Making one last plea to everyone of age.
Please go out and vote today.
It won't take long, your voting place shouldn't be more than 5-10 minutes away and it takes only two minutes to vote, if that, so, find a half hour you have free and go vote.

Went out and voted already. Still not sure why I did. I only liked 2 or 3 candidates who were running and I left just about everything else right. There are actually candidates running for state office who didn't even bother to put up a web site. How sad is that?

I hate the fact that Nikki Haley cheated on her husband, but I am probably going to vote for her for governor anyways.

I would like to make a similar plea that if you don't know anything about who you're voting for, that you don't waste your time and everyone else's by voting.  |

I was tempted to write in Mickey Mouse for several offices, but was way too lazy to do the extra paperwork just to make a statement.

Went out and voted already. now that makes this grown man smile Didn't make me happy. I was looking at the ballot and was like, "hate that guy. Hate that guy even more. That guy is a right wing nut. That guy is a left wing nut. That guy didn't even bother putting up a campaign web site so I know nothing about him. That guy is running unopposed so he doesn't get my vote on general principles......." I ended up voting against he amendment to change our state constitution to preserve the "people's rights to own a gun." It'll pass by an overwhelming majority, but I think it's silly and ridiculous and wish they'd spend their time on stuff that actually matters. I also voted against the amendment that would say no one could be denied their vote for being mentally ill. I don't feel great about that vote, but I know if it passes that someone will load up a bus full of very, very low functioning people and demand that they be allowed to vote. |

I just read that Arnold cut off welfare benefits for psychics. I'm now a huge fan of his even though I know that he has basically bankrupted the state. |

I voted today and if Slappy hadn't started a thread, I would have. You may have voted differently from me, at least you let your voice be heard. I've got nothing but respect for that.

Voter turnout seems to be a lot higher than expected and well, usually higher turn out means good things for Democrats.

Just voted, proudly wearing my "Just voted" sticker.
I voted at approximately the same time as I did in the primaries. By this time in the primaries, I was voter number 60 something. This time I was voter 1364.

Son of a bitch, they said they'll call Kentucky at the top of the hour.
Rand Paul is the new Senator from Kentucky.
