There were only two races on my ballot this morning. One of them, though, was a tea party lunatic running for mayor, so I feel my civic duty was well covered.
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't decide where to put this one, but I think DH's latest TwoP gallery will be of interest to several Buffistas.
Aw, good times.
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THOR2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got nothing to vote on, which makes me feel less startled by the day. I saw on my calendar that it was election day, but my mail...not telling me much. Did not know/remember vote411.org. Bookmarked.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In my district, most of the "real" voting happens in the primaries, and so most of my preferred candidates are not on the ballot. Maybe I'll vote Socialist for Brooklyn borough president.

I voted! And now I am doing deeply onerous tasks, like printing out health care powers of attorney that we need to sign and have notarized and such. And I am eating Halloween candy. Who the fuck bought all these Whoppers?

I accidentally left my ballot on the kitchen counter when I left on this trip. Oops. So I dot get to vote for the socialist for city council, or for the mayor over the gay state senator (but then, I'm not actually against him, so who cares?)

Ann, that's a ferret.
VA split things up so there's an important election every year. So I get a governor's race and a state assembly race. I did the early voting because, leave the house by 6:15 to get to work on time (at least when I-66 isn't jammed from Vienna Metro back past Fairfax County Parkway, like it was today) and then leave at 4:00 for a 5:30 doctor appointment that ends about 6:20, doesn't exactly make it easy to vote between 6:00 a.m and 7:00 p.m. And I have at least 4 uberpriority, do-it-now projects at work, so taking the day off isn't an option.
