Yeah, I am more nervous about the senate and house races. I don't want the new president to be saddled with haters.

I hope your dad is doing well, mebelle. Surgery~ma.
One of my Canadian Media subscription services has gone toes up and will disappear at the end of the month, so I am planning an evening of binge-watching Jane the Virgin, and keeping an occasional eye on your election results.
What will really happen is probably what happens every time I go to Shomi, I watch one episode of the intended show and then several more episodes of The West Wing. I've already done a rewatch of the entire series.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Dad~ma for you, msbelle.
It was about 30 minutes to vote this morning and we got there right as the polls opened. We had to do the family voting thing because of the one car right now.
The non-standardized voting we do in the States is absolutely crazy. So many ways for things to go wrong. Especially with the touch screens and their constant calibration issues. I like the scantron ballots we have here, since it has the all-important paper trail if there's a recount and anyone who has taken a standardized test knows how to fill them out.

Surgery ~ma for your father, msbelle.
We got in line this morning about 6:50 a.m. and got out about 8:20. We took the girl, and I hope she has good memories of this day. I took the day off from work, and am working at home on another project so I wouldn't have to talk to anyone / throat-punch anyone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, me too. Although I really enjoyed the old-fashioned voting machines I had in PA and NY. I think I had punch-cards in DC, but maybe they transitioned to some computer thing when I lived there? I forget. Vote all the ways!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad you're here, Karl.
Cookies in the voting line! I would buy so many Vote With Love cookies.
Yeah, I am more nervous about the senate and house races.
I am nervous about everything. Twice I thought, "America won't vote for Bush (again)" and I was wrong. I don't trust America to be sane anymore.

100%. Here, we got scantrons a couple election cycles ago, and it's much preferable; filling out a paper ballot relieves that worry that the vote didn't get counted correctly, and as you say, provides that all-important paper trail.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We need the Senate so Hilary can actually get judges on the Supreme Court. Which we need to get things like gerrymandering prohibited.

I LOVED the old lever machines we had in NYC. Do not like the wheel electronic things we have in Texas.

The lever machines in NYC are gone, gone, gone. We have SAT-test ballots now.
