I enjoy voting on election day. I'll be cleaned up and will wear a flag inspired shirt. Voting poll is a church about a mile from home. Never much of a line at 10am.

I voted R and NO across the board. Mailed it back on Monday

Voted by mail last week. Can't wait for election night!

I keep telling these people here, if it's a Bond its a Tax.
They also sneaking in another tax for garbage, don't they know we pay for trash pickup already in our property tax.
They no comprendo here.

Well, how about illegal weed? Is that good?

For what it's worth, I voted against "legalizing" it in Washington when the referendum came up, and I was an avid smoker at the time, too. My reason was all the tax revenue going to the state to be used for things I didn't agree with, and the trade-off being that you couldn't grow your own. 25% tax three different times before it ever gets to a store shelf and you have to have your state ID scanned to enter? Haha, blow me. Basically, giving the state MORE control and MORE money. I'm always going to vote against that. Johnny may be coming at it from the same direction.

Oddly enough, since mail in ballots, there hasn't been an R governor since.

Funny how that works, huh? Washington has the same thing, and no Republican has won since. One major reason we moved to Arizona when the chance came. My vote didn't mean shit in Washington. Hopefully it makes a difference here.

Voted 3 weeks ago, "In Person early voting"

My congressional district in Virginia is the most expensive CD race in Virginia.

CD7 is incumbent DEM Spanberger versus REP Yesli Vega. Generally considered a "toss up".

Sad thing here, for congressional races only 50% of registered voters actually vote.

I filled out my ballot all in red and tossed it into the gaping blue maw of Washington.

My legislative rep is a convicted felon on a robbery and gun charge who got her voting rights reinstated and then ran for office and won. Her first proposed legislation was to reduce sentencing ranges on drive-by shooters. It fortunately failed, but she is a restorative favorite who deserves a second (chance) term.

My congress puke went to Harvard and is a do nothing who went to Harvard and he went to Harvard.

The six term sack of uselessness Patty Murray is in her first real race in that period. Polling has her very bright-light opponent in a dead heat with her. But the (R) said some nice things about the bad orange man and, AND wants to prohibit abortion of any kind in all fifty-something states including, wait for it, Washington. Patty assures us she is on the side of life and stand for abortion. There is a real chance here though.

In my time in this district I've voted for Atticus Finch about 100 times for 40 positions but I left off this time and focused all of my saved up Karma to beat Patty Murry, Ohhummmmmmmmmm!

We vote by mail, and have for many years. I think it was in the very early 2000s that I voted in person for the last time.

I just find it so much better to sit at home and go over the ballot over the dining table with my wife. We can research any candidate we are unfamiliar with, like school board candidates and, well, it's just easier for us.

^^^^^ And there's no reason why everyone can't be sent a sample ballot so one has the opportunity to review it and do the same thing. Then everyone votes on election day.

Honestly, voting should not be as carefree and easy as we have made it.

Where I live, you simply go online and can review or download a sample copy of the ballot so you can review and research it. That is what I do each time. Then I vote in-person early to avoid the long lines on Election Day.

It's been that way in Texas since the internet has become common place. I can't imagine a state not posting on line. There's no need to go through the expense of printing and mailing ballots when the majority will be treated as junk mail and be tossed in the bin. Sad, but the multitudes that clamer voter suppression usually have no idea what they are voting for.

Good for you. We've got it here in Arizona and it's starting to become problematic. Shooting ranges have already put up signs stating that if they smell it on you, you're gone. Same goes for some gun stores.

So, when it was illegal, were the ranges and gun stores there throwing people out who smell like weed?

Damn hippies

Early voted here in north Texas on Wednesday. In and out in less than 10 minutes.

I told all my friends that I sincerely hope this is the last time I will ever see that nimrod Beto’s name on a ballot in Texas.

No props on the ballot as someone else said - just candidates here this time.

Yes, but they didn't have to post signs as it was an uncommon occurrence. Since it got legalized, it's become an extremely common occurrence.

Just did it, less than ten minutes


The Ad Valorem tax part was getting rid of the exemption for forestry and Farmers. Torn a bit on those.

I voted last week in person early voting. Iowa has a vote for whether the state constitution should include the 2nd Amendment this year. Some guy leaving remarked "abortion should be on there, it should be a choice for for the voters to decide." Some woman behind me loudly proclaimed "IT'S A WOMAN'S CHOICE!" The auditor staff said loudly "NO POLITICS IN HERE." All I could think of was the line in Dr. Strangelove. "Gentlemen. You can't fight in here, this is the War Room."

Don't understand why anyone would question your decision, it's yours to make, and you shouldn't have to defend it either.

And as to why a range would have that sign up, simple, because it's become an issue for them and people who aren't stoned with guns don't want to be near people who are, anymore than they want to be around someone who's been drinking and shooting.

Impaired and guns, whatever you use, is a no go...

First day we are allowed to vote early here. Did my part to help with parabellum's red tsunami.

Took my 4 year old daughter for the first time and let her help me on the voting machine. Had Constitutional Amendments up for vote here in TN as well. Hope the right ones win.
