to provide free labor. I believe that the amendment proposal needed to be rewritten and better defined.

Not voted yet. The ads on TV and online for the candidates are starting to get very annoying. I will be happy when election season is over! And then of course it's time for all the Christmas stuff being shoved down our throats. Its safe to say I hate November and December. lol  :bad:

I voted via mail.  Easy and it gave me time to study and think about my votes. First time I've done it and I will again.

I voted last week.  There was a huge turnout, several hundred more voters than were normal for an early voting day. I'm grateful for the privilege of voting for the candidates of my choice.

I always wait until Election Day and vote in person at my polling place. I printed out a sample ballot online and know how I am going to vote on the issues and candidates, but still prefer to fill out the ballot there and put it into the scanning machine myself so that I know that my ballot is actually being tabulated.

Post by: aflyingmonkey on October 29, 2018, 06:31:29 pm
No early voting around here, except for mail-in ballots.... I see other states where people can go places to vote early, but not anywhere close around here in Cali.      So on Election Day I'll hit the polling place close to my home, it's usually not too crowded... it used to be in someone's garage & now it is in a huge flooring warehouse, so I can peruse flooring while I wait to vote.

I don't plan to do the early voting, but will vote

Yeah, I do the mail-in. You do miss out on a certain feeling that you get from going to the polls in person, but to me avoiding a trip is worth it.

I am 69 and always voted on Election Day until 2 years ago when I decided to try the Absentee ballot.  This year I turned my ballot in last week.  Michigan has several ballot proposals, including marijuana legalization and addressing gerrymandering.

I dropped off my ballot more than a week ago. I like to get it out of the way as soon as possible.

No, we don't have early voting in my state. Looks like I'll have to stand in line and wait to vote with everyone else.

Yes, I voted the first Day of Early Voting, I have always done early voting since it was started and I was fortunate enough to live in states that do it.

Yes, but I only did so as a favor for those who still do care who is or might be governor, president, etc.

 I have already voted.  Due to my disability I always vote by absentee ballot. I usually send it in a week before the election.
 I can't wait until the election is over  :pumpkin: :rose: :peace: :wave:

Sent my mail-in ballot a few days ago. I hate going in person. But now I still get to hear the political ads going almost constantly for the next half week. Gross. I hate politics.

Yeah, I was afraid to wait til election day because I work that day and was afraid something would happen and I would not get to vote. And this is a very important election.

Slavery was abolished a long time ago.  Prisoners are not slaves. Most of them do not provide free labor.  They do have trustees or may be called something different in other areas.  And they as far as I know are paid but they money goes toward their fees so they don't actually see any money. I don't think this is fair.

I am tired of the ads for the election. If you don't want to celebrate Christmas then don't.  I get annoyed with people complaining about Christmas and I wish it was over.  Nobody makes you participate.  Same with the election.  I can ignore the ads. And I throw the stuff away I get in the mail and I do not read any of it no matter who it is from.

There are more lines for early voting that voting day in my area.  Unless you are standing there when they open.

I always vote early. Which means I won't have to take off work and go stand in line and vote. Voting early means we don't have to mess with some one sanding out side wanting to know who I voted for, I always vote  and have since in was 21 that was the age you could vote back then. I am now 75. Missed one day of voting. Baby came early.  If you don' vote then don't complain about who won.

This always happens to me.  Every single election, I say that I am going to vote early in the next one.  And then it sneaks up on me and it's too late by the time I think about it.

I've read this comment four or five times and still cannot understand it. Are you saying that you don't care who wins, but you voted as a favor to those who do care? If that's the case, then it seems to me that you did a disservice (what is the opposite of 'favor'?) for the roughly half of dedicated voters who were opposed to the candidates or issues you voted for.


I say vote for your OWN choices and issues because of how those candidates affect your own situation and values - not for someone else's blind opinions.  Apathy at the ballot box does favors for no one.
