I'm lucky when it comes to ballots. I'm actually in the town of Madison vs. the city, so my ballot is very short. I took one look and went straight Demcratic. We only had two ballot initiatives and they were no-brainers. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Kathy, do we have any initiatives I should know about?
(What? We're not California.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's an initiative asking whether the state should give a voucher for a free bottle of booze to Cubs fans....

Do any NYistas know of a good online guide to the minor races on our ballot?

Brenda, there is one question asking if the IL constitution should be amended to establish a recall process for state elected officials.

I have Halloween off, so I'm dragging Hubby off because we do have early voting in Utah. I know I can't swing the reddest of counties in the reddest of states to Obama, but dammit he's going to get at least one from here.
Hubby's not voting for Obama. I didn't ask who he's voting for, because there are conversations I avoid in my house. Hubby's got weird blind spots that don't react well to having the lights turned on them.
