Thats pretty cool. Mine are a little young yet, but two of the three voted in school (kindergarten and third grade). My son last night was telling my almost 5 year old that he didn’t vote for the lady in Alaska because she broke laws when she was there. While that is up for dispute on some levels, I was more impressed that he picked that up from conversations my wife and I have had about it. He is against 424, though......*sigh* I see many interesting dinner conversations in my future.

CP - My parents always took us to the polls when I was a youngster too.
CS - Adorable! It reminds me of this story I saw yesterday.

I just got back from the voting booth. Afterward, I participated in my very first exit poll. Look for my vote on TV!

I’m sure they’ll show the results of everyone’s votes tonight.

I voted for Coke whenNovember 4, 2008 at 11:42am
I voted for Coke when I took the Pepsi Challenge. I took it at the West Acres mall in Fargo, ND about a dozen times. I think I picked Coke every time. I was just excited about free pop.
I still drink Coke.
West A Dad says
Coke is it!!November 4, 2008 at 1:35pm
I voted around 11:30, good turnout, short line at my polling place. Two ledgers being used and I was #148 in the ledger I signed.

RE: Coke is it!!November 4, 2008 at 3:07pm
I was number 64 at my polling place. That was prior to 9:00 am. Where I vote there are actually two precincts voting. The other line was much longer than the one I was in.
West A Dad says
Good point,November 4, 2008 at 3:47pm
they might have increased the precincts where I voted. There are a lot more folks west of Coddington Avenue since the last presidential race.

Why not vote by mail?November 4, 2008 at 3:36pm
Oregon elections are 100% vote by mail. I miss spreading the ballots and the voters pamphlets on the kitchen table and having all the time in the world to ponder each check mark.

I went around 9:30 thisNovember 4, 2008 at 5:47pm
I went around 9:30 this morning. I was #139 and there was no one in line at the time. I think I found a rare moment when the place wasn’t busy. I even got a free cup of coffee from Starbucks afterward.

4:30 PM and I wasNovember 5, 2008 at 10:52am
4:30 PM and I was the 269th voter. I was shocked cuz I am usually around 70. Poll worker said it was the first time it has ever gone over 200 in her time at that place.

Fletch says HELL YES. November 4, 2008 at 10:23am
HELL YES.
CS says Not today, but yes. My November 4, 2008 at 10:24am
Not today, but yes. My wife is, sometime today when I leave work to watch the kids for a bit.

“I voted two weeks ago.”
Shame the Lancaster County Election Commission doesn’t include a sticker when they mail your ballot.
Sarah says No Kidding! November 4, 2008 at 12:31pm
I just made a (hand written) sticker for an early-voting co-worker. It says: “I Voted Last Week!”
A different co-worker, who commutes from Gretna, has a simple “I Voted” sticker that would be perfect for early voter.
Dave K says I voted last Friday. November 4, 2008 at 10:46am
I voted last Friday. I haven’t missed a single vote in my entire life.
Mr. Wilson says Oh yeah? November 4, 2008 at 10:50am
Who did you vote for in the Pepsi Challenge?
Dave K says RE: Oh yeah? November 4, 2008 at 10:51am
Nice. I don’t even know what that is. :(
Mr. Wilson says RE: Oh yeah? November 4, 2008 at 11:23am
Really? Well study up, Dave, because you never know when knowledge like this will help you win a game of Trivial Pursuit: Pepsi Challenge
Dave K says RE: Oh yeah? November 4, 2008 at 11:28am
Oh, I see. I don’t drink pop, so I’m not eligible for that one. If I remember correctly, Pepsi was the lesser tasting of the two.
CP says As a Family November 4, 2008 at 10:59am
We’ll vote after work as an entire family. I want my children to understand the importance of what happens in a Democracy.
