I voted this morning, bright and early. Honestly, this is the first time I've ever voted.

Did you vote yet?

I'm not voting--I could, but the constant whining and yelling in Trade Chat on my server kind of soured me on the idea. I'd rather not be associated with either side. =/

That, and I probably would have had to register back in Wisconsin, which is a bit too much of a drive for me.

If you don't like either presidential candidates, write in your own vote. They probably won't win, but at least you contributed, and besides you are voting for more than just the presidency.

Edit: this is totally OOT too.

I haven't missed an election since 1972. I registered in 1971, one of the proudest days of my life. I will vote in about one hour when the polls open here in Nevada.

I vote because I can. Stupid not to, not like you not voting is going to send a message.

Heh, it's not so much not liking the candidates, as not liking some of the people voting for the candidates. (Not anyone here of course, just some of the morons I run into.) Silly, I know, but I'd feel terribly uncomfortable knowing that I made some of those people happy.

Do as you like, but I say this to everyone who voluntarily chooses to give up their right to vote:

You have no right to complain about the government either

I went by about 7:30AM and there was a huge line and cars were parked on the side of the road for blocks. I will try going back around 2:30PM and see if I can at least park with in walking distance.

*edit*
I went back about 2:30PM and was 3rd in line.

I voted this morning.

My tiny community covers about 1,000 registered voters (156 absentee ballots were sent, all but 8 returned) and there were 12 voting booths to keep people moving along. Still took me more than half hour to get it done.

Casted my ballot just under an hour ago. Now I am going to bed lol.

I have high hopes for my candidate, The Flying Spaghetti monster. All that vote for Him will receive extra helpings of pasta in the great Italian Restaurant in the Sky. His win is certain! Tremble!

Was my first vote as a citizen of US and it was hard to decide.

72 years old with a Hockey mom as a back-up OR a Chicago city organizer. Heck, i should have put my name also for the job.

I'm a first time voter, and I did the early voting last Sunday. It took my twin and I about 2 and half hours to get though the line, but I hear in my area that things are moving quicker today. Here's hoping my state isn't involved in yet another debacle. >..>

I don't think the flying spaghetti monster is elegible to be president. Wasn't he born in the panama canal zone?

Sorry for not posting this in OOT. I didn't even think about it, as General is where I read 95% of forum posts.

To be fair, anyone willing to abstain from their hard-won right to vote just to spite strangers over the Internet (or people in real life, for that matter) probably doesn't have the greatest grasp of the election anyway, and we're all better off without the vote.
