My voting story
man this is like the never ending root canal election...can we shorten the process a bit? All this process does is benefit consultants, pollsters, media, hookers, strippers, etc..
I knew I'd vote for Hillary since she conceded and threw her support behind President Obama in mid 2008 so not much suspense but I still very much enjoyed voting for her.. voting early rocks. there was no line at all...In Virginia you can vote absentee every day but Sundays...I did not observe any voter fraud or "rigging" going on...not sure how it would happen.. the electoral officials had a high degree of paranoia.. there was a "spoiled Ballot" situation and a lot of tension (exciting!) ensued regarding how to dispose of it..they folded it just so 8 times, stapled it together and wrote VOID on it and stuck it in the spoiled ballot envelope and said they would go over it again at the end of the day...the woman who made a mistake apologized profusely for holding up the line. .I said it was not a big problem (although deep down my less charitable side thought "Who makes a mistake?")....
I voted yes on funding parks, transportation and schools (including internet!)...The only controversial vote was on unions.. ... I did not vote for Libby Garvey for Arlington Council.....instead I voted for that woman who has been running since 1784 as a "Green" candidate but never wins but her signs are all over Arlington all the time (Clement)... maybe she doesn't want to throw away her signs?.. ..I have to say I have grown to absolutely loathe Republicans to record levels and if there was an election between pond scum and a Republican I would go for pond scum or write in Vermin Supreme.
