I voted this morning. [View all]

I live in Alexandria. I had applied, by mail, for an absentee ballot two weeks ago today. I received my absentee ballot, by mail, one week ago today.

I was sitting around this morning, when it occurred to me that the registrar's office was open today. It is open every Saturday in October. So, just after 8:00, I took my unopened envelope down to the registrar's office.

There wasn't anyone in line. The people outside in favor of Amendment 1 were still setting up their stand.

I surrendered my absentee ballot. Other people there were doing that too. I walked in, provided my ID, got a "normal" ballot, filled in the blanks, and turned it in. It scanned without error. I got my sticker. I am a voter.

On one hand, I wanted to give the money to the USPS, but on the other hand, I didn't want my ballot to disappear in the mail. Also, I know that my ballot has been accepted. Had I made a mistake on a ballot that I mailed in, I don't think there would have been anyway for me to have been notified. By voting in person, I no longer have either of those concerns.

I had intended to vote for Biden. Now, I'm a tough guy, a big, tough guy, like a steelworker. I've never cried, not even when I was a baby. But when I thought about all the suffering Glorious Leader has gone through in the last two day, I broke into tears. The image of Glorious Leader appeared before me, and I said, "Sir, thank you for all the sacrifices you have made. You could have stayed a happy multi-billionaire, but, no, you gave it all up, just for us. Thank you for your leadership, sir!" And then, wiping away my tears, I....

Sure.

For the record. I voted "no" on Amendment 1 and "yes" on Amendment 2. I had been in favor of Amendment 1 until I followed the links provided here a few days ago. Thanks for that. I think Amendment 2 is going to pass no matter how I voted on it.

How do people feel about the Constitutional amendments that are on the ballot? NT
