Did I vote?

Well, yes, I must admit to making the odd attempt to send a postal vote, in order to influence the final decisions.
I submitted one under the name of Elias Fortescue Mooseblaster, but was soon found out by your CIA, owing to the fact that the name didn't sound American enough, apparently. They advised me to drop my middle name, or change it to Leroy.
On my second attempt, under the guise of "Howlin' Charlie Swampfever", I was nearly successful, until they noticed my headed notepaper, stating that I was the fourth Earl of Droitwich.

I shall try again next time though. It was jolly good fun.

I voted at 7:45--the 42nd person to do so in my precinct. For the first time in 44 years I voted a straight ticket. Some Republicans were inexperienced, some dunderheaded and the guy running for the PA lower house is an out-and-out liar.

I suggest Lord that in the future you use a more american name such as Jubilation T Cornpone.

L.E., you're jolly good fun, hon. Love it.

Yes, I voted and for the first time my husband didn't get to cancel my vote. <smile>

Hey, Tico. I'm tacky. I got my little sticker on and perhaps many may consider that as a sticky wicket. Razz

They give out stickers! I have never received one - and I pretty much have always voted since I was of age.

Just voted!

It went much more easily than I expected; when I arrived there was one free booth, no lines, though a pack of about 7 people happened to arrive (coincidentally, not together) right after me. Voted on the touch-screen, checked the paper printout to make sure it correlated, had a ton of fun selecting the ones I know and like, had a harder time with a scad of judges who I hadn't researched enough -- that was kind of random, felt bad about that.

Now, to wait for results...!!!!! <nibbling fingernails>

Soz, I have the same issue with the judges. Unless you are connected to one of their campaigns, or it is for a higher seat, you'll almost never know who to vote for. You just don't hear anything about them beforehand.

If you don't vote, you can't complain so I will be hitting the polls later this evening, after work. Very worried about long lines as I figure many people will be out voting after work. Confused

Just humour him. He has a lot on his mind with the voting to kill doves in Michigan.

The British variant of the word can be spelled with a 'u', so its not an incorrect spelling.

But we all gotta get our laughs somehow. Most of us just laugh at you and your ridiculous tortured "reasoning", cjhsa.

I gave you straight answers before Snood. You did your usual and got your own thread locked. Nothing new there.

Hubby and I just returned from voting. There was a woman there who's info seemed lost. Although she voted in the last election, there was no record of her registering.

When we left they were still looking for her. She was very patient. I was itching to ask how many voters had been lost today.

Only in America is the "u" not used. In the "civilized" world, the "u" is used in many words. Maybe you should try educating yourself in the ways of the world instead of the ways of Smith & Wesson.

Trust me, I know about the "proper English spelling", but in your case, there is still no "u" in humor.

If it's any consolation, I understood what you meant and laughed cjhsa...

Perhaps "u" should be more literal so as to not confuse the liberals.
