The "I Voted Today" thread (Page 1/5)

I done did the deed.

The polling place was at a church a couple of miles away. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I was one of only two voters present. To tell the truth, I think they were all bored silly and just glad to see a real human being.

Nice!

I voted early last week I think... Tuesday maybe? It was pretty busy... there were a LOT of people there at the early voting location. But it's the ONLY location near the Republican area, so I kind of expect it.

I'll drop into Michigan tomorrow to do it !!!



(Sad part is, I'd probably get away with it )

In that I'm scheduled to work a polling station on the 8th, I went in last week and voted early. Nothing controversial on this ballot. Pick your chosen candidate and let r rip.

I don't see this district going blue or purple this mid-term. I believe the state will stay blue red (except for cities like Jackson).
I view voting not just as a right but, as a responsibility. If you don't care how the government is run, stay home.

I think blackrams just said "blue" when he meant to say "red".

Thanks for catching that, I was briefly distracted.

Not to one up you but, I believe properly verified ballots while counted is ultimately most important.
This mail in crap is just an easy way to cheat.

There is a proposition on the ballot which might solve some of those problems: AZ prop 309

from Ballotpedia :

quote
Proposition 309 would add requirements for Arizona citizens casting a mail-in ballot, as well as changing voter ID requirements for in-person voters.

For mail-in voting, voters casting a mail-in ballot would have to add two new pieces of information to their affidavit: their date of birth and a voter ID number. The voter ID number would be the number on a voter’s driver's license or government issued ID number, or the last four digits of their social security number. Currently, the voting affidavit only requires the signature of the voter. This signature is verified by comparing it to the voter’s signature on record with voter registration documents.

For in-person voting, voters would no longer be able to present an alternative to photo ID at the voting booth. Currently, a voter is able to present two pieces of non-photo identification as an alternative to a photo identification. These pieces of identification can include a utility bill, vehicle registration, voter registration card, or more. Under this measure, a voter would need to present a form of photo identification while voting in person. This would include a driver’s license or government-issued ID.

The $12 fee for Arizona’s state ID card would also be waived under this measure.


I have always voted in person and have always been required to show my Driver License. Guess which way I voted.

Sounds like a plan to me. Hope it passes.
