Going after work. Considered finding someone who was voting opposite of me and going out for a beer. Figured it would null out and we'd skip the 2 hour lines in Ohio. My wife was not amused.
"Voting" from the comfort of a bar..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Hope my wife doesn't mind me writing her in for the 17th district house seat in Illinois. I couldn't bring myself to vote for either of the candidates running for that office.

Headed there now. 2 hours in the rain awaits me.
But I do get to vote to ban smoking in restaurants if I want to..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And, someone said something about a president or something..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

QUOTE (trackbird @ Nov 2 2004, 04:59 PM) But I do get to vote to ban smoking in restaurants if I want to..... :beer: Never smoked a cigarette in my life, but I think as Mark Russell put it, that it's almost fascist to pass laws telling private businesses what they can and can't do, particularly when it's an otherwise legal activity. That said, I was recently in California, and sure did like the smoke-free atmosphere when I was out. I got back to the hotel room and out of habit, sniffed my khakis to see if they had another night on the town left in them. |

It could be worse, your vote could not count (Illinois, and I only voted once) and you live close enough to Iowa that you're subjected to all of their ads. :smilie-with-gun-to-head: |

If I could have voted, I would have done it last week already since I am on the road for business. Wife went to vote this morning, decided the line was too long and went this afternoon instead.

Done. Absentee'd from Alabama. I also wrote myself in for one position that was running otherwise unopposed. (I know the guy running and basically, I couldn't let him get in without a fight...(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

The polls for the northern part of the county and the northermost city in the county were at opposite ends of the same gym. It sure was nice to just stroll casually by the the long city line and just vote with no waiting (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

4pm and I walked in, voted and was back in my truck, all within 5 minutes.
Why is it EVERYTHING in Texas is faster, bigger ... just better in general? All those other states really do suck, you know ... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) |

Texas: It's like a whole, well, "different" country.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Actually, sippin' drinks at the Oasis on Lake Travis would have been a FINE way to watch the election returns. By that I mean of course watching the sunset from one of the terraces, and occasionally checking out a TV on the way to the recycling station (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I can't believe Ohio had THAT much more turnout than other states.... I'm not sure, but I wish we'd have done it faster..... Ohio Results 5,478,202 counted. VS my old state West Virginia Results 745,094 counted (what a turnout???). California had almost double (rough math) the turnout, but they have lots more land to spread precints over. My line took forever, 3 others closed up while I was in line because they were done. The districting seems to be a problem here. 90% of the people in one line, 3 other lines that are almost empty. 3 voting machines per line. We, apparently, just suck......
