(4,033 posts)couldn't do a straight ticket, because I had to write in a name for US congressman. Our repug is running unopposed.

(13,871 posts)Unfortunately, almost all of my County races only have an R running, so leaving those blank. Will actually vote for one R since he is a moderate (in SC terms) and has an insane Tea Party lady running against him.

(15,222 posts)I am taking four women with me, the youngest of which is in her early forties, who have never voted before. We will go stand in line and vote, and then go have a celebratory lunch.
I won't be voting straight Dem ticket. The reason being for that is that in my precinct there are sometimes third party candidates running against a Republican and no Democratic candidate. In those instances, I vote for anything that is not a Republican. If there's a Dem candidate, I vote for the Dem.
Like you, I cannot WAIT until my vote is cast and I can sit back and relax a little.

It's not over until November 9th, and we can't afford Trumpery.
Kick ass on getting your vote in though!
Peacetrain
(22,877 posts)but being a retired person.. getting that early vote out.. frees up the line on Nov 8th for working people who cannot get to the court house for early voting (its only during working hours) that and it feels great
