i already voted absentee...cuts out the lines.

supposed to be long lines everywhere, and supposed to be worse tomorrow.

don't even want to comment on the shenanigans that will probably pop up.

your boss HAS to give you time to vote. its a federal law.

flower child Nov 3, 2008 7:47 AM voting.

 

 

 

Yesterday (sunday) I had a headache and stayed home with my 5 year old little boy and my husband went to vote with our other little boy 10 years old.He came back five hours later!!I haven't voted yet, I want to give my support to baroak obama and I'm worried that on nov 4. my boss is not about to let me leave for five hours just to vote. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems so unprofessional and inefficient to have to wait so long to vote. I hope this does not happen on Tuesday. We vote here at our local library. or we could vote at the nearby church or nearby elememtary school. My husband thought the library would be fastest. When he got there the parking lot was completly full, so he had to park by the cow pastures and left his car near a horse stable. He said that he waited two hours just to enter the library. The line wrapped around the building and inside the line wrapped around the bookshelves!!My little boy was reading books for those hours and he listened to the political arguments of the people on line. I guess he will remember the election of 2008 for the rest of his life!Anouk

 

 

 

 

 

For in a Republic, who is “the country� Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant—merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.

Good for you! I guess I should have done that. However I am distrustful

here in florida since the Christine Jennings incident where thousands

of votes were " lost " and I'm not sure if mine was counted.

 

Thanks. I didn't know it was a federal law.
