The 'Official' I Voted Thread ... What Was Your Experience?

my experience was great, went to the poll at 9:30 when I figured would be a good time and it was slick and smooth. Loved to do it, might do it again. LOL.

Littleton, Colorado here. Took me literally 15 minutes to vote. It went very well.

i wonder how many people were voting republican or democrat when they were able to vote with a 30 minute wait.

OP, I'm also in north Georgia, and I voted at 4:35PM and had absolutely no wait at all. It was pretty excellent.

I'm in upstate SC. Got in line about 5:30 in my small town, and the people said "polls are closed" as soon as I entered my vote. That's 90 min wait just under the buzzer. We have had some places around here where the wait was literally 3-4 hours!

I've never seen anything like this around here. Truly an unusual happening. There have even been places where people left because they were being taunted by people outside the polls, telling them that if they chose one way or another, they were bad parents, etc!

As for me, I'm glad it's almost over.


Have a good night :)


PT

Thanks for the thread WOTE! I thoroughly enjoyed it all day. And thanks to everyone who posted. Very interesting to see everyone's experiences, the differences, etc.

Great voting! No line at all....Nice paper ballot :) Just filled in the little circle and that was it.

Voted third party for President (YEA ME!!!) :)

Actually....on our ballot here in NW Mississippi -

I voted:

1 Constitutional
1 Republican
1 Democrat
1 Independent
3 Judges (non-partisan)

I spread the love :) :) (not on purpose, just the way it worked out!!!!!)

Yes very cool thread

Children:
Some facts you all really need to consider.

1. In a country that allows obscenely large corporate campaign contributions, leaders are beholden and therefor basically figure-heads.

2. Most media is now under the controll of multinational conglomerates, therefor it is in the best interests of the shareholders to elect the party that will continue to de-regulate just about everything. Corporations are bound by law to do what is in the financaial best interests of there shareholders even when obeying that law breaks others.

3. It is easier to get away with stealing an election if you pretend to favor the candidate you don't want right up till the end and then basically SELL the installation of the other ticket.

4. Appropriately cynical humans who actually QUESTION what they see, read and hear can easily see that the last eight years have been utterly dominated by fascists. READ SOME @#$&%@&@! HISTORY DAMNIT!

5. There is cause for hope, however, as the American tolerance for bull#$@& is seemingly at an end. But don't get too excited though. A Democrat president only means the squeezing of the common folk has to shift into low gear.

6. Lastly, no matter how honorable a man Barack Obama is, nobody, (lets repeat that, NOBODY) stands in the way of the multinational conglomerate corporations when litteraly "TRILLIONS" are on the line.

Now how's that for an eye-opening dose of realism! WAKE THE F&%$ UP SHEEP.

You are so very welcome Poe, I enjoyed reading about everybody's experience.

I wasn't on last night - went to a friends to watch the returns.

See you soon Poe .... if you ever come toward Atlanta you should let me know!

Love your new Pic Nikki! Hugs!

I sure will! We like to go down there and visit Ikea every so often and we'd like to hit the aquarium sometime.
