VOTE!

[RPB]

We went to the Jacksonville Library today to pick up James Lee Burke's latest book. The Jacksonville Library is also a voting place. The voter numbers we observed earlier in the week and even last week were much greater than were observed today.

What does that portend? I dunno'. I suspect a nationwide voter turnout of biblical proportions is taking place. Everybody has a dog in this hunt. Oh well, this time tomorrow, we'll know how many bullets to buy.

On Twitter "PLEASE EVERYONE, however the election turns out tonight, remain calm and peaceful ... my AK-47 doesn't ship until next Monday "

I got 500 more rounds of 7.62 last week, the UPS guy informs me that MidwayUsa is shipping a lot lately

My ballot has been cast. On paper...not only did I mark the straight party box because that is the way I feel about this, but I also marked the box to indicate my choice for President/Vice President, just so there wouldn't be any guesswork. I also voted NO for a ballot to raise a tax-supported bond for the school system...seems like the school has an awful lot of administrators...if they need more teachers, they need to take a hard look at how many non-teachers they have on the payroll FIRST before asking for more money.

Wasn't there some discussion in another thread (the SJL thread, I believe) indicting that ballots on which both "straight ticket" and individual races would be considered invalid?

Nope, not to the best of my knowledge. In fact, I carefully read the information at the top of the ballot. Individual races will be counted even if a straight party box is marked. You may be able to see a sample ballot if you go online to the state website and put your info in...you can read at the top left of the ballot and see what I mean.

I was so proud when I walked up to vote, handed over my ID, and when I went to sign in I saw where my oldest child had voted in her first Presidential election! I almost cried. She is very patriotic, and very proud to be American. Made my heart swell! She texted me when she was done, but I was busy with work, and it didn't really sink in until I saw her signature right below her Daddy's!

Congratulations! My experience is similar (but different). After many years of waiting, my beautiful wife got her US citizenship in 2010, and cast her first-ever US presidential ballot about a week ago during early voting.

Congrats to both!
