Cellar exit poll - Election 2006 - Page 2

Pangloss62 · 11-07-2006, 05:54 PM

Since I live in the Peach State, even the Democrats are kinda Republican. I feel that, outside of Atlanta, it's kinda useless. But I did vote.

It's those Bench appointments you need to study up on. As you all know, they are non-partisan.

i voted for some dem, some rep in the races that mattered. i voted for libertarians or other third party candidates in the other races.

Colorado had a 9 page ballot, also. It took about 45 minutes to vote in my little town because they asked if I wanted to use touch screen or paper. I asked if Diebold had a part in either method, and they said "no," so I innocently said touch screen. Well, out of 12 voting machines, only one was touch screen, so there was an extra wait for that. I liked how it let you review your votes at the end and make sure you had put in the responses you really wanted to. I voted all democrat except for the candidate for local sheriff whom I am acquainted with. He made up his very own party for his campaign - not independent, not Libertarian, just something like the Joe Smith for Sheriff party (JSS).

I voted for a zillionth of a cent tax increase to help the schools around here. Lord knows, the schools in this part of the world need all the help they can get. And I voted for Colorado to join with some other states to sue for the money we have to spend enforcing Federal immigration laws.

It took me about an hour to vote today, a healthy line. It happened that when I was up, I got to use the one new touchscreen (oooh!)- it took about 3 x as long, but then printed out the dark bubbled ballot that I put in the counter. Voted straight D, for instant runoff for city elections (to give those 3rd candidates a chance) and to restrict the use of transportation tax funds for transportation projects.

Very short ballot here. I voted Democratic against the two Republican enablers of Bushwar, Sen. Santorum/ Rep. Sherwood. Voted Republican for Swann for Guvnah and Pickett for State Rep to try to keep Philly in check. Voted no on the debt measure. No Libertarians available here so I sent cash out West.

Voted for Santorum and Sherwood even though Sherwood is a bonifide ass even in good Rep times.

If W can go and promote this dumbass with a straight face...I guess I can vote for him while wincing.

Felt pretty good about voting for Swann. He's not under investigation. Not yet anyway.

Pickett has been actively pro 2a for as long as I can remember.

Well #88 didn't poll too well (I haven't seen the numbers yet) so I guess there won't be an investigation. He picked the wrong election cycle.

edit- Swanny won my township.

Why choose Swann over Rendell? That's one I really can't understand.

I dont vote for Democrats. I may not enjoy voting for some Reps but I never vote Dem.

Leaving now to execute my civic duty, with equal parts pride and trepidation.

Updates to follow.

There were three people in line ahead of me to vote. This is unusual. Typically there are no people ahead of me in line. Since there were two voting machines, the line moved fairly quickly.

There were no positions lower than State House Rep on the ballot, and only one initiative (about funding for Gulf War I vets).

There were NO independent candidates for any of the seats, but you could still vote Straight Green or Straight Libertarian. I suppose that would be one of those "making a statement" kinds of votes.

Excuse me! Why is this poll only for US? Given the influence (and arogance) of the US govt, I think it only fair that the whole world gets to vote not only on your polls but also in your elections..... you do believe in Democracy, don't you?

Like it or not, the biggest dog on the block gets to call the shots. You Brits should have hung onto to your empire. Then YOUR policies might be influencing us, instead of the other way around.
