We vote by mail...totally not exciting. And of course that means, no sticker. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382663 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 22:21:09 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 382663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted today! And sadly, my stupid county gives a piece of paper, not a sticker, that says "I voted today" - how lame is that?! Obama over here, living in his home state... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382656 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 22:14:45 +0000 luckypenny 382656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD, DH &amp; I just got back from voting for President Obama here in Califrnia :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382648 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:56:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 382648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I'm jealous of all the props. There were some I wanted to be able to vote on!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382591 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:06:12 +0000 sunny 382591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: if you were born to american citizens, doesn't that still make you eligible since you're still a "natural born citizen"? john mccain was born in panama, although he was born on a military base. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382505 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 20:10:12 +0000 immabeetoo 382505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was all pumped to get my absentee ballot and skip going in person but it never came! So I showed up anyways (had to show ID, booo Kansas) and filled out a 'provisional' ballot that will count as long as my mystery missing ballot never gets returned (uhh hope it doesnt!). But at least baby participated in voting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382444 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 19:28:26 +0000 junebugmama 382444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed my way through the voting process and let the 5 year old cast my vote. He announced "there it is! The O I was looking for!" You could hear all the giggles in the gymnasium. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382411 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 19:04:20 +0000 Sweet T 382411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: The absentee ballot ruined it for me too.</p> <p>This would have been my first time voting but I was mistaken on what I needed to do for an absentee ballot. Bummer. My vote would have contributed to the majority in my home state. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382392 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:46:24 +0000 littlebug 382392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Try it! I didn't realize I never re-registered under my married name. I was still able to vote, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382389 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:44:08 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 382389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd vote for obama if I could but I'm not in the US/american. But I'm always excited to watch presidential elections :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382374 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:33:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 382374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just cast my vote for Obama - but in California its not like it matters because we will most definitely be a Blue state. I care more about the props, especially since CA is over $16 billion in debt!</p> <p>I am still registered under my maiden name... and I brought a marriage certificate, so I was really surprised they didn't need to see my ID or verify my address! What if someone else goes in and claims to be me?</p> <p>This is the first time I've voted in person... usually I do absentee ballot. It was thrilling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382337 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:41:44 +0000 Ree723 382337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could have voted but the registration deadline for absentee (given that I'm overseas6 was super early and I missed it. :-(. Fortunately, I'm from a state that is heavily blue so my Obama vote would only have strengthened his win there!</p> <p>As a side note, voting is compulsory in Australia in every election - even little local elections. If you don't vote, expect a $100 fine arriving in the mail! I think it's a brilliant idea.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-382326 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:30:22 +0000 stargal 382326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obama! not a fan of romney at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-381697 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:13:57 +0000 BelugaBean 381697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: We lived right near the nuclear plant there since that's where my husband worked (and why we moved there).</p> <p>ETA: And my doctor was in Maple Grove! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-381660 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:03:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 381660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: that's where my sister lives!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-didwill-you-vote-for/page/2#post-381475 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:54:14 +0000 sunny 381475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could vote but I'm not a citizen yet!
