I will not be voting for Obama in November. There I said it.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

I will be early voting in October. Early voting starts here on the 15th.

Remember to vote early. In the event something comes up on election day you won't have to worry. I missed the 2000 general election because I got stuck in the office till 10 pm. Never again (not that it would have mattered for Gore - I'm in Illinois).

I want to be part of the landslide.

1. To the trashbin with you!!!

[catbyte]

10. I hope you were kidding, PuzzledTraveler!

[Maeve]

2. Since I'll probably be working the election and voting absentee, same here

[JitterbugPerfume]

27. Maeve!

[HubertHeaver]

3. I thought you were going to tell us

you would be voting against Romney.

I think Illinois is still safe but Indications are they are going to steal Wisconsin.

[JNelson6563]

4. I'll be there on election day.

And our county Dems will have poll watchers at every site. We are often able to recruit some of lawyers who are members to keep an eye on things during election day.

I hope lots of county parties do this. I will be helping with giving folks rides to polls and whatever else is needed. Besides, you don't get the little "I Voted" sticker when you vote absentee.

Of course I realize it is the best option for many and for that reason I am grateful we have absentee voting.

5. I'll be voting in October too.

[Retrograde]

6. Same here

I'll be on the other side of the country visiting my mom on election day, and my ballot will be in the mail before I leave - since the mail-in ballots are sent out a month ahead, I'll have plenty of time to fill it in, send it, and check to see that it's been received before I leave.

7. I vote absentee, but I might just walk my ballot down to the polling place on election day

because I am PROUD to be part of the crowd that is going to RE-ELECT OBAMA!!

[freshwest]

8. +1,000

13. The campaign tracks which of their voters have requested absentee ballots and which ones have turned

them in. If you vote early & turn it in, they cross you off their list and focus on the other voters they need to turn out. One reason to vote early is so you don't keep getting phone calls & mailings, along with letting the campaign focus their limited resources on people who may need more encouragement.

Just an FYI

[kestrel91316]

28. In those years when I have mailed in my ballot early I haven't noticed any fewer

calls or less junk mail.

[littlewolf]

38. me either ... nt

[Pirate Smile]

9. I usually vote in September because that's when our early voting starts.

[Cigar11]

11. Me 2

I'm with you ... and I'm also in Illinois.

So in true Illinois tradition ... Vote early and Vote often to offset the Suppression

I'm just kidding ...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. My dad used to say he was voting for the first dead Mayor Daley.

Since so many dead people voted for him when he was alive he figured why not?

[Stuckinthebush]

14. Read?

Look again.

[IDemo]

16. Counting down - 3,2,1....

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

15. I'm not actually registered to vote...

[firenewt]

18. I had an entirely different take on his statement. He will not be voting for Obama in November

because he will have already voted for Obama in October.

[Tigress DEM]

35. Ooooooo. Gotta read it again. brb

[rurallib]

20. We usually go to the county auditor's office day 1 of voting

and cast our ballot early, usually around my birthday.
The auditor is a republican and i always like to make a show of voting.
Usually we are so busy calling etc on election day that we might not vote.

[iamthebandfanman]

21. the vile

and ignorance of conservatives has erased any disagreements ive had with president obama..
something i expected to happen, but thought would take longer to occur

their tactics and double speak are terribly annoying and frustrating.

i just hope the rest of democrats feel the same way. we cant afford low turnouts.
theyll definitely steal it again.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Agree. I've had my problems with president Obama...

...but I will RUN, not walk, to cast a ballot for him and any other Democrat on the ballot.

[apocalypsehow]

23. Haaahaaa! You got me. Rec.

[Nye Bevan]

24. I will not be pulling the lever for Obama.

Voting absentee ballot by mail is far more convenient.

[JustAnotherGen]

25. Whew

You gave me a heart attack. No fair!

[AnnieK401]

26. I will be voting for Obama in Nov. in FL

Or maybe October. I live in FL and they cut early voting here. Just hope the vote here doesn't get stolen. Oh by the way, you need a Gov. ID to vote here. I was planning to use my Drivers License, up for renewal in Sept. I just happen to be a registered Dem. and just got a letter outlining all the paperwork I will need to bring to renew my license. It includes an acceptable copy of my birth certificate, my social security card, and proof of my address. Although, I think there is a way to renew online and avoid all that.

[Bake]

29. I knew you were going to say "early voting."

So I only clicked on this to confirm that!

[pasto76]

30. you got me. Very funny.

[YOHABLO]

31. Good Idea!

Thanks for the reminder about early voting. I live in the lovely Red State of Georgia. Although my vote will be canceled out by the Republican majority, in terms of the electoral system, I still vote. Sitting out doesn't solve anything. But I would love to see the the electoral system changed, allowing my vote to count. It won't.

[sarge43]

32. I won't be pulling the lever for President Obama

I'll make a check mark next to his name on a paper ballot, then dropping it in a hundred year old ballot box.

[Bluenorthwest]

33. Staying home on Election Day...

Oregon votes by mail, we have Election Fortnight, an interlude for ballot and pen....

[Solomon]

34. Great post.

[FogerRox]

36. LOL

[magnifisense]

37. All right, you got me!

I thought this was going to be a thread supporting a third party.

Please, no more April Fools in June.

[TexasTowelie]

39. I must admit that the first thing I checked was your profile

to see if you were PPR'd.

Then I read the remainder of your OP, but you still deserve this for getting everyone all riled up:

for leading us to believe that you defected.

But a big for getting out there and voting for President Obama.
