My civic duty is done.

My ballot is signed, sealed, and will be delivered to the post office tomorrow. *breathes a sigh of relief*

I wish I had an off button for political ads for the next month. *sighs*

Mine too! I was going to mail it today, but packing up book orders took too long, and hurrying to the post office, at rush hour, in the pouring rain, is not a good idea.

I finally had to put a "No soliciting, no political canvassers" sign across the porch steps--I'm getting at least one person a day ringing my doorbell and trying to get me to vote either way (mostly for Obama, though). Yesterday I had five. Hence the sign.

And I've had three people come by collecting funds for the Democratic Party in the last week, so either there's a problem with coordinating their volunteers, or they're just being dumb and annoying in their persistence. [headdesk]

Nobody else I know has been getting bombarded like this, so I assume it's just one of the (admittedly small) prices I pay for living in a student-dominated neighborhood.

hee!! I should have known that you would use an absentee ballot as well...*grins*

I'm so lucky--nobody bothers with our apartment complex. However, the mail? Ugh. And the TV. Can't stop the ads!

I'm still wishing I had a cool kelp skirt, btw.

I think there is probably confusion with the lists they are using. I did phonebanking for the Obama campaign a couple weeks ago, and I overheard quite a bit of discussion about overlap on their lists, causing people to get called or visited multiple times. The campaign is obviously concerned about it, because the last thing you want to do is annoy someone who might be considering voting for you, but I doubt the problem will be sorted any time before election day, or....ever, probably.

You'll be missing out on the Giant Squid cap snafflers that they're passing out at the polls, then...

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw!

Still, they could pass out Giant Squid and I wouldn't show up, lol. ;)

I can't do absentee, but we do have early voting here starting Friday... So I get to go to the library and vote! :D

YAY VOTING

[valis2.livejournal.com]

YAY!! Yes, voting rocks! I'm so glad that it's done.

I was surprised to find that there was a medical marijuana proposal on our ballot, as well as a stem cell research proposal. I'm not always as well-informed as I'd like to be...

Well, congrats to you for voting at all. I heard that's not really as common as one would hope. I hope you voted "correctly" *g* (that's from the overseas perspective).

Thanks!

I was very careful about filling it all out. It would be horrible if it were rejected because of ink out of the lines or something...
