I Voted - Have You? (Reset)
I got my absentee ballot in the mail last Thursday. I will begin working on it tomorrow. AZ ballots are very complex. I spend several hours on it, as there is no way one can know all the down ballot races. But those offices tend to affect my daily life more than the top of the ticket offices. Judges, school board members, state commission members, lots of ballot props with confusing language, etc. I check every one of them out and, if they're partisan offices, I'll always, always vote against the Dem, anything that increases spending or debt, etc. But the ballot prop language can be tricky and it's very important to know what the true effect of a yes or no vote is. I will drop the ballot off in person in the next few days.

Went to vote today. Waited in line for about 15 minutes. One of the poll workers told me it has been busy like that for the last three days. Good to see the large turnout.

Agreed. You go to your local library or to your local city hall to vote early, and I bet the whole chain of procedures for authentication, physical and electronic security, and chain of custody, are potentially rife with MANY more opportunities for voting fraud crime than all that stuff that happens on actual voting day. As I mentioned previously, if I trusted the early voting "systems", I'd vote early for sure. But I don't, so I'm waiting till voting day. I HOPE all Republican ballots already processed in the early voting systems, especially in Democratically controlled areas, are properly and honestly stored, counted, and processed on actual voting day. I just don't want to HOPE my early vote would be counted, after 15, 30, or 60 days of just sitting somewhere physically or electronically, and then magically show up on the voting boards on TV when the polls close. I just don't trust dark closets, old computer files, just sitting around waiting to be officially and properly counted. It's too creepy given the widespread fraud that I think we may face this time around.

Being I live well behind enemy lines here in Chicago I find it easy to vote for the 2 pages of judges on the ballot, NO, to every one of them!
ALL Dems.
Only the very few republicans on the ballot get my vote, even though most are Republicans in name only.
My Ballot will get mailed at the end of the week.

My wife and I voted today. She had a Dr appointment first and the nurse told her that there had been a two hour wait at the library. When we got to the library it was about a 1 hour and 45 minute wait

Took me about 90 min to complete my mail-in ballot at my kitchen table today. I had to leave a few things blank, as they were non-partisan and there was just not an iota of info in Google on them. I then dropped it off at a polling station in Scottsdale. The poll workers were friendly, asked if I had signed the envelope and put my phone # on it, in case they had any questions.

Voted today and dropped it at the election center for our county. I don't trust the USPS to get it delivered.

I voted in person today, it was quite busy but moved along quickly. While I was there I overheard one of the county auditor workers had just gotten back from mailing out absentee ballots to the post office. I gathered from the conversation a Sheriff's deputy takes the auditor's office employee to the post office in a squad car. Never really thought about that before but it makes sense. Two person accountability and security of outgoing ballots addressed to absentee voters to at least the handover to USPS.

I just voted at our local library, walking right in and going straight to a check-in clerk with no waiting (in 2020, early voting a little later in the day and closer to the election at the same location took me 4 hours).

I can't tell you how nice it felt to vote for the other candidate instead of our current District Attorney Fani Willis. When she was originally elected, I voted for her because she promised to run a clean shop, unlike her crooked predecessor (and there was no Republican candidate at the time). Unfortunately, it was all for show and everyone's seen how politically motivated and how loose with her expenses she's been.

Dropped our ballots off in the drop off box by the library.

I learned with good suspicion that mailed ballots have to go through liberal Maricopa county and I wouldn't put it past operatives to conveniently lose or misdirect ballots from predominantly conservative towns.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Mailed in my ballot on Saturday. First time I ever voted via absentee ballot, but since I’m currently working in CA, but am domiciled in NY, there really wasn’t a way to vote in person. I certainly wasn’t going to break my perfect voting streak in this election.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

First day of early voting in St Lucie County Florida. Waited about ten minutes in line, I was number 278.

Voted about 9:30 am this morning. Wife just now voted and had to wait 25 minutes. Over 1000 people voted at this one polling station so far today, according to the wife. That’s a good sign.
Tonight I’m sending money to Tim Sheehy, Ted Cruz, Hung Cao, Bernie Moreno, and Eric Hovde.
Don’t forget the down ballot folks! We need to take the Senate and increase our presence in the House.
