Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Actually, there was one competitive race in our district, for State Senator. Which is why you're seeing all those signs to vote down the Working Family Party line: All the candidates are the same as the Democratic ticket, except for that one office.
And I did vote for the WFP candidate, because he's the one who is anti-Atlantic Yards.

Isn't it really the "Rent Is Too Damn High" party? Even better.
I think it is, but they don't print the swearing on the ballot.
I set my alarm last night intending to vote this morning because I got the okay to be late. Then morning happened. So I'm going to vote after work. I have my voter registration card, an out-of-state license (shut up, I'm lazy and it doesn't expire until 2008), a social security card, a major credit card, and several pieces of mail, so I'm hoping I'll be able to vote without having to return home for more "dude, I totally live here!" ammo.
I voted this morning and, as always, it was easy and no waiting. (Although I was told that there had been times this morning when there was a line.)
My current plan for today:
1) Work as little as possible.
2) Go vote.
3) Nappy times.
4) Make curried chicken salad.
5) Reap benefits of owning TiVo.
I voted, there was a line but only for the part of the alphabet I'm not in.
My vote for congress will go my way. My vote for senate will not go my way but will be close. Of the six issues I voted on, three will go my way but the three controversial ones will not. Almost everything else was unopposed.
Then morning happened. So I'm going to vote after work.
shrift is me. But I knew it was going to happen, so didn't bother with the whole early alarm and all that. Hoping the past is an indication and the real rush is in the morning.
No real lines at my polling station at 6:45ish this morning.
We had a seriously complicated issue on the ballot which was pulled. Seems there was a last minute conflict surrounding the number of legal signatures to get the issue on the ballot. It was about workers' compensation (a HOT topic here in Ohio). But it included a provision that made it possible for people who are raped while on the job to get workers' compensation payments for missed work. I'm boggled that that wouldn't be allowed now. I mean, you'd have to take sick time for missed work or not get paid?
