Like I said... It's easy. You don't have to discuss your vote, or your lack of voting. Did you vote?

So besides a thread on yelling about the elections and political party
bashing, how about one on the actual act of voting? Its a year of
change for many states so it will be interesting to hear how things
work out. Here in NJ we have switched to the electronic voting machines
for the first time and its going to be a pain for quite some people. Women at the voting place this morning could not handle the touch screen voting things. One
who was in there when i showed up kept yelling how it wasn't working
and the poll worker had to go and help her multiple times. The next one
who went in at one point said "I GIVE UP!" and had to be helped as well
twice. Only thing I asked about was how to find out the info on
the questions, but once I found that you could push it to get more info
I was set. Tried out the different color schemes but stuck with the
original. They only have two thingies as well, with the paper
ones they had more stations for people to fill in their stuff. I see
this day as being a big headache for a bunch of people.

As I do every election I took my two kids to vote today (they like helping to push the levers but the machine was broken today so I had to use a paper ballot).  I think it's good to show them how important it is to vote.Also if a candidate I like is listed on more than one party ticket, I usually vote for them on the small party ticket (Green Party, Working Familes, etc.) so that the small parties have enough votes to be listed on the ballot again in the next election.

I'll try to vote, but I think I may hit a snag. See, while I was going to school in Pennsylvania, I got registered so I could vote in Pennsylvania. I figured Jersey was not going to vote Bush, and my vote would be needed more in Pennsylvania. Even though Pennsylvania ultimately swung for Kerry, we all know the result of the election. Disgusted, I haven't bothered with checking on whether that registration means my vote stays in Pennsylvania or not. I'll check today when I head over to the booth, but obviously it may well be a case of too little too late. Sorry guys. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/down.gif" />

Call me an idealist, but one should at least try to make a difference, even if you think it's a futile effort. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, until the poor finally gets pissed off and displaces the rich. Look at world history. Christians were the dregs of Roman society then with Constantine they were the state religion. Hello Byzantine Empire! This is not to suggest that the same will happen with this election or anything (and there were no elections to determine this stuff- but the point is, the Christians kept at it in spite of all the challenges and finally won over the right person for them). But defeatism is poisonous and generally leads to decadent public apathy and the notion that you might as well drop your oar and let the political tide carry you wherever it will which leads to things like Iraq and general civil strife.

... He's actually right. ...WooHoo! That's one in a row!Funk, the thing to remember about political campaigns is that they are not trying to convince you (in a rational way) that the candidate's positions are better than his/her opponent's; they're appealing to the same subsections of your brain that Pepsi and McDonalds and Toyota do for the same reason - to get you to buy their product.  The political operators will do anything (short of getting caught breaking the laws, if they can help it) to get their candidate elected because there are so many spoils that go to the winners.  The only way to keep them (somewhat) honest is to have an informed and thinking electorate and that's kind of our job. <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smile.gif" border="0" />

Didn't feel like there was anyone worth voting for. I wont do that again. Worst case  scenario, I'll vote all Libertarian in the hope that if they grow they can get both parties to behave themselves. I'm not secretive about who I vote for. Here's who and here's why. Voted against Hevesi, for Callahan for Comptroller. Originally planned on voting for Hevesi, didn't think the scandal was a big deal and I like the guy. But it really makes no sense. If he's elected, chances are he'll be booted out by the ethics board and the Republican senate, then Pataki selects his successor. Or, even if he manages to stay, he's fatally damaged as a fiscal watchdog by the scandal, so he cant perform the job as well as it should be. Its a wasted vote either way. Plus, I gotta give kudos to Callahan. He not only dug up the scandal but reported it on Hevesi's own corruption hotline. Thats a set of balls right there. Voted for the Libertarian candidate for Senator, whoever the hell that was. Couldn't vote for that scumbag Spencer, who's so sleazy he makes me sick. And Hillary . . . . . . is Satan.  Held my nose and voted for Pirro. Will never vote for anyone named Cuomo. He's inherited his father's political crowd, half of whom are gangsters. Pirro's husband is in bed with his own share of crooks, and I dont believe for a second that there's a chinese wall between the two of them. Why did I vote for her? Rudy Guiliani seems to like her and trust her. Why I have no idea, but I'll take his word for it.  Then of course, I have a choice of voting for Gary Ackerman and the same 6 judges on one of 3 lines. Democrat, Independance, or working familes. Same candidiates on all three lines, nobody else running. Welcome to NYC. <blockquote />

I was going to vote when the pols opened at 0600 but I didn't want to wait around.  I voted at 1500 instead.Even though my vote means nothing as our wifebeating Representative Jim Moran keeps getting reelected in landslides, I stil vote because, not to be melodramatic, I spent a year in a country where nobody has the right to vote.
