Cthulhu for President...

... when you're tired of voting for the lesser evil!

[skipjim.livejournal.com]

At this point I'm not sure Bush IS the lesser evil.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

I'm quite sure that Bush isn't the lesser evil.

By orders of magnitute.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Actually, Great Cthulhu did indeed change his campaign slogan (http://www.cthulhuforpresident.com/).

In a press release issued from R'yleh, the candidate is quoted as saying "I took a long, hard look at my foes and came to realize that I'm the lesser evil. So, please, vote for me or I will EAT YOU!!!!!"

Do no harm?

My workplace is a polling place. There's already a line, half-hour before polls open! In five previous years here, I've never seen that!

[arensb.livejournal.com]

Ironically enough, my workplace, 3 miles from home, is a polling place, but it's not the one I need to go to. I think it's because I'm a local resident, not an out-of-state student.

[skipjim.livejournal.com]

One of my workers here was at the poling place an hour early, he said he was there for about five minutes before several other people showed up.

[firedrake-mor.livejournal.com]

. . . and be nice to the folks in the polling places -- they're working as fast as they can! I'm one of them, leaving in 5 minutes to go set up.

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

I can't effing believe you are so LJ-addicted that you posted this, sweetie darling darling sweetie. Yes I can.

For the record: he and I voted by touch screen last Thursday, not only President but Senate, House of Reps, judges, assistant dog catcher and California's laundry list of mutually-contradictory propositions. Wheee. But we did it.

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

I'm from Chicago. Why should I limit my enfranchisement by only voting once?

[arensb.livejournal.com]

I thought you had to die to vote the second time.

[nuveena.livejournal.com]

I voted a week and a half ago! I LOVE early voting.

Now I'm just going to sit glued to the Internet all day. And to the TV tonight, hoping the count doesn't rely on Hawaii.

"We band of voters.."

A parody (not by me):

I'll be voting right after work.

And I have already had two phone calls asking me about Michigan's proposal two. Of course, being gay I am supposed to be an expert on it. *laughs* Of course I told them about it and to answer "No".

Voting was weird... I got there about 1/2 hour after the polls opened at my local site (where I didn't vote for Bush last time either.) and it appeared already 20-30 people had voted. I have never seen that many vote that early in any election.

I did make sure to say thank you to the staff who were volunteering at the election. I think they are expecting a large turn out this time.

As for the voting location, it was a site on Long Island, NY.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Harold S. from Long Island????

[hms42]

Yes, Dave. I needed a name to use on Live Journal and I knew that one was not likely used.

Cool.

Ohio voting

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

Dan and I cast our ballots this morning. Depite the rain, there was an enormous turnout, and my coworkers have reported same at their polling places. We did have an "observer," an inoffensive man sitting quietly in the corner with a clipboard. He said he had 3 names he was supposed to watch out for and question further. It's hard to imagine him intimidating anyone, but maybe the heavy hitters were assigned to larger, urban polling places with more than 3 potential challenges.

Re: Ohio voting

[secanth.livejournal.com]

Another Ohioan here. Can't get to the polls until this afternoon with the aide comes to watch Mom, but the town I live in is fairly small and has more than one polling place...I'm hoping I don't have to be there *too* long. (Though my aide told me yesterday she'd stay as long as it took...she be a loyal Democrat, she be.)

Re: Ohio voting

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

No "observers" noticed in my polling place (Victorian Village), and I was looking for them. I was kinda disappointed ... I was hoping to have a bullethead hauled off by the police on charges of "interfering with a vote" (which IIRC is a crime in Ohio).

Well...

[wormquartet.livejournal.com]

I voted once, then backed over three Bush supporters in the parking lot, so does that count as four?

-=ShoEboX=-

Re: Well...

[armb.livejournal.com]

Only if you got them before they could vote. And only if they don't get recorded as voting for Bush anyway even if you actually stopped them doing so.

Re: Well...

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Also depends on what was squealing -- your tires or them.

Might want to put up a link to this - they're trying to call 30,000 registered, "unlikely" progressive leaning voters in swing states. There's a script for people to follow and such. I've called three so far today and am just waiting for it to be 9am in WI so I can call the other 12 on my list.

[ericcoleman]

I went to vote for the guy who won last time ...

but he wasn't on the ballot ...

did I miss something ???

[omimouse.livejournal.com]

The whole Sanctuary crew voted a week and a half ago. Early voting goood, especially since there was a line (albeit a short one) a week and a half ago.

Nothing left to do now but cross our fingers and wait.

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

There was already a line out the door when our polls opened at 6.30 this morning; what is normally a five-minute process took me 45 minutes and the lines never got any shorter while I was there. In 22 years of voting, I've never seen the like.

Dare we hope for a victory walking away? Heavy turnout almost always favors the Dems...

[madmanotl.livejournal.com]

Does anyone else think that the election will come down to the number of minorities the republican party will prevent from voting?
As someone whose grandfather voted in 1960 in Chicago even though he died the year before, I know these things exist.

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Voted, called friends in NH to vote, helped a few others find the polling location on campus.

And now we wait.

::twitches::

We got 'em on the run!

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

Overheard between two Repubs in my office: "Well, I think Bush is gonna lose. *sigh*" "*sigh* Me too."

Whadya know. I can agree with a Republican! :)

[james-rayner.livejournal.com]

I voted!

Ohio Turnout is HUGE...And so far, the majority of them are Kerry supporters. ;)

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

So far, so good. Exit polls show Kerry leading a lot of states where he wasn't expected to, and competitive in a few states where he wasn't supposed to be close.

Deep breaths. Calm. Calm. Wait it out.

-- Fuggit! LANDSLIDE, BABY!

Best. Electoral Vote. Map. Ever.

Desperation Time

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

20 minuutes till the polls close in Ohio & I just got 2 recorded calls telling me how desperately the Shrub needs my vote. I'm afraid I was less than delicate in telling their recording where it could shove itself.

Re: Desperation Time

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

Sorry 'bout the duplication. AT least I got to correct a typo.

[skipjim.livejournal.com]

I voted tonight, in my mainly rural district (20 minutes north of Grand Rapids Mi). I overheard two poll workers talking that they'd been busy all day long. The unfortunate thing is that the ratio in this area seems to be 2 to 1 against Kerry =[.

Oh well at least I cancelled out my father in laws vote I guess thats all that really matters. =]
