With election tuesday. Thought start up a post that people could say if they voted or not. No political arguments please.

Maybe if there is a lot of support might encourage people who werent going to vote to vote.


I voted

That might work better.

This thread was obviously made as flamebait for Europeans who aren't allowed to vote! :p

Wait, we aren't allowed to vote?!

I know Halo, it comes as a shock, doesn't it? I mean, we Europeans obviously know more about the entire matter at hand and are as such more suited to vote!

If we want do know how much something weighs in "stones" or how many "litre's" of ale you can drink at the pub we will ask you.... until then we can handle the American stuff :)

I bought someones vote for 10000pp, in Florida of course.

'If we want do know how much something weighs in "stones" or how many "litre's" of ale you can drink at the pub we will ask you.... until then we can handle the American stuff'

- Shag off.

i bet, elren must be buying gloves right now for his HUDGE hands

Vote Tomorrow!!!!!

Vote often!!!!

I will sell my vote for a bagillion plat.....PST!!! :p

What state is it in? You might get that for it, some places...

Good ole PA where both Bush & Kerry have visited quite allot. ;)

Thats quite alot of people who apparently live in states that allow you to vote early or have submitted absentee ballots.

More likely people who can't follow directions.

42 americans voted!

I voted early and sent abenstee ballot :) Nah just voted early

My sister, in Pennsylvania, doesn't want to drive the 45 minutes to the polls to vote. Good thing too, since she was gonna vote for Bush :)

Ill drive her :devil

I'll tell your wife!


I voted early, I'm glad Maine gives the option.

HAHAHAHA rock on, republican guys got busted in florida Removing Kerry signs from yards and buisnesses. They were paying kids $5 a sign to steal them....

That's awesome, you're awesome.

I told my wife I'll drive her. Also told her Kelraz's voting preference, among other preferences, she laughed.

yea, did you tell her you made the devil smiley too? She'd probably divorce you if she knew.

Oops nope ohh well...

Can anyone suggest a site if i want to follow-up your election?

omg, iam really furious about people still beeing fooled by that no good lying bastard Bush....Oh, and for thoose who live in America and havent checked out Michael Moores latest film; Farenheit 9/11, please do so before you vote today...all people in the world kinda depends on how the American people vote....thats kinda interesting by the way...Since the Americans can just invade just about any country with any reason, and some even more stupid countrys will tag along...

/PsY

Oh, and for thoose who live in America and havent checked out Michael Moores latest film; Farenheit 9/11, please do so before you vote today...

Or, if you don't care for Mr. Moore, you can always watch "Pump Up The Volume" with Christian Slater. The song "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen was featured in that movie, and it is a good song for this election. Other than that, the movie has about as much relevance to the election as Moore's movie does, IMO. Moore's movie was a joke, as is being exposed more and more on an almost daily basis.

Just be sure to vote, please.

Not true.
Have you seen the movie? I suppose you have not. Otherwise you would accually understand that his latest movie DOES have with the election to do. He reveals the god damn truth about the republican president! Final.

Got to the polling location 30 min before doors opened. Waited 2 hours to get in, good times. Was quite uneventful and smooth.

And Bise won this thread the with 'stones' and 'litres' comment.

Good grief I have never seen this much traffic in York PA this time of the morning. Allot of people are voting, I had a relatively short wait since I got there early (15 min or so). But, I hate it for those poor souls who came after me.

I got to the polls at 6:30 this morning. (they didn't open til 7). Thank goodness they at least had the doors open for us to wait inside. (it was cold and rainy) I was first in line (wooohoo), about 10 mins after I got there the rest of them started pouring in. I told my husband he might want to tell his boss he will be coming in late from his lunch break. If it was that busy at 7 when I left (line already around the hall), I hate to see what it will be like on his lunch break.

WHOOO HOOO!!! 700 votes found on Philly voting machines BEFORE polls open! This is going to be a long night/week/month.

But who were the votes for? And can we get a link to a story?

Who knows it's a headline on www.drudgereport.com (http://www.drudgereport.com)


Before voting even began in Philadelphia -- poll watchers found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered throughout the city... One incident occurred at the SALVATION ARMY, 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa: Ward 37, division 8... pollwatchers uncovered 4 machines with planted votes; one with over 200 and one with nearly 500... A second location, 1901 W. Girard Ave., Berean Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, had 300+ votes already on 2 machines at start of day... INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa.; INCIDENT: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa... Pennsylvania GOP filing suit in Court of Common Pleas to have machines in question impounded, replaced with machines that did not already have votes on them... MORE... A gun was purposely made visible to scare poll watchers at Ward 30, division 11, at 905 S. 20th St., Grand Court. Police were called and surrounded the location... Developing...

Left the house at 7:30 (lucky me stayed home sick for second day in a row:( ), and was back home 45 minutes later after casting my vote.

Traffic was starting to get pretty bad as I was leaving the polling place, so I imagine it is going to be much worse as the day rolls on.

As for Psydex and his fascination with Moore and his movie, let me assure you #1, I did not vote for Bush and #2, I did indeed see Moore's movie and #3, Moore distorts the "truth" in the same way as the Taliban distort the Koran; i.e. he finds the one little piece or sentence that fits what he wants to push as his agenda and builds everything else around it to make it work.

He has no credibility. I seriously hope anyone who votes against Bush has better reasons than having seen a propaganda movie. I know my reasons for voting against him were much more important to me than anything in that silly movie. And, I also hope that those voting against Kerry do so based on more important reasons than those disgusting Swift Boat ads.


Get out and vote folks.:cool:

I voted for our new President.

Oh, so its probably bullshit?

WHOOO HOOO!!! 700 votes found on Philly voting machines BEFORE polls open! This is going to be a long night/week/month.
And I bet those are votes for Al' Gore, so he is your president?
:)

Just DO EET, go vote

WHOOO HOOO!!! 700 votes found on Philly voting machines BEFORE polls open! This is going to be a long night/week/month. Here's the story behind this, from the AP wire:
An army of zealous, partisan political operatives descended on polling locations around the state Tuesday, looking for any signs of voting irregularities, and election officials planned to spend the day investigating fraud allegations. Republican observers in Philadelphia lodged some of the earliest complaints, claiming that voting machines in the city already had thousands of votes recorded on them when the polls opened at 7 a.m.

City election officials and the district attorney rushed to some of the precincts in question, and quickly said the GOP poll watchers had gotten it wrong.

Deputy City Commissioner Ed Schulgen and Cathie Abookire, a spokeswoman for District Attorney Lynne Abraham, said the observers had pulled the numbers from an odometer that records every vote ever cast on the machine in every election - and not the counter that records how many votes will be counted for this election.

"It's absolutely ridiculous," Schulgen said.

Ridiculous or not, rumors of widespread fraud quickly made their way on to the Internet and circulated nationally. From Marge Tartaglione, Philadelphia City Commissioner:
"Recent press reports have stated that machines in at least one precinct were not properly calibrated to ensure an accurate accounting of the number of votes cast." "These allegations are completely unsubstantiated and have no factual
basis whatsoever."

Sad. Let's see if Drudge apologizes.

I agree with you Bylimet that people should have more on their feet than just a movie, i also get the feeling that you doesnt like mikes work bringing the "truth" to comon knowledge, though i think its every citizens Responsability to be aware of the truth, doesnt really matter who does the documentary about the subject, though i personally think that the people should know how their so called president act at his post...
Maybe you dont agree...

/PsY

Oooh nice. Apparently if you post that you don't believe the drudge report you get to be anonymously called a "douchebag". Its amazing the well thought out logical arguments that the reputation system allows for.

A little humor for the occasion, courtesy of Letterman:

Top Ten Punchlines To Dirty Election Jokes

10. "With a poll like that, I'm suprised he can gallup at all."

9. "She starts chanting, 'four more minutes! four more minutes!'"

8. "That's not the voting lever, but don't stop pulling."

7. "This isn't how it looks--I'm just joining a third party."

6. I prefer Bush, but I don't know who I'll vote for."

5. "So that's where Katherine Harris was hiding the Al Gore votes."

4. "Unfortunately, his margin of error was plus or minus three inches."

3. "Get used to it, honey--we live in a swing state."

2. "I thought you had trouble maintaining an election."

1. "I saw your sister with Mary Cheney--there was no sign of Dick."

I took one from psydex8posts to you Trell.
Please vote.

oh oh, thats nice, just becouse i dont have over 200 posts iam less worthy of an oppinion...thats...fine...

It's because your opinion is fucking retarded. I'm glad you think you are an authority on American politics now because you viewed a propoganda-ridden film by a complete moron such as Michael Moore.

Oh, and as for voting. I drove 5 minutes, walked in, voted, left. Took about 10 minutes. =D

there are things in the moore movie that are extremely moving, that said, by no means is it an unbiased completely truthful account of Bush's term in office. And I'm a Kerry voter.

edit to add: i drove 3 blocks to vote, waited in line 2 hours (1 in the rain) at 10 am this morning. Wife went to same poll 30 mins before it opened and still waited an hour after the polls opened to vote. Looks like the rain hasn't affected voter turnout too horribly today here in Ohio. That said, of the people that I talked too inline, i've have to say 90% of them were voting for Kerry. I live in a diverse, middle class neighborhood, and voted in a church.

My voting story:

Drove about 12 minutes, walked in (mine was held in a local Senior citizens center), voted, and left.

*Beams at his sticker* :D .

Oh yeah, and my personal appreciation (FWIW) to those who stand hours in lines (sometimes in the rain) to vote. That honestly deserves a lot of credit, no matter who you vote for.

Had a five minute drive and was able to vote right away. One of the benefits of living in a town of 2000 I guess.

Two freaking hours this morning. I *hate* getting up at 5AM just to be at the polls when they open. Blearg.

I drove about 100 yards, parked, walked in, showed my ID (with my old address), voted, and walked out to my car. Total was about 7 minutes.

I drove about 100 yards
you lazy bum :P

Well I was on my way to work. It just happened that my polling place was 100 yards down the road I take to go to work.

I was in and out in 10 minutes, I waiting until 10am and VPNd into work for the morning. It felt really good to vote this year, many people take it for granted.

My polling place is right across the street from work. :)

I was the 3rd person on line at my polling place at 6am EST this morning. I voted and by the time i was leaving, 40 people were behind me. I think turnout will be large and thats bad news for Bush.

I voted for Bush. I live in NYC, which does not mean my vote really helps...it just ensures that it will not be a shutout by Kerry in the Big Apple.

I just hope whoever wins will win by enough that there are no questions, legal problems etc...4 more years of "selected, not elected" will give me an ulcer.

I don't think that we can possibly have a problem free election this year. If there somehow were no problems both sides would probably just make some up. I am prepared for this election to go down in history as the worst ever. I just hope that if I am right we will see alot of reforms made to fix the system.

here in san diego theres a huge bush support, standing in line all i was hearing was kerry bashing, rather annoying even if i am voting for bush


oh well, heres to hoping in 4 years we have better candidates

I would be surprised if in Rudy Giuliani does not run in 2008.

If its Bush today, 2008 could be Rudy vs. Hillary....that would be a fun one :eek:

If its Kerry today Rudy vs. Kerry would depend alot on how the next 4 years go.

Rudy is a very polarizing figure. He was not nearly as popular before 9/11 as he became after it. He did some things that make you scratch your head (ie: removing funding for a public art gallery because he found one of the paintings offensive)

The people who like him, love him though. He is a tough on crime, non-appeaser who is mostly centrist as a republican.

He could be the next Republican star, imo.

Voted for Bush..... 50 minutes in line with my three kids... I never had brought them with me before but they were interested in how it works... 3 kids and me in the booth :)

Mm, I dont know all of his politics, but I'd likely vote for Rudy in 2008. Unless Powell ran, then it would be a really tough choice.

I would be surprised if in Rudy Giuliani does not run in 2008.
I bet we'd see Pataki run before him.

Voted earlier. Half a block walk from my house to the polling location. Can't beat that.

Went this morning, its nice living in a small town. Just a few old people standing around shooting the bull.

I can Sanchek. Voted right across the street from my house.

Proudly cast my vote for George W. Bush in the most important state of Florida!! Four more years! Had to wait in line for over an hour to do it to. From the looks of things, Bush is taking the state! :D

took me 2hrs and 40min in early voting in florida to vote heh. Listening to Bud heddinger some people waiting over 4hours today here in central fl.

took me like 40 min early voting sat .:cool:

I just hope whoever wins will win by enough that there are no questions, legal problems etc...4 more years of "selected, not elected" will give me an ulcer.
Amen. Let the best man win BIG.

No line at my polling place. I wasted my vote earlier today on a 3rd party candidate.

I also voted NO on every judge and corporation commion member, as is my normal routine.

Vote or I will motherfucking kill you!

Vote or I will motherfucking kill you!
Puffy? You play EQ? :eek: :p :eek:

Oh and about Pataki running before Giuliani...not a chance. Pataki is nowhere near the star power that Giuliani is. Next time around the dems will probably bring out Hillary meaning the the repubs need someone with huge-ass name recognition. At the moment there are only two who fill the bill. Rudy and Governor Terminator. There is that pesky law about only US born citizens becoming president, so that counts him out.

Its going to be Rudy in 2008, put the money on it now and get good odds.
