Title: Elections Tuesday
Post by: ktheodos on November 04, 2018, 04:30:14 am
I hope everybody gets out and votes! Or perhaps already voted. I am ready for all the ads to stop and it to be over.

Yes, you need to vote.  Express yourself!  It is part of our freedoms.  Many countries wish they had this freedom.  This is a way for you to express your values.

I vote absentee so I don't have to wait at the polls and the phone calls are very bothersome

I vote on election day and consider myself lucky.  I've never had to wait in line.

I vote early. one because  I  work Tuesday at the ministry of Hope.  2  I don't want  to have to stand  in line and  have to feel like I have to rush through it. 3 I can't stand the poll people that stand out side of the courthouse and they rush up and start  demanding who you voted for. It is none of their darn business. and I won't answer them even when then tell me it is my civic duty to answer their questions. No it is not.

I agree wit you all we need to vote and use our vote to get things done  I don't agree with the peeps badgering us as we leave the polling places  it is only my business who I vote for and I too am starting to get tired of all the ads for the election  the conflict of the ads toward each other to me is a form of bullying in my eyes and it makes me nervous wonder if anyone else feels this way  I know I'm sensitive  but Geez Louise

Voting is something you are entitled to. You earn this when you turn 18 years old. Of course you may not  like the candidates but you can still vote :peace:

I feel so blessed to have been born and raised in this country, I consider it an absolute obligation to vote; never miss any election whatsoever.

Everyone needs to vote not matter who you vote for - it is what makes our country different from everyone else.

I wish I could vote on term limits for Congress.... that would be awesome.

I haven't voted yet, but I will be voting Tuesday morning. Everyone needs to vote, write in a candidate if you don't like either, or just leave it blank - but vote for the props in your state for sure... do it for the suffragettes who marched for the civil rights of women to be allowed to vote.   

Can't wait till it's over... soon. :)

Every one should vote, if you don't vote you can't complain.

I don’t really care who’s governor, president, etc. anymore. It’s not as if any such person has done a good deed for me.

  I voted early last Monday October 29th.   It is much easier for me this way, since if I waited until election day November 6th I would have to vote a couple of mile away but I can early vote at the Church down the street.     (I no longer have a car)    The screwy thing is I used to be able to vote at the Church down the street on election day a few years ago until that was changed,GO FIGURE, lol.

It seems like I have only voted for the losing candidates for the past several years.  Sure hope it turns out different this time!!

Yes I am planning on voting tomorrow.  I am blessed to live in a country where I have the privilege to do so.

I don't feel like waiting on a long line in the cold. Just being honest ... it's pretty iffy whether I'm going to actually vote this year.

 It would be nice if we had early voting but I always vote.

Then you need to dress for it.  It is a civic honor and a civic responsibility to get out and cast your vote!

But I think it is equally a civic responsibility to educate yourself about the issues and candidates - which many people DO NOT do. Vote, but do it responsibly.

I'm ready to stop getting mail.  To be fair though, it's not getting on my nerves near as much as everyone else I know.

I always vote. I feel like if you cannot bother to vote then you do not get to gripe about how things are going.  LOL   I will be happy to quit getting phone calls, tons of junk mail  and all the ads on radio and tv.

I live like a 3 minute walk from my polling place, the gym of a grammar school, and I am always the only one, or only one of a few people, there to vote. I get in and out in about 3 minutes. The whole thing from house to back again takes
at most 10 minutes and that's if I dawdle and look at flowers, etc. on the way.

I never voted before I feel like voted takes up too much time because you could only vote when your 18

I worked as an Alternate Judge in a precinct in my county on Election Day Tuesday.  If you could see it from the perspective of the election workers you might cherish your opportunity to vote a little more.  We work hard!  There are so many details involved (training is mandatory per the Secretary of State) in ensuring each voter has the place, the proper materials and the privacy to vote as they wish.  We are the front line to preserving the integrity of the votes cast.  No sweeter words are uttered until someone says, "Thank you for being here and serving today."

I voted, my state did well but others just voted against Trump.  If you want your state to get nothing done and complain why they can't do anything the just vote for demacrats.  They will give you plenty to gripe about.

Unfortunately, I was away on business on November 6th. So I was unable to vote. I usually do not vote anyway; I do not believe that "one vote makes a difference" anymore.
