I Voted

Clodfobble · 10-21-2008, 03:11 PM

I know I said I wasn't going to bother, but early voting began yesterday, and Mr. Clod just happened to stay home sick from work today. So while the kids were sleeping, I was able to skip over to the community center a few blocks away and get it done.

Does that make me the very first Dwellar to do my civic duty?

Merc voted some time ago...1998, I think.

I mailed in my ballot a week ago. :-)

I mailed mine yesterday.

I voted a week and a half ago on a machine in the registration office. (Which means mine gets counted with the rest of them, not just if there is a tie.)

glatt · 10-21-2008, 03:27 PM

If enough of us have already voted, can we stop talking about election year politics?

classicman · 10-21-2008, 03:29 PM

Don't you watch tv glatt? The elections been over for weeks.

I am probably being a bit thick here. I don't understand the mechanisms of American elections, but what votes are only counted in the event of a tie? Surely, either you've cast the vote or you havent?
