I've just come from my polling place where I have voted... twice.
I stood in line, got my ballot, and went into the voting booth (cubicle really). Once there, the first thing I did was vote for the wrong president. I stood there gaping at my ballot which I had just ruined. I thought,"I can't let this go. This is a big one not just water commissioner." I was forced to admit the reality of the situation. I had participated in democracy and f*@#ed it up. 
A bit of embarrassment and a fresh ballot later, I managed to vote for the few people I wanted to win.
Go to the polls. It may be embarrassing, but heck that's what government's all about.

No embarrassment, Nuisance.
Rules say you're allowed two "f*@#" ups before you have to turn one in.

Screwing up my ballot wasn't the embarrassing part. Announcing "I screwed up my ballot" to a room full of people was the embarrassing part. The person I'd accidentally voted for made me feel pretty lousy, too.

I didn't even know Early was running. But who's this Often person? What ep was he (she?) in?
(Thinks Early would've made a fun addition to the Niska or Badger race.)

Its not even noon yet and I've intimidated a bunch of people.
Its great. I stand there, an elderly woman comes up with her Kerry pin and I say "YOU DONT BELONG HERE! LET ME SEE SOME ID!" Then its up against the wall for a quick pat down.
Most times thats enough. But if they are really determined I "find" some crack or a concealed knife, or accidently slosh them with some adult beverage from my coffee cup (can't vote drunk, its an old rule). A few of our hand picked local finest escort them to a "holding area and sometime after 8pm they'll be released.
By the book, the 'Republican National Committee Manual for Keeping People from Voting'. My copy came with my tax exemption voucher, my lifetime free supply of prescription drugs, my concealed carry permit, and a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I'm so glad I became a Republican. All I ever got when I was a Democrat was free crack once every 4 years. Even Nader was handing out toasters.

ROFLMAO 
We started beating up scrawny rednecks here..as soon as they pulled up in their pickup trucks with the gun racks in the back window.
The tougher looking ones we offered free beer to in exchange for a Nader vote. I'm surprised at how many kegs of Milwaukee's Best we've gone through so far.
Anyone wearing a "Vote or Die" T-shirt has received a cyanide tablet and a glass of grape Kool-Aid prior to admittance (we told them the tablet was a Flintstone chewable vitamin).
There are alot of signs up around here that say "God loves gullible people".

Heard on NPR this morning that only about 10% of eligible voters aged 18-24 voted yesterday. What's this all about? I noticed a lack of the MTV Generation at the polls yesterday, but didn't know it was that bad. Did Kerry lose due to slacker apathy?

The fact that you'd even joke about this, given out country's great history of disenfranchisement illustrates why you are a pathetic excuse for a human being.
I'd wish cancer on you, but when you died you'd kill all those innocent cancer cells too.
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Just remember marriage is between a human and a human. I'm not judging you, I don't know you or your dog. I just don't want you to think that relationship has a future.
As for the rest. My efforts, such as they were, paid off. Ohio rocks.
As for joking about dienfranchisement, how can I not. This whole 'challenge' business and the claims of intimidation are a joke.
Maybe you Bush hater can get the courts to step in and upset the popular vote by taking steps to realign the electoral count. You guys love it when courts do that...

Hey Hey Hey! Calm Down people... no need to get snippish... look, the acts of one or a few people, in the long run won't change much.... But really, calling eachother names I thought was beyond you adults.... I am only 15 and I am ashamed of you! What is wrong with joking, nothing as far as I am concerned! But wishing eachother cancer.... comeon grow up... I don't know about you, but that is the only pathetic thing around here! Grow up! And next time your going to insult someone, either come up with something more mature, or, as the golden rule states, treat others the way you want to be treated.
This is what going mad must feel like...
... No... this is what going mad must fee like!
