I just voted! Yay!
Early/one-stop registration and voting have begun! it's all this week 9am-5pm here in Orange County.
It was easy (long ballot, though) and NO lines! I think most counties will have Saturday hours on May 3rd too.
Check with the SBOE in your county. Now I'm done and I can sit back and relax.:D

I'll be working the front desk at the Obama field office in Chapel Hill on Wed. if anyone wants to come by! :hi:

1. Hey NC_Nurse!
I'm going on Wedsnesday morning. Were you able to get in & out with ease? I'm taking a half day, but I wanted to get some other things done, but I'm hoping I can get in & out fairly quickly.

2. Yep. Maybe 15 minutes at the most. Get one of the Dem voter guides on the
way in if you can. There were some races I didn't know jack shit about, but managed to
figure it out from the info they provided. Your county Dems usually have a table on the
way into the polls where you can get one. VERY helpful.

There was no line at all. You just give them your name and address, sign a form to verify it.
Then they give you a ballot and depending on how much hemming and hawing you do over
things like "county commisioner" and "insurance commisioner" and stuff like that...pretty quick.

Ballots are DOUBLE-sided, don't forget the back. :hi:

3. I received a mailing from the Guilford Cty PAC, and they already had
their recommendations marked. I did some investigation online, (because 2 of them were Repukes), and I was unable to get a lot of info on this PAC. But it was a good guide to make me do some research. I can't wait......

:kick:

4. Good for you! I just read the flyer the Orange County folks gave me.
It was helpful and most of the races that were important to me I knew what I was voting.
I just didn't want to vote for some a'hole by mistake. ;)


:patriot:

6. Yes. We. Are.
:P We are making calls, canvassing, rallying the troops, you name it!
I am working the Obama office front desk tomorrow afternoon 12-3.
Come and see me!

If you have any time today, go by and make PA calls. The address is 504 W. Franklin St. Chapel Hill.
If you can't go in person - call at 929-3460 to ask what you can do in your area. Phone calls can be made
at home right from the website too. Just go to www.barackobama.com and sign up.

GOBAMA!
