Election Day in the U.S.

[mousme]

Today, dear American friends, is the day you make history. Please remember that your voting system is believed by many to be... suspect, to put it politely, so your vote counts even more, no matter where you live or how "safe" you believe your preferred candidate to be.

My flist is filled with patriots. I know you're all going to go out and vote. Still, I feel that I can't let this day go by without cheering you on.

Go out there and do yourselves proud.

:)

Flister Voting

Thank you! Going out into the cold dark right now to stand in line.

All moral support much appreciated!

Done. There was a line outside at 0630 when we walked by to get breakfast, but no line to speak of at 0730 when we returned to cast our votes. (Of course, the longest I've ever had to wait in lovely Montpelier is, say, 10 minutes, and that's for town meeting when we have to decide on local budgets and stuff.)

May everyone who votes today have the same experience. No challenges, no 'provisional' garbage, just vote and be counted and be done.

We're going to do America proud for the first time in a long time.

It feels like Christmas morning!

I would be extremely shocked if this is the first election that kind of stuff happened during. I would also be extremely shocked if both sides were not equal participants. Politics is a dirty business. There is nothing innocent or straightforward about it. They all lie and they all play dirty.

It only seems to be liberals who are shocked by this. Which doesn't surprise me, since they seem to be the ones who tend to think we can make the world all sunshine and roses if we just get rid of guns and the military and give everyone money and talk nice to the grumpy dictators. (That last paragraph is very much not directed toward you because I know you are not wearing rose-colored glasses. Most of those on the left side so very much are, though.)

Non-voting is also a matter of principle.

Just so you know.
