I voted early this morning and I am happy with my choice. I am seriously worried about the outcome if certain people win, but I will put my faith in the Lord that it will all work out.
 
We haven't voted yet, we were going to go early but I didn't want to mess with the baby's nap time so we will go tonight arounf 6PM when DH gets home!!!
 
I am also small business owner, and I believe the 2nd amendment is just as important as the rest. I am leaving in 15 minutes to go vote for the candidate who will fight to uphold ALL of my constitutional rights. :thumbup:

Wish me luck, we don't have early voting, and dh said the line for our last name was moving v.e.r.y slow.
 
I voted by absentee ballot and sent it in Saturday's post. I am anxious for the elections to be over. I'm so very tired of hearing campaign ads, etc ... regardless of who wins, I'm convinced things will get better, of course I still have a preference :)
 
Sent my ballot it this last week :thumbup:

I dont think we will unite with the presidential election either... definitely way too divided among the partylines for that. Sad, but true.
 
I mailed mine in last week. So glad I did, with the lines they were showing in the news....it's gonna be busy at the polls today.
 
I will be heading to the polls later today. I hope the lines aren't too long since I will have little ones in tow with me! I am just thankful I live in a country where I am able to have my voice heard and have a vote! I have been so worried about this election. I finally just stopped watching all the news and have just put my trust in God. Thankfully, I serve a God whom is much bigger than presidents and who is in control even when things look so yucky!!!!
 
I will be voting later today. I just hope that I feel better by then. Got sick on Sunday and I started to feel better then I started feeling sick again last night and got up this morning and still felt bad. Have a feeling some of that is connected to the election because the person Id like to see elected I just have a feeling he will not be and I think that is the worst thing that will happen here (just my opinion)
 
I voted early this morning. Got the kiddos all up, fed, and ready for school and then stopped and voted on my way to dropping them off at school. Then met my sis and her hubby for breakfast and talked a little politics. LOL! It was a breeze going through my little country precinct. I was able to get right in and vote. It will be interesting to see how it all ends.
 
I got to the polling place for my precinct at 6:20am this morning (they opened at 6:30am). Waited in line until 8am before getting to vote - I was only voter #54 that day and there had to be at least 100+ behind me in that little church. In our county, each precinct only gets 4 booths so the line took forever. My DH is glad he voted absentee ballot last week, with his bad back.
I'm hoping my candidate will win, but I am sure there will be voting issues and lawsuits arising from this election for the next few weeks, no matter who wins (unless it's a complete landslide one way or the other). We get a little upset with my FIL who complains about the government but never votes in any elections - our feeling is if you don't vote you can't complain! Though I hear they expect 80% voter turnout this year - I've never heard it that high!!!
I don't think any candidate will make huge changes - we would have to have a whole revamp of the senate and Congress in a couple years for that to happen. Get rid of the cronies that are stuck in this idea of not working together because of party lines. I hope that whichever candidate wins, they can work with the "loser" in the Senate and bridge the Democrat-Republican gap. And no matter who wins, we'll have history made - either the first black president or the first female vice-president!
 
I voted last week.... to be honest, I wasn't thrilled with EITHER candidate. :glare: I just kinda chose the one I thought was the lesser of two evils. I'm really scared where our country is headed and I really am not sure either of them have the solutions. ANYWAYS, the only thing that really made me feel good was voting on a proposition in my state that is soooo very important. And I'm glad this will all be over soon. I hate talking politics.

Megan, that's why I voted 3rd party. Neither one was the lesser of 2 evils, and neither of them will fix this country.
 
I really struggled with who to vote for, I plan on going this afternoon. I'm one of those weirdo swing voters and I didn't make up my mind until Thursday after I just sat down and went through the issues one by one.

If you haven't read them, here's a quick breakdown of the issues.

I am back already! I was in & out of the polling place in less than 20 mins.

I even had an opportunity to express my displeasure to our State Rep regarding his negative campaigning (he claimed not to be responsible). But I was happy to get it off my chest :)

Becca, just gotta say "Oh yea!!" On your avi!! LOL
 
I voted! The place where we were voting wasn't extremely busy. There was a bunch of people lined up after us.

I voted for Obama. Proud to say it too.
 
the kids and I went this morning. I voted to reflect my values. I do have peace that God has the situation under control. Whoever ends up with the position will have been put their by God for a reason. As a Christian I can not put my hope/faith in the hands of a president.
 
I'm so excited to vote this afternoon. We'll go, with bugga in tow, when DH comes home.

No matter what happens, I'm very proud of our country. This is an historic election.
 
We voted about 2 hours ago and then went to a late breakfast. I've voted for president since I was 18, in 1972 and have never missed one. I think I'm more cynical and less stressed now as I was when I was younger. I've learned to not buy into all the negative crap that's put out there, that's meant to divert you from the real issues, So I just vote my conscience and hope for the best. What will be will be, ya know?
We live in a tiny rural area, where usually a big turnout is 150 voters, and they had that in the first hour! This election is huge.
 
Lovin' this thread!! Love to hear how the country is doing as far as what your polls look like and how you are experiencing the day.....I was a bit concerned because I had a medical test this morning, and also had to get to work, but everything turned out wonderfully. got my test done and it was earlier then I expected so went straight to vote! No one was in line.....the poll workers said the big crowd died down about 15 minutes before I got there. I acutally made it to work early!!!
 
I voted really early this morning. I live in a small town so I was in and out in a flash, no waiting, no lines. There were a couple people going in as I was coming out. I hope we get a great turnout today. Kudos to everyone willing to wait in long lines to cast your vote!
 
I was in and out in about 2 minutes. Turns out DH was wrong about the amendments, they were from LAST election.

Nader was on my ballot. I didn't think he'd made it onto it in Virginia, yet there he was. Which means I could have voted for Nader for the 4th time in a row had I been inclined.
 
I voted first thing this morning! Virtually no line but DH said when he drove by our polling place after he dropped DS off at school the line was starting to get pretty long.

I am also really nervous about the outcome. Unfortunately I don't think that America will come together after this election is over though. I really wish it would happen but I just can't see the glass half-full on this one... :(

ETA: Also, really, what are people thinking when they steal signs from people's properties? Do they REALLY think that stealing a sign will change our vote? STUPID, STUPID PEOPLE!
 
I voted around 9:30 and there was no wait, although there were a lot of people coming and going. I think that both Obama and McCain are good men, so I won't be crushed either way though I am strongly in support of Obama.

I'm just happy to see Bush GONE.
 
I voted via absentee ballot to TX - my husband is military.
I vote for the same party every year - as my morals and beliefs never change.. :)
 
I voted absentee too. I miss being able to go to an actual polling place, it's just not the same. :( And sorry to all the conservatives here but I voted for Obama and NO on Prop 8. :thumbup: I'm not ashamed either. :D
