Did you vote today?

Guess I’ll put it here too.

No, no, that's absentee ballots. They don't count those unless a race is close.

One-Stop (Early Voting)
"One-stop absentee voting (commonly known as "early voting") allows any registered voter to cast an absentee ballot in person on select days prior to Election Day. In 2018, one-stop voting begins on Wednesday, October 17, and ends on Saturday, November 3. "


Turns out we're both wrong. They do get counted, just not until election day.
 
Nope.




I have never voted, and never plan to.
I see politics, and the idea that we truly have any say in what actually happens in this country as what amounts to a huge distraction to keep most people from pondering the real things they are able to do to change the world.

I do understand this is not a popular stance on the subject.
 
Left work early to vote....and then our sheriff of 24 years lost to some dick nozzle named Chip.

I'd say the biggest surprise for me was seeing that wake co sheriff donnie Harrison got the boot. I'm not in wake county so it doest affect my life but I was a little surprised none the less. I guess all the liberal's in wake county finally caught up with him.
 
Voted 06:30 yesterday w/ my son....let him hit the submit button (they gave him the damn sticker when we got there).

I'm assuming what @trailhugger was thinking of is a "provisional" ballot. That's what they call it when there is some reason it is out of the ordinary, and needs to be set aside for manual inspection. Say for instance you show up and your name isn't on the roster like it should have been, and you go and complain to the commission; or your name or address was wrong or something.
Or, in the states that are or will allow same-day registration and voting, those will be provisional, b/c they'll have to be manually confirmed but there isn't time.
Or, in a case like mine... I knew I'd be out of town, so I requested an absentee mail-in ballot in early October. A week ago it hadn't arrived yet, so I went to the early voting place to do it in person. They saw I was registered for a mail-in ballot and gave me a provisional one, and said "If it ever shows up, whatever you do don't vote with that again or they will both be cancelled." My provisional ballot then went into a separate special bright red bag, separate from all of the other ballots.
My understanding is that those they really don't count unless there is a close race, because there is a relatively very small # of them.

Oh and FWIW the lady running the booths said that they had had LOT of people with the same complaint as me, never received their mail-in ballot. Like 95% of their provisionals were for that reason. Apparently the state had contracted a 3rd party to mail them.
My ballot did finally show up in the mail on Friday, only 4 days before Election day....
 
Nope.

Voted yesterday.

Didn't do enough home work when it came to NC Soil and Water Conservation Commission, so I wrote my wife in, left the other blank.

But I didn't get a sticker. I mean, a banana gets a sticker for being a banana.. I don't really need a participation trophy.

I don't vote because I want to show that I voted.

I vote because it's my right and I want my voice. However insignificant it may be..
