Me too, Steven Harper , ehhhh :confused:

Indian Charlie 11-04-2008 01:52 AM

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Let's see, which guy do I want to enlarge my ashole with?

Hell, if I knew King Glorious's real name, I'd write him in, since he seems like he could tie up congress for years.

You can stop voting , but they will still call you for jury duty. :zz:

You lose your right to bitch about the government when don't vote.

I plan on downleading the form for a track today and taking it to cap while I wait in line for hours. You know they should have elections on any day but Tuesday as there's no good tracks today.

That way I'm sure to pick a winner...maybe not the election, but at least some horse that will give me an instant economic incentive.

MaTH716 11-04-2008 08:29 AM

Voted first thing this morning and couldn't believe the turnout. There were long lines at 6:45 this morning. It was orderly chaos (if that makes sense). I can only imagine what it is going to be like at other polling places that might not have less voting booths, or other methods to vote. I really believe that there will be alot of people crying foul on both sides, because their supporters didn't have an opportunity to vote.

I worked Monday overnight and went right to the polls in Maryland as soon as I got off .....

Process took about 75 minutes which is 70 minutes more than usual in my neck of the woods.

It is interesting that the wording of Question 2 or the referendum for slots essentially says. "Are you in favor of granting no more than 5 video poker licenses who's proceeds would go to building and improving community schools in grades K-12"

As in do you want the money or do you want to continue to build schools in Delaware and West Virginia??

Not a single word about racing purses...

You've lived in MD for how long, 20 years? And how long has the state neglected racing, despite its rich history?

I really, really hope it passes this time.

I've heard of some polling places being slow etc., but my friend just said people were being treated differently based on the color of table was listed on their sample ballot. He said he was waiting in a " orange table" line, but he realized he had "green table" printed on his ballot. Said hardly anybody was waiting in the "green table" line. Said the people he was in line with("for the orange table") had barely moved when he was done voting.

I was going to vote today but decided to just go stock up on free sh!t instead.

Voted about 10am at my rural PA site, very heavy for the site, this is conservative territory (the Klan still is active here) so I'm sure McCain will carry the county...didn't get accosted by any right wing fanatics so a good day!

LOL...true! When I worked at Victor Cullen (Juvenile correctional facility), I encountered the Klan almost every evening on my way home...at least when the weather was good...guess those sheets run in the rain or snow! A-holes didn't even bother to cover their vile faces with their traditional hoodies, guess they felt safe. Can't tell you how often I wondered how many I could end with my car....peace, love, brotherhood...ah screw it, nobody would miss a couple!

I think the Klan and their ilk and the Neo-Nazis are the scourge of the earth!

Oh my God.

Mortimer 11-04-2008 07:02 PM

Doc, and it does pain me to say as much, but your initial post was boiled in corn.



But ,as per usual here on NerdyTrail, an even cornier post was bound to follow.

HandiSappy rescued you.

philcski 11-04-2008 07:44 PM

I tried to get out and vote today. went to my local polling place, said i wasn't properly registered. Hadn't voted since 1996, but sent in my registration when I renewed my license a couple months ago. OK, not processed in time, can I register today? NO- the judge isn't seeing anyone now, but you can submit the paperwork and get a card to vote in a couple months. F*CK YOU NEW YORK STATE!!!!

Somehow you getting silenced by the red tape of the system makes the stories of the disadvantaged who had their ballots stuffed all the more believable. Unreal Phil....anyway on the east coast this race is over welcome BO as your new elected leader of the world that ain't free.....

Did they allow you to cast a provisional ballot? I believe that they have to - it's a federal law. They can discard your vote at a latter date if you are not qualified - but they have to accept the provisional one.

Dude it's NY, voting there is a waste of time because the politicians are awful either way you go. It sucks knowing the guy you vote for is probably gonna wind up screwing you in the end.
