    2011 Elections, part deux

    By Verified Atheist on Mon, 11/07/2011 - 9:08am |

    I don't really have much to add to my previous post on the 2011 elections TOMORROW, but since it is TOMORROW, I wanted to throw this back up on the front burner to help remind people that they need to vote TOMORROW.

    My question for today is, will you vote tomorrow, and if not, why not?

    I'm attempting to add this as a poll:

    Comments

    Note: you'll probably need to scroll within the window to press the "Vote" button on the poll.

    I already voted. We are a state that conducts all it's voting by mail, it is why we have such a high voter turn out rate. 

    Oh and I have voted in every single election since I moved back to the US, so since 1980, when I was 18.  I will not stop now, even though there were several years in the 1980's when my candidates lost, including Joe Walsh the musician, who would hold a sign at concerts that year, when he was traveling with The Eagles, that he was running for President. I voted for him! God that was a kick ass concert. Probably because I had the All Night Laundromat Blues.

    Bah! I knew I'd forget a good response option! Let's include "already voted" as "yes", no?

    Oh yes, I did pick yes as my response, hehehehehe.

    Sure.

     The local Democratic candidates are fine, we've contributed to the campaigns of several of them . The only Republican I've voted for since Ike's first run was for County Executive when the Democratic incumbent's signature  issue was opposing  the establishment of group homes for the developmentally disabled.

    We discussed that with him at a Cocktail Party/fund- raiser. His  response  was "You've got a  problem". He did. We voted for his opponent who won, narrowly.
