shadowkatI voted. Got up at 6:15, voted at 7:10, was at work by 8 am. Line was about 15 minutes long. But I was early. The other district lines were much longer and by the time I left, people were standing in the hall. Was worried about it, so got it out of the way. Who did I vote for? Ahem. Have you been reading my livejournal?
Not going to watch the election returns, because I hate politics. Makes me edgy. Besides, did what I could do, ball is out of my hands. Will probably check before I go to bed and when I wake up. Also periodically throughout tomorrow. I *seriously* doubt we'll have an answer until sometime late tomorrow or maybe even Friday, if the last election is any example. These guys are in a dead heat in the polls and some of the states voting systems are, well, pretty confusing. My mother explained South Carolina's and I rolled my eyes. They have to fill out a long slip of paper, do the President separately from the other categories, if they are voting a certain party, and the issues separately, then slip the paper into a machine. Sigh. NYC's is much easier - we still do the old red lever machines. Which aren't perfect, but much better than the alternatives.
A fanfic recommendation even if you are like me and stopped reading the stuff: Check out the ATPO's Virtual S6 Angel Screenplays. Not your usual fanfic. Actually has some interesting philosophical ideas going on in it. Worth a look. Focus on how the writers explore the four characters and their inter-relationships with each other. Lots of potential here. Certainly the best "post" Not Fade Away fic I've seen. And that's saying a lot guys, since to be honest? I despise reading screenplays and had lost interest in fanfic.

you've got a point, but what worries me...
Date: 2004-11-04 07:55 am (UTC)However, this was forwarded to me by someone on Howard Dean's Democracy for America email list:
"Montana, one of the reddest states, has a new Democratic governor.
First-time candidates for state legislatures from Hawaii to Connecticut beat incumbent Republicans. [so maybe if an anti-gay-marriage amendment passes, it won't be ratified]
And a record number of us voted to change course -- more Americans voted against George Bush than any sitting president in history."
That's something. Not enough, but it's something.
