Poll question: Should I vote early?
I'm afraid to... those stupid machines scare me.

Our candidate for senate says to do it. I was going to wait for Nov. 2... but now I'm wondering if I should just do it.

What do you think?

2. Vote early
I wish I could. I want to send out the message now. There are thousands of lawyers and others working to make sure nothing is done to "lose" your vote. I don't believe the republicans will give up trying to get rid of Kerry votes, but we're smarter than they are. They won't prevent honest Americans from electing Kerry.

5. But see if I wait for Nov 2 I get to use the scanned ballot thingy
If I vote early I have to vote on one of those diabolic machines.

:scared:

13. Remember the congressional races, redqueen
If Bush wins, better to have a Dem congress. If Kerry wins, better to have a Dem congress.

No state is out of it for Congressional races! :thumbsup:

...I'm going to try to go today, but the locations in Harris County don't look like they're anywhere near me... (Galleria).

PS: I hate the %@#%^$ machines, too. :grr:

6. Seriously?!
I thought they were using the scan ballots again on voting day as per usual.

CRAP!

Well, if that's the case, why the heck not. :(

7. Well - I'm not absolutely sure about Dallas/Tarrant County
Check your county clerk's website.

All I know is we're stuck with those monstrosities down here in Houston. :eyes:

8. Yeah I've been on hold a while
Finally got through - and they're scan ballots on Nov 2.

I think I just may wait. I'm such a luddite.
