Title: Don't forget to vote today!

Gah. Why can't election day be in the summer when it's light out. I hate going to the polls in the dark.

Not to get political - it may have a reason for being dark out there. I will go this morning, SO after work.

We do the mail in voting.  SOOOOOO much easier. No stamp required either.. can't get any easier than that!   ;D

I noticed your avatar and kept meaning to ask about it. I'd never heard of mail in voting but I sure like the sound of it. I'm going to look into that next time.

Well poop. No early voting in my state and excuse required for voting by mail. Thanks Lola you saved me a lot of trouble!

I went straight after work instead of stopping home to feed Mazy cat first like I usually do.  It was better, because at least I didn't have to go in the dark.  The parking lot where I vote is not lit, and it is very unpleasant and creepy in the dark, not to mention very difficult to find a parking place, dark or day light. No parking lines or anything like that, just a quagmire of mud with everyone parking however they want (many big pick up trucks and giant suvs).

I'm glad it is over!!
My cell phone number used to be the house landline number.  Therefore, I got alllllllllllll the political calls for everyone in the household...currently and previously.  Democrats and Republicans.  After the last few days, I hate them all.    Silly7

Better election calls then Card Services.
It was really well organized here. In and out. I actually changed citizenship a bit back to be able to vote.
