I voted! First time in Vermont, I didn't vote in the previous local election because I just diidn't know the issues. Or what Ward I was in and I was lazy.

Being a small town in a small state it was easy, but kinda fun. There's 1 polling place for the City and 1 for the Town ( mostly everyone refers to St albans as just that but there's the City and Town, if you think of an irregularly shaped donut the City is the hole and the Town is the ever expanding donut).

Anyway, I went to Town Hall, gave my name got my Ward, went and got my ballot and voted. I did not get an I Voted Sticker.

There was only one issue besides the elections. It was straight forward and I saw some people I know.

Last night I called and talked to my Aunt and we talked about the glut of election ads and I told her about the weird Idaho ad but we managed not to talk specifics. Before the last election she told me Obama was evil. I don't know how she still stands on that and I'm not asking, it's just easier.

Someone replied to a post of his saying that if Obama wins these will be the last free elections we have. I cannot even.

If Obama wins, there's gonna be a whole lot of freaked-out Republicans. I wonder if they'll just think Obama stole the election.

Speaking of, I should probably just ignore a video of a voting machine refusing to accept a vote for Obama, right?

Because he's done so much to disenfranchise people during his first term?

I do not get it.

Re: bad voting machine. ON FB someone posted:

There are calibration issues with the machines in various states. It's been reported for both sides. Everyone should verify that their vote has been recorded properly.

Stupid-ass emotional roller-coaster election.

A guy I went to grade school with posted that it's a good thing the Black Panther Party didn't show up at his polling place or he'd be in jail right now. Racist fuck.

Yeah. Did you hear about how a Black Panther member held the door open at a polling place for a white woman?

Conservatives are outraged.

Anyone who needs to avoid election coverage can always turn on SyFy and watch Mongolian Death Worm. Seriously.

Speaking of SyFy, isn't the Firefly marathon coming up soon? And the reunion special?

You know, I was listening to This American Life, and there was a segment with a Republican and Democrat sister, and helping them to get along. So the mediators asked why the republican sister was so shocked that her sister was a democrat, and she said it was because liberals are selfish, and her sister would give people the shirt off of her back. So she was asked why she felt liberals were selfish, and she said it was because they didn't want to help anyone, they wanted someone else (the government) to do it.

And I wondered at how she just completely misreads liberals, and sometimes I wonder if I am seriously misreading conservatives.
