There's still time to vote in your local election.
I encourage all DUers to do just that, if there's an election where you are.

3. No, I have no time left to vote.
No time at all, given that I already voted this morning.

10. Thank you for voting. It is one thing we can do that has
the potential to change everything.

4. Not voting in my local election here in North Georgia.
There is nothing but Republicans running for all local offices. If the Sunday alcohol vote was in my county, I may have voted because I would have voted yes. But that referendum is only being voted on in the metro Atlanta area.

12. You made a big difference, then. In these low-turnout votes,
every vote counts more than in an election where there is a high turnout. Thank you!

7. I voted at eleven AM
Edited on Tue Nov-08-11 06:33 PM by Brother Buzz
Six, repeat, six people voted before me. Casting a ballot is an obligation, not just a right, and my vote just may tip the scale against the Tea Party/Libertarian/Fundy candidate running for school board.

9. Already voted this afternoon in PA
Some local elections here. One Repuke is a real live one, a rude bastard who tried to muscle in on his neighbor's property, losing a lawsuit. I voted for his Democratic opponent who promised to restore civility.

14. Thank you so much for turning out. That's patriotism at work.
Those who fail to register their vote are not helping to make the decisions that are so critical.
