VOTE

Vote in the morning.

VOTE!

Vote Democratic down the line.

People in states that do not send out voter information packets, make sure you know what the ballot looks like and what else is being voted upon, besides candidates for public office.

The Louisiana Secretary of State does not have a sample ballot for my parish and precinct online so I am looking at Ballotpedia, which is over capacity, which is a good sign.

The Louisiana League of Women Voters site is here, and has information — and I should join this organization.

Axé.

  1. Thanks N G and that is what I figured out, Hattie.

    I voted.

    It was interesting to see how many candidates really were on the ballot.

    I actually had a chance to vote for a third party I could support … more than one … in Louisiana.

    I have always voted Peace and Freedom, and parties like that, when I lived in other states.

    Today I voted Obama, despite everything, so you can tell how serious I think things have gotten.

  2. This is a South Dekota Republican ad supporting the current Rep., Kristi Noem against her democrat opponent which was aired recently.

    This is almost as good as the article in US report and news about how Obama and his lackeys in NOIA engineered the path of Hurricane Sandy into NY in order to enhance his chances of re-election. (No this is not a joke!)

    Let’s hope that Romney and his posse of crazy snake handlers don’t win.

  3. Going out to buy some wine. Either way I need a drink. And here are some issues via The Nation as of 6:30 pm ET.

    Problem #1: Problems with voting in states hit by Hurricane Sandy, particularly in New Jersey and New York. In New Jersey, for example, servers set up to handle ballots sent via e-mail have crashed due to volume. People affected by the storm don’t know where to go to vote. Polling places are not open, or not staffed, or the voting machines aren’t working. The highest concentration of calls to the 1-866-Our-Vote hotline is coming from New Jersey.

    Problem #2: Poll workers in Pennsylvania wrongly telling voters they need photo ID to cast a ballot. According to the law, poll workers in Pennsylvania can ask voters for ID, but they are not required to show it in order to vote. However, that is not how the law is being enforced. Eric Marshall, co-director of Election Protection, says such problems are occurring across the state, although reports are that minority voters are being targeted in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. “Poll workers are asking black voters for ID but not white voters,” Marshall reported.

    Problem #3: Voting machines are not working in the Ohio cities of Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo. The optical scan electronic voting machines are broken. These are heavily Democratic cities where Obama needs a big turnout to win.

  4. I had to show a driver’s license to vote in Louisiana today. I do not remember having had to do so before.
