There's a big local measure that was important to me to vote on, more even than statewide ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929969 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 21:01:19 +0000 jedeve 1929969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: my state has same day registration. It's actually on the ballot to get rid of it! But examples like that is why we need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929940 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:53:04 +0000 MrsSCB 1929940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was no line at all after work, yay! My first time voting in person rather than absentee :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929930 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:49:48 +0000 Silva 1929930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Voted early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929890 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:13:55 +0000 Caly 1929890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Voted on my way home from work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929843 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 19:29:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1929843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929841 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 19:27:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 1929841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO and I voted after work! After we voted, she said: more! More voting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929835 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 19:22:08 +0000 Anagram 1929835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like super mom today because I raced home after work, stopped in to my polling place with LO and voted, threw together some dinner for her while I waited for a babysitter to come over, and then raced back to work for an event we have tonight from 6-8 pm. I have an hour commute both ways so I will have been in my car almost 4 hours by the end of today, plus worked 10 hours AND made dinner in the 20 minutes I was home.</p> <p>Anyway...I'm just proud that I stuck with my convictions that voting is important. I was super pressed for time, but I made myself still go and do it. Phew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929833 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 19:19:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 1929833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted after work...I voted for someone who may or may not end up being my boss come Jan! (I'm a state employee...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929705 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:48:07 +0000 fairy 1929705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one car and my husband is using it all day (left early and is coming home late). He'll be getting home about an hour before the polls close, so I could rush out and vote if I was so inclined, but I am choosing not to because I am still new to the state and haven't researched the candidates. I would rather not vote than make an uninformed vote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929700 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:44:51 +0000 littlejoy 1929700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vote by drop-off or mail here in Oregon. My DH dropped our ballots off today! We have measure 92 (for labeling GMOs), and a measure for legalizing marijuana on the ballot this year. It's a big year for our state, and I'm excited to see what the turnout was like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929699 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:42:49 +0000 BSB 1929699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my county, we don't have polling stations and it's all done by mail. (For the presidential election, they'll have polling stations, I think.) I meant to grab my voting documents before I left for work but I forgot. I'm hoping I can get home and mark off my choices before the 8pm drop off deadline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929697 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:39:07 +0000 MrsBrewer 1929697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted during lunch today!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929689 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:32:30 +0000 artsyfartsy 1929689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't get out of the house which is a shame (and really not a valid excuse) because our senator race is so so close. Also I met the candidate I would have been voting for at a speech/meeting and it was a nice experience! I've never been so involved in an election before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929688 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:32:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1929688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted!

But I will make sure it's in order before the next election! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929358 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:36:29 +0000 littlebug 1929358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not voting. I haven't done enough research on the Senate/House candidates to make an informed decision. And as for our governor's race, I don't like our current governor, but I don't trust his opponent, so I can't really confidently vote for either. I don't feel good about it, but I wouldn't feel good about voting without being sure about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929357 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:36:05 +0000 MrsSCB 1929357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going after work. I'm now wishing I went before work, but that somehow did not occur to me....haha I just hope it occurred to everyone else so it's not super crowded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929305 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:17:56 +0000 Espion 1929305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just voted!!

DH went before work so he could pick up the girls for me.<br /> If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't vote. He keeps trying to hammer it into me how important voting/elections are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929190 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:39:11 +0000 mrs. bird 1929190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Voted this morning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929187 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:38:20 +0000 loveisstrange 1929187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish! :crying: My voter registration is messed up from living overseas and I didn't know about the issue soon enough to correct it in time to vote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929183 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:37:54 +0000 MapleMoose 1929183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going with DH when he gets home from work later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929167 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:33:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1929167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todays-election-day#post-1929132 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:19:57 +0000 Radish 1929132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm skipping this year because I just moved to this state and I haven't researched any of the candidates.
