I have to ask, Is everyone going to vote today?

I will, Miss Texas. I had planned to be there when the polls opened, but my younger daughter wants to go with me, so I'm waiting 'til school lets out.\n\nBTW, good morning:-)

Thank you for inspiring me to vote...I am 54 and have never missed voting.  My family is heavily into flag waving, are members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and my aunt even worked as as secretary/receptionist on Capitol Hill for 50 years.  We got to tour the White House and watch the Senate in action with special passes as a kid.  I even went to the oval office once.  I wanted to grow up to be the first woman president.\n\nThis time though, it's different.  I live in a district that the Democratic party has written off.  I live in a state that the Democratic party has written off.  They wouldn't even spend the money to get a candidate listed on the ballot to run for Senate.  \n\nThe last election, our polling place was moved OUT OF OUR PRECINCT.  The mail says we live too far on the edge of our county for paper delivery same day.  \n\nI've even worked as a poll worker for elections.  I know the radio will say who won our state before our ballots even reached the courthouse for tallying.\n\nThe last election we used touch screen voting.  There was NO PAPER TRAIL.  No receipt that you voted.  No way to know if your vote was correctly registered on the machine.  There is absolutely nothing to recount.  I would say most poll workers do not own a computer themselves, yet are managing the votes on them.\n\nI have NO CONFIDENCE that my vote will count at all.  When Pres. Bush announced that he has NO worries that the Republicans will maintain the Hill, I believe he means he has people to enter the voting machines and make sure he's correct.  There is absolutely no way to know if they have been tampered with.  The party with power does not have to yield again, unless we use paper ballots which can be recounted, and of course scanned by a computer to count, which will make the process timely enough.\n\nI have always believed in this country.\n\nThey lost me when exit polls showed how people ACTUALLY voted, yet the final count did not reflect that.\n\nYour shred of hope will push me out the door.  I am ill today, and thought this may be the first time I missed.\n\nI belong in the Senate, not Senator Lugar.  He advertised with millions of dollars, WITHOUT a candidate against him.  What a wasteful man.  He is supposed to be a Rhoades scholar, but didn't digest the facts about WMD correctly at all and led us into this war which has killed thousands of innocents.  If he had been in any danger of going himself, or any members of his family in deep need of college financing through the military, perhaps he would have poured over the reasons for war more thoroughly.\n\nSorry, for any mispellings, I usually proofread, as I'm so particular.  I would be an excellent, conscientious Senator.  But, I better go vote.  I only wish it would count.\n\nPlease don't blame Americans if the results are not logical.  Our voting process will not stand up to the standards former President Jimmy Carter uses when monitoring elections.\n\nWish truth, justice, and the American Way Luck!  Hopefully, I won't be patted down there, and my paper with my write in candidate taken! Ha!  That is the only way to vote other than Republican in our corner of Indiana. . .

Ugh, yes.\n\n\nI recently moved counties and had to re-register. I followed the information listed on my voter's registration card today--to a defunct polling location. It was a high school that is completely under construction--there was no voting going on there at all. Funny that there wasn't a sign or anything directing people to the right place--I had to call 411 to connect with the voter registration office, was on hold for twenty minutes, finally found out my correct polling location--went to vote, mentioned they might want to put a sign up at the other location. They said they had sent out a mailing detailing the new polling location and all eligible voters had received it. Hmmm. . . funny. Not this registered voter. I stuck with it until I found out where I was supposed to vote--but I have no doubt that other people just went back home. \n\n grrrrr.

Most of my friends think there is a 90 percent chance , in any case I am going to vote. I need a change if no one else needs it, I sure do.

No.  You do that on your own time.  What, you want to be paid to perform your civic duty too?  Jeesh.  The polls are open till 7.  Make time and stop making excuses.

We need everyone to vote. Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Liberal, and everyone in between.\n\nEDIT - I guess I should have caught the whole Wednesday thing. Sadly this has been tried before (2004 elections in Ohio).

I am.\n\nI have never voted a straight ticket but think I am going to tomorrow... straight democrat.

Yes, by all means, VOTE!\n\n(unless you're Republican, of course - JUST KIDDING!).\n\nYou're right, it is a sign of our times, dirty tricks on both sides (some already proven), questionable voting machines ,etc.  But you should vote for two reasons:  \n\nAs an American citizen it is your right and duty to vote.  The only way to ensure our Democracy is for our citizens to exercise their rights under that Democracy, including voting for those who will lead it and shape its policies.\n\nIf you believe that the current Administration is bungling the war in Iraq, or can't handle a disaster like Katrina, or disagree with Bush's assessment that Rumsfeld and Cheney are doing a heck of a job (like "Brownie" did), then you need to vote Democratic to restore a balance of power in Washington.  If you think America is 100% on the right track, and that the President should have almost unlimited power, with a rubber-stamp congress and superceding even the Constitution, you should vote Republican.\n\nEither way, you should vote.  Regardless of who they vote for,  I hope all good citizens do and vote their conscience, not what their party or religious leaders tell them to.

I cerainly hope so. Tomorrow is the big day. And I hope the Republicans are defeated soundly. If there are some "turncoats", then they are the real patriots. Take America Back!!!!
