That was kinda funny.\n\nI just just walked in, waited 10 minutes, and voted. No funny stories here. And it's the way it should be.

Absolutely, if you do not vote then do not complain. You voice is through voting. Vote, work on campaigns, talk to your friends, if you have them, about your candidate, place signs in yard if Homeowners Association will allow. I worked on my 1st campaign when I was 15 yrs old & 35 yrs later I still try to support them. I hate stuffing enevolpes - always have. I study all the candidates & pick the one that will vote most closely to my beliefs. Then I try to trust & support them after voting for them.

I would certainly vote for you eventhough I am not sure whether you will be able to succeed or you would not became one of them but still I would like to gamble on you as otherwise also I have wasted my vote on all these politicians.\n\n\nGood Luck we all Yahoo.. are with you.

I have been trying to figure out how they got elected the first time, the second time was a joke... must be those big districts with low population and ALOT of rednecks...\n\nYes I voted.\nYes I will vote next time. If more people took the time to care enough to vote, maybe we would have a better edge in keeping idiots out of that seat...

YA says questions will stay open for voting for 7 days, and if tied, will stay open in 12 hour intervals until the tie is broken.\n\nHere's a link to more info on voting from YA:

Already did!  My daughter and I (she is only 5, but I always bring her with me so she sees how important it is to vote) went at 6:45am, and were number 77 at our polling place.\n\nI was disappointed that more people weren't in line...hopefully it will pick up and more people will turn out to vote.  I don't care which party you belong to, or who you vote for, just VOTE!!!

Just be patient Karl, hopefully, things will move to help our votes really be our votes. In the meantime, I put a link in that may interest you.

I always find myself voting for the person who will give me less of a beating, but nobody every really rises above the 50% line.\n\nIt's depressing

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. . .

I have decided on all of political races in my area but I am having trouble deciding on which way to go on one issue, I probably won't decide until I mark my ballot, it really is a tough decision.

I have voted in every election since I first registered at 18...since 1976...I have felt like the US got very dumb in the last 6 years...I hope the smarter ones come out to vote this time!

I'd like to see that happen. In my state, you have to be registered a month ahead of time. I find this prevents a lot of younger people from voting because it's usually their first election and they either don't know you have to wait or just lose track of time.
