Kat817 19 Posted October 30, 2006 DH and I went and voted yesterday. It is so nice to be able to go early, and on a weekend no less, to vote!! We were the only ones there at first, so we had no wait at all. Another couple came as we left. The count on the machine where we fed our ballots in, said mine was the 1320th vote counted. Now I hope how I voted helps!!! Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_war06 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Voting is great, Im having my ballot mailed to me, it should be here Monday then I have to fax it in! Im a Poli Sci major and therefore it is my duty I suppose, plus I get better grades! Voting is important, just remember to vote for the person who will serve best, not just for change, because I know for a fact that some Texas candidates (ok one) is making promises and remarks that will not be kept, and is just on the ignorant end of politics, ok all of them are except Perry, but whatever, I dunno what is up with Politics today? Now its more of overtaking by the ignorant and incapable just because people are too desperate for change, rather than wait one more term to see who pops up next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tired_Old_Man 1 Posted October 31, 2006 My wife and I voted today at about 2pm. The lines were long and it took almost an hour. The poll monitor said that they have been packed all day, every day. My wife feels so proud. It was the first time in her life that she has voted for someone in a real election. She became a US Citizen about 18 months ago and since then, she has only voted for referendums and in the primary. I have been voting for 40 years and this may be the most important election of my life. Checks and Balances must be re-established. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted October 31, 2006 I voted this evening. It took me all of 15 minutes, in and out. The Texas Voters Guide was SO helpful. http://freemarket.org/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tired_Old_Man 1 Posted November 2, 2006 I voted this evening. It took me all of 15 minutes, in and out. The Texas Voters Guide was SO helpful. http://freemarket.org/ That link is to a right-wing Christian organization. Of course, you could have given a link to the Texas Republican's website ot the Republican National Committee, but it might have been nice to supply a link to non-partisan sites like the State of Texas voter information page or VOTEXAS which is another site provided by the state of Texas. Or maybe the League of Women's Voters for Texas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
