Wahrheit Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 For those of you of legal age in the United States I'm sure you're very aware that tomorrow at 8PM local time your ballot boxes will be sealed off and the tallies will begin to be counted. This election is an important one - the next POTUS will likely be able to pick 2 Supreme Court Justices (who serve for life, until THEY decide it's time to step down) and the courts are the longest-lasting and ultimate say on nearly every prevalent issue. From equal rights to freedom of information and net neutrality, a lot is at stake. Please vote, no matter who your preferred candidate is. That's all. Happy November the 5th.

Legend Zero Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 True stuff. I voted even though my state is already a lock for the other guy. <_< Do your part, it does make a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raine Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I wish I could vote... although I'm 18, Wisconsin requires residence in the state for 28 consecutive days... it's been 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coral Blue Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm voting tomorrow. I wish I'd voted through the mail, the long lines are gonna suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lujan Solo Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I can't vote. I can say one thing though, the Olympic and Oscar trends point to Obama winning, but the Redskin Rule says Romney. Let's just wait and see what Vigo county says.

Guest - Neo - Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I will certainly vote, though I'm not sure if I'm going to go in the morning or at night, because I don't want to wait in ridiculous lines. Really only voting because the guy who owns a local card shop around here is running for School Committee, and he's such a nice guy who really deserves the position, so I want to help him out. Both Presidential candidates are pretty terrible, so basically just hoping Obama holds it so I don't have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to continue going to school with s*** Romney in office.

Guest Fusion X. Denver Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 This'll be my first time voting, so I'm psyched for it. I took this test online putting in my stances on issues; I agreed with Obama on 64% of them and Romney 61%. So basically I'll be okay with whoever wins.But I'm still voting Obama and I'm not basing my stance entirely on that test's results, mainly because social issues are one of the most important things to me and I do not see eye-to-eye with Romney at all in that regard.

Exiro Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Why's Ralph Nader not running for president this time? Has he realized murricans aren't quite smart enough for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 If what my Government Studies teacher told me is true, I ain't voting. Namely, the U.S. is on the electoral college system. The vote of the every man is only for the popular vote. If you really want to get Obama or Romney into office, try to get more Democrats or Republicans into office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The Times kindly disagrees. And I voted Democrat for president and Republican for senator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garthfunkle Vii Backwards Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Romney is currently leading in electoral votes and is half way to the needed 270! It can still flip flop though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 And I voted Democrat for president and Republican for senator. Same! *High fives* Still, I won't cry if Romney wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fusion X. Denver Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I feel so stupid; I thought you had to vote for every position on the ballot based on something my friend said (which I misconstrued), so I ended up filling in all the Democrat circles for all the positions despite not knowing any of the other names on there aside from the presidential candidates.It feels like I abused my power somehow... But hey, what really matters to me is the president, and I voted what I felt was the right choice, so all good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garthfunkle Vii Backwards Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Well lock this now! It's more or less null and void! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahrheit Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 To those of you who voted, thank you for exercising your right to do so. To those of you who didn't, I hope you will in the future. Not just because your vote counts for an election, but it also solidifies your presence as a demographic so that when something you do care about comes along you're heard and respected as you deserve. That being said, I am proud and honored to have Barack Obama as my president for the next 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garthfunkle Vii Backwards Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 That being said, I am proud and honored to have Barack Obama as my president for the next 4 years. Should add "also lock this since the elections are over now" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
