No worries, Erika. I be votin'.

I'll be voteing - there is just a lot to figure out. I did about half of it tonight

Hey, can I vote if they spelled my name wrong when registering me?

I think matt had that problem once , Emily. and they did let him vote - he eventually corrected it.

Do you have your voter's registration card? Does your state require other forms of id?

(I have questions -- but no answers.)

Hmmm, John Corbett is starring in Showtime's remake of Manchild. I wonder which guy he's playing. . . the Nigel Havers character? Was he the "star" of that show?

I will be voting too, but I need to figure out how.

I put all of my clean clothes away! It might mean more if more of my clothes were actually clean, but still, YAY me.

I already voted.

I'm going to be voting.

In my head, we still had another week left of obnoxious campaign ads. I can't tell you how happy it makes me that we only have two more days of obnoxious campaign ads.

I sent in my absentee ballot. (I'm still registered in NJ. Once I graduate grad school and end up somewhere that I know I'll be staying more than a few years, I'll switch my registration. Also, once I'm living somewhere that my vote will actually count for something.)

I am also so sick of campaign ads. We've been getting them from Maryland and Virginia, and both are just irritating. Though the John Allen and Jim Webb ones from Virginia have sometimes gotten a bit amusing -- the quotes from the novels were at least different.

I have to go back to New Mexico to vote. (I'm making this like it's a huge deal and I'm so patriotic, when really I would have been back there anyway.) I've not technically moved yet, and as I just (finally!) signed my lease this week, I haven't been able to prove residency in Arizona yet to vote here.

But I'm kinda glad, because I'll get to vote at the chapter house one last time, and that's fun. Plus it's a Navajo Nation presidential election year, so it'll be all very exciting and there'll probably be food. There's a reasonable chance that a woman will be elected president for the first time in Navajo history (Go Lydia Lovejoy!) so we're all rooting for her. It's a matriarchal society so it surprises me a little there hasn't been one yet. But the women I know are all, "Hey, let's get a woman in there. She can clean up the messes the men left behind, just like we all do!" The corruption and craziness of Navajo politics is just out of control. I'm hoping for a good election result.

But anyway, yeah, I still have a little homework to do. Not being physically there, I haven't heard the comparisons for the local offices. I'll have to see if the local paper has them online, or I'll need to abstain from those smaller elections.
