We had the "We think you're icky, so we don't want to give you any rights" proposition, a homeless shelter bond package, and a strong mayor inititive. And of course the "Should the counties of Whonow and Wherethefuckisthat incorporate the cities of LikeIgiveafuck and Sogladwegettovoteoneverygoddamnedamendment.

I got somewhere between 3 and 4 hours of sleep, maybe. A massive panic attack hit around 11 and listening to my heart trying to beat its way out of my chest was a bit of a snooze killer. Aftershocks woke me up again a 5. Thank goodness I don't get those too often. On the upside I was up and about with plenty of time for voting. On the downside I'll probably fall asleep at my desk in the next 4 seconds or so.

Up with the sun
We had the governor (go Tim Kaine), a bunch of unopposed local offices, and school board.

We had a bunch of city council members running (only one of whom I'd heard of), a mayoral race, and a whole lot of bond measures.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We had a bunch of local offices (including Mayor), and 4 propositions. The nice thing about voting early in the morning is you don't have to take any of the flyers being handed out on the subway -- "I already voted" will make them leave you alone.

Weren't any of the candidates handing out doughnuts at the subway? Chicago politicos love to do that to "thank the voters".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As someone who hasn't ever voted -- you don't ever have to take them. Sometimes I lie, sometimes I tell the truth, sometimes I tell some of the truth, sometimes I say nothing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We have a bunch of propositions here in Ohio--mostly they are "why are we letting corrupt Republicans gerrymander us out of existence and keep rolling in pay-to-play campaign contributions when we can stop it?" I voted for those. That and to keep someone like Ken Blackwell from stealing the election for someone like Bush again.
And a nice renewel of a city bond issue.

They don't give you an "I voted today" sticker to prevent that? Owen's wearing mine on his sweatshirt right now.
