How many times could you have voted today?
I coulda easily voted two times. At the place I went I had to vote absintee because the stupid thing was divided all wrong. So after I ws told this, I walked to the absintee booth and they asked me has your ID been checked? (It hadn't) I said, "yes" and then she asked me my name.I could have given her any name.
I could have easily gone to the other polling station and voted again.

1. I love your picture! In America only neo-cons get to vote twice.

2. Well, I'm not in Canada, but I voted today.....
Today was the Democratic party runoff election for city councilman in my district in Smalltown Mississippi. There is no Republican or independent candidate so the winner wins the seat automatically.

It was the only election on the ballot so I only got to vote once.

4. I timed how long it took me today
2 minutes and 58 seconds and I didn't even have my voter registration card with me.

5. LOL, now that is lightning speed turnaround!
It probably will be the same where I live, in a way, I hope not though, a decent turnout would be better, if not for the candidates, at least for the voting system.

7. LOL, that's about how long it took me...
and I had a name change AND an address change in addition to not having my card. :silly:
And to answer the OP, there's no way I could've voted twice, they took my ID and wrote down all the numbers. Not sure how it would've gone had I had a card though.

6. You should have done it, and blown the lid on the story.
You would have grabbed national headlines.

You probably still could.
