Did you vote today?

[underpants]

If so, what state?

Me - yes. Virginia

[KamaAina]

1. No.

There was nothing on my ballot. Very unusual for CA.

ScreamingMeemie and I just hashed that out on Facebook.

[Papillon]

2. Yes,

Washington State.

[Jim__]

3. Dropped my ballot off yesterday - Colorado.

[Sherman A1]

4. Not yet

just home from work and will go to the polls shortly. Missouri!

[redwitch]

5. yes. Upstate NY nt

[arcane1]

6. I will be later, in San Francisco, and I can't wait!

[hobbit709]

7. Yep. TX. All that was on the ballot was 7 Constitutional amendments and a County bond issue.

[47of74]

8. No, there are no elections where I live

Where I live in Iowa there simply aren't any elections today - I live out in the county and there aren't any county wide officials up for election this year. The county offices are generally on even years, as are elections for members of the Iowa legislature. I did call in to the county elections office to make sure, if there had been I would have gone in to the elections annex and voted early.

[littlewolf]

43. same here in NC - county ..nada.

[Throd]

9. El Dorado County, California

[Mnemosyne]

10. NW PA, on paper no less! nt

[underpants]

17. Yes ours switched from touch screen to fill in the dot

Gov. McAuliffe got rid of all the touch screens (I think).

[Mnemosyne]

21. Apparently a clerical error left an R candidate off the electronic ballot and correcting it would

supposedly cause other issues. I have never filled in a paper ballot, had levers before electronics. It was kind of cool.

I would love to see those machines sitting smashed in a dump...

[FSogol]

23. Yup, McAuliffe famously had trouble voting a few years back and made it a priority

to change systems.

[Raine1967]

33. They were decertified in April:

http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Virginia-Elections-Board-Decertifies-Touchscreen-System-299811281.html

and I — for one — am VERY happy about that!

[CTyankee]

11. CT. Our state offices. Mayor (I voted for the incumbent).

Very unexciting. Hubby works at the polls and likes seeing neighbors and chatting with the other staff. They bring in lunch and also he gets paid!

[tiredtoo]

12. No Michigan

Nothing on local ballot, polls not even open in my district.

[angrychair]

13. I voted a week ago

In Washington...we got our ballots in the mail over a week ago.

[alboe]

14. Yes - California

Only thing on my ballot was a Community College Board. It was the first ever all-mail election for my county.

[Retrograde]

72. No - one of the California cities with nothing on the ballot

We moved all the local elections to coincide with state and national ones, so unless there are some state or county propositions we don't vote in odd-numbered years.

[PADemD]

15. Yes, PA

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

16. I did absent ballot last week in Maine

Important local elections for mayor, city council, and school board here plus a few state wide referendum questions and one county related question.

[PunkinPi]

18. Yup, in VA too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Nope--no elections today in (I believe) LA County. n/t

[pinboy3niner]

26. No county-wide elections, but there are a lot of very local elections in L.A. County

My ballot has 1 community college board seat, one HS district board seat, and 2 local water board seats.

The L.A. County Democratic Party site shows party endorsements for today's elections around the county.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Oh, OK. I thought that since we weren't voting, then nobody was!

Silly me!

[FSogol]

20. Yes. VA. n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

22. Yes, in Oregon, very local Library Levy question. Dropped my ballot off at the election's office

this morning very last minute....

[Mnemosyne]

24. PA has 3 seats on the state Supreme Court on the ballot today, due to corruption and retirements. nt

[Tom_Foolery]

25. Yep -- Kentucky...

[Siwsan]

28. Yes

Michigan - Flint Township

[CharlotteVale]

29. Yes, northern VA.

[underpants]

34. Here in Richmond I've heard NoVa called "occupied Virginia"

[CharlotteVale]

39. To me Fairfax Co. is final outpost of civilaztion!

[gwheezie]

51. I live in rural Virginia, I voted

By the way, we call nova Maryland

[CharlotteVale]

62. I wish I could afford to move to Maryland!

[gwheezie]

89. Me too

I'd like to live in a more liberal state.

[A Little Weird]

30. Yes - KY

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

31. Yes, Ohio.

And I got two other people out to the polls who were thinking about skipping.

I was dubious, but voted for the 'bipartisan' redistricting board, which will be only 75% Republican instead of our current 100% Republican, for the 'don't add monopolies into the state constitution' amendment, and against the 'make Nick Lache and a bunch of other out of state wealthy people billionaires by giving them a monopoly on growing and selling pot in Ohio' amendment.

[underpants]

35. Wow I didn't know about the Nick Lachey thing

Interesting.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

38. There are 10 groups of 'investors' who get to run pot farms if it passes.

And nobody else on a large scale, although supposedly anybody is allowed to grow up to 4 plants, as long as they buy them only from those pot farms, and agree to let the police in to search your house at any time they want to make sure you're not growing more, or storing 'too much'. It's a lousy path to legalization, designed really just to make those people richer. If Ohio wants to legalize, I'm hoping we just do it, without the crapola about only letting a select few form an Ohio drug cartel.

[Travis_0004]

54. So instead of 10 investors, we can let 10 mexican cartels profit for a few more years

Plus jail a few more people while we are waiting for a better law.

[Raine1967]

32. Yes! Virginia as well!

Alexandria has an interesting Mayoral race today.

[hunter]

36. I've not decided yet.

Extremely local here, a short ballot, just two candidates, and I've met them both.

Honestly, this is a political function that ought to be determined by some sort of Star Trek or French bureaucratic style technical meritocracy.

All we need is someone to do the job.

[Prism]

37. No, just embarrassed myself

I went to my polling place! (which is actually city hall and not, as google keeps trying to tell me, a Macaroni Grill).

I wandered into city hall after lunch and looked around a bit, confused. Finally a receptionist must've gotten nervous about my aimless coming and going half a dozen times and flagged me over. I asked where the election was. I couldn't find any posters. She and the others behind the counter gazed pitiably upon me with a countenance one usually reserves for the very slow and explained that we didn't have any elections until next year.

Fuck it. Went to Taco Bell.

[grntuscarora]

50. Aww.

Sometimes, it's the thought that counts.

I humiliated myself last spring by trying to vote in the primaries, forgetting that (at that time) I was still registered as an Independent--a major no, no in PA.

[Blue_Tires]

40. +1 Virginia

Virginia Beach, specifically

(our kind has to stick together)

[haikugal]

41. Leaving to go now...

PA...

[ileus]

42. Yes Virginia.

Wrote myself in many of the unopposed races.

[gwheezie]

53. Well done

I didn't think of that, next time I'll write in your name

[kentauros]

44. Yes. Houston, Texas.

Texas constitutional amendments, county bonds, mayor, comptroller, council at-large positions, HISD trustee opening, and the HERO ordinance

[narnian60]

84. Me, too.

Except I live in Harris County, not the city, so I didn't get to vote for mayor or the Hero ordinance.

[kentauros]

90. I'm kind of surprised to learn

that there's still any part of Harris county that isn't part of Houston

It's so stupid that HERO didn't pass. Yet again, fear wins over compassion.

[femmocrat]

45. Yes. PA.

Important election here for State Supreme Court. Local elections for county and township officials and school board.

[etherealtruth]

46. Yes, metro Detroit (MI)

[Autumn]

47. Dropped mine off 2 days ago. Colorado.

[grntuscarora]

48. Yes. PA.

[LiberalElite]

49. No - NYC -

It didn't appear there was anything to vote for - and yes, I did try to find out. I haven't seen anything in the media, or posters in the neighborhood or emails, nada.

[B Calm]

52. No vote here today for anything.

[groundloop]

55. Would've if I could've.... but nothing to vote for here

[Starry Messenger]

56. I voted by mail a couple of weeks ago.

CA

[central scrutinizer]

57. Yes, Eugene, Oregon

Only one issue - a small property tax increase to increase library hours and services. These November elections coincide with the mailing of property tax bills so they are hard to pass.

[RandySF]

58. I voted earlier this month

Ton of ballot questions.

[4139]

59. I voted for my mother in law for state senate in Virginia :)

Chap Petersen is running unopposed... So I wrote in my mother in law....'she got a big kick out of it

[1monster]

60. Yes. Florida. There was only one issue on the ballot--a half cent

sales tax to sunset in ten years to build new schools and upgrade teaching materials.

Since it's an off year and there was only one issue on the ballot, I expect that turnout was low... which probably meansit won't pass. They should have waited till the general election in 2016.

[rbrnmw]

61. Yes Ohio eom

[climber3986]

63. Yep Maryland

[phylny]

64. I did.

Virginia - the reddest of the red areas.

[mnhtnbb]

65. Yes. NC

We have a significant local election in Chapel Hill to unseat a mayor who has sided with the developer
types. It looks as though it will happen--in a town of 50,000--with only about 10% of the population
voting. I will be pleased if we see this change (along with Town council members) but it's disappointing
to see the pitiful voter turnout.

[teamster633]

66. Yes

NH

[PowerToThePeople]

67. Yes, Washington. Straight Dem ticket.

I always want to be able to vote straight Dem in the future. I hope nothing happens that will make me have to change that.

[SteveG]

68. No

Delaware had no elections today.

[Texasgal]

69. Yes. Texas.

Cast my vote early this morning right when the polls opened.

[SusanCalvin]

78. Texas also.

Disappointed all the constitutional amendments passed and HERO failed.

[SamKnause]

70. Sent my ballot in last week.

I live in Ohio.

[Generic Brad]

71. Yes. Minnesota.

Voted for city council and school board.

[mvd]

73. Voted here in PA

So far Montgomery County PA and statewide results are looking good:

http://6abc.com/politics/2015-local-election-results-for-pennsylvania-/1055346/

[liberal_at_heart]

74. Yes. Washington State.

[ShadowLiberal]

75. Yep, I voted for 3 democrats to join the PA Supreme Court

[NBachers]

76. California

[TexasTowelie]

77. Yes.

There were seven referenda items on the ballot. I was the last person to vote in Wharton and the election judges said that the turnout was actually pretty good in Wharton.

[struggle4progress]

79. Nope. Voted early last week. NC

[840high]

80. Yes.

[NutmegYankee]

81. Yes. Local town government in Connecticut.

It was a complete Democratic win in Montville. By state law a party can only hold so many seats (there is a minimum minority party representation requirement) and we held all that we were allowed.

[sarisataka]

82. Yes, MN

City council and school referendums

[meow2u3]

83. Yes, I voted

I'm in Pennsylvania. Straight Dem ticket.

[Generic Other]

85. A week ago by mail

but even by mail we had low low turnout in WA state.

[catrose]

86. Yes, tx

[Populist_Prole]

87. Yes, NC

Most important was to keep a yuppie republican finance type from becoming mayor. We succeeded.

[loyalsister]

88. Yep- in Missouri

We approved a renewal of a sales tax devoted to our parks, trails, and other recreation. I'm very city for caring about those things.
