LIVE THREAD--Election Day 2010!

2 November 2010

[SE Mom]

Post what you're seeing, hearing in your district, county or state during the day and evening- anecdotal or otherwise!

GOTV!!!!!

[kickonly88]

Voted in Farmer City,Il. this morning. A most beautiful sight on the ballot, no dems running for any county positions!

[topher]

Voted here in about the only rainy part of the country -- South Louisiana.

Fair weather across the rest of the country -- no excuse not to vote!

2010 CHANGE I can believe in: (1) Reduce size of Government (2) Prosecute lawbreakers of Wall St, Main St, Pennsylvania Ave & the border (3) Let people create jobs....to name a few

[metmom]

I knew that meaning. Considering the person wearing it, that’s why I wondered if it had others.

That does not bode well for obama if blacks are expressing that attitude.

[Fishtalk]

I haven’t given up on Mass.

I would remind that when the chips were down, Mass. went out and elected Scott Brown.

Husband is from Mass. He and his brother...fevered Conservatives. His mother? Well she’s a lib but she’s now almost in tears over having voted for Obama.

As well she should be.

;)

This just rolled in here:

Storm is moving in a westerly direction, lots of thunder and lightning here...will have to wait a little bit before heading out with my toddlers...is it true that dems won't go out to vote if it's raining??

[kevkrom]

Last night my son played darts at local pub- said people were talking to him who NEVER talk politics- do not CARE about politics and said same as you- without exception they said they were voting "to stop Obama"... Amazing.

Yeah, but they're probably just a bunch of racists. /sarc

“Until today, I’m not making this up, I had no idea what GOTV meant.”

LOL, Fishtalk! Well, none of us were born knowing what it meant.

I don’t know what it will take to get rid of Mikulski. Without exception she votes wrong on every issue; and yet she keeps winning by huge margins, even in conservative counties.

[jerseyrocks]

In order for this revolution to be won, we need to be given a fair fight, and I don’t know if we are. I got an e-mail from our Candidate’s office that 3 out of 5 machines at one polling place were switching republican votes to the democrats. That imo should be grounds for a felony. Any voting machine that has been manipulated or registering wrong, should hold those in charge of that machine on felony charges of theft. This is one of the most precious Constitutional Rights given to us and can not be taken away.

[metmom]

That’s certainly possible. I didn’t get a REALLY good look at the shirt and could have misread the U as an O.

That’s why I was wondering if there was something out there similar to it or having a different meaning.

That makes much more sense.

I wonder if the shirt manufacturer is aware of that.

TODAYS VOTE FRAUD
brought to you by the D.O.J., led by Eric Holder
for the DNC, unions, and the undocumented Obama.

Union Accused of Voter Fraud Involving Mentally Handicapped
Authorities in Crow Wing County are investigating possible voter fraud
involving people with mental disabilities …. a large group of mentally handicapped
people were told whom to vote for by mental health staff members and that staff filled
out the ballots themselves without the disabled voters close by."

(Rochester) Offering Voters "Rides to Polls" (Coalition of Black Trade Unionists)
They told people to call the Rochester, NY office of the
COALITION OF BLACK TRADE UNIONISTS for these free rides,
and also said that the information is up on their website."

National Organization Warns of Illegal Immigrant Voters
On October 28, WSBTV and the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported
that their recent comparison of jury duty records and voter registrations
found hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote and hundreds actually voting!"

Vote Fraud Woes Already Mar Mid-Term Elections
some Nevadans who have tried voting early for Republican
Senate nominee Sharron Angle instead have seen
Democrat Harry Reid’s name appear on their electronic voting machines.
•Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry and Genesis Robinson,
his campaign manager, face voter-fraud charges. In an apparent re-election tactic,
they allegedly completed 92 absentee-ballot applications with the names
of Floridians who never requested them or who had moved away.
•Bucks County, Pennsylvania officials are investigating 500 apparently
fraudulent absentee-ballot applications. Also, the Pennsylvania Voter Assistance
Office sent citizens letters encouraging them to apply for absentee ballots.
No such office exists."

[Fishtalk]

Well you made me smile.

And your post reminded of a local restaurant’s commercial that also always makes me smile.

It’s a little eatery down the road here in the swamps of DELMARVA. Guy tells about how you can get breakfast all day and not to forget to go out to vote. “Of course I would never tell you how to vote,” the announcer says, then you hear this big ROAR of an elephant.

“BJ’s on the Bay,” the announcer continues, “always with conservative prices”.

Makes me smile everytime I hear it. I guess the guy’s a Republican, you think?

[BunnySlippers]

Thanks all. I’m starting to get nervous again.

[SE Mom]

Just read Harry Reid’s internal polls show him up 5-8 points??

WTH??

[grey_whiskers]

I used the html abbreviations for the characters instead of the literals.

So instead of the < character, type in &lt; , and the > becomes &gt;.

So the <i> becomes &lt;i&gt; ...

(and to make it more confusing, in my text above, when I needed to SHOW you an ampersand, I had to TYPE &amp; and for the semicolons, I had to TYPE &#59; ).

Cheers!

[SumProVita]

Hubby and I just returned from polls here in TN. We were told that this is the first time they had ever seen a steady stream of voters ....starting at 7am....with NO dead periods!

[Seattle Conservative]

Thanks for mentioning your state and congressional district.
These reports are great to read, and it helps when I can relate the turnout, etc. w a specific district and candidate.

[metmom]

That’s the problem I have with the computerized stuff.

Anyone who knows how to write code and do something like that.

There are enough computer savvy people with the skills necessary.

How did your candidate find that out and what does he (she?) plan on doing about it?

[IL Republican]

Early report of heavy turnout in IL.

Can someone who knows more than me tell me if this is good or bad for us?

I voted at 6:15 and was the 16th voter to use the paper ballot. Probably an equal number used the machine. Felt about average, not heavy or light.

[blondee123]

I saw a person of color yesterday in the store with a sweatshirt with FUBO in BIG letters on the front. Does that phrase have meaning other than the one we’re familiar with?

Well, I be giving away my age, but I used to hear it years ago and it meant F (you know what that stands for) Up Beyond Repair
