#3 Its revolution, civil war, anarchy, Amer Hiroshima + Motherly Commie Airborne iff Dubya-GOP "steals" another one. Just vecuz Amer is suppos to be a Representative Democracy doesn't mean our Clintonian Federalism = Trianglular/Socialist Centralism NPE, etal. has to tell the Voters = "the People" anything, espec vv OWG. US LEFT > America is the only Nation that make Socialism work, ergo is the only one that has to give its sovereignty, freedoms + endowments. The world-mighty, future USSA-CPUS = weak/controlled Global SSR = WARSAW PACT. BERLIN = VICHY, don't ya know.

#5 This isn't a day to withhold a vote because someone didn't do 100% of what you wanted. No candidate or party is perfect. But they do stand for things, and you have a choice.

I could not have said it any better, Steve.

#9 I'm in the Washington state / Snohomish County - we have no polling places where I live - they are illegal.

Everyone must vote by mail. That way the ballots can get ~~mislaid~~ lost easier. Not to mention the dead, felons, and imaginary friends won't get 'disenfranched' by having to actually exist and appear at a polling place...

And as an added bonus we may not know the results until weeks afterwards -- and its way, way, more expensive!

#11 I voted, one of the first in line this morning.

Today's the day America will either decide to soldier on until the job is done, or announce to the world that we have lost our minds, our nerve, our spines and our balls, and that all we really want to do is curl up in the fetal position and pretend it's 9/10 again.

God have mercy on us if we choose the latter; our enemies certainly won't. Vote like your life depends on it, folks-- because it does.

#12 I'm in a largely Democrat district in CA (the 10th US House District has been virtually owned by Ellen Tauscher since '89 or thereabouts; didn't prevent me from running ineffectively against her in 2000 though) so I'm expecting huge Dhimmi wins out here.

Won't prevent me from voting this afternoon though and I'll be voting straight Republican (as will my mother and her roommate).

Voting is an honor, a privilege, and a sacred duty for every eligible American.

#13 Voted absentee from South Korea, straight Republican ticket. They drive me nuts sometimes but the Democrats, quite simply, hate this country and what it stands for. I'm sorry as hell that it's a choice between the bad and the worse but I'm damned if I'm going to let the worse come to pass if there's anything I can do to stop it. Those who have died defending the liberty I now enjoy deserve no less.

#14 I just pulled the lever for straight GOP in PA (well, technically, I pushed the button but the idea is the same). It feels good. Somebody noted once that when you vote, you're alone with your conscience in order to perform the central duty of democracy. Politicians are begging you to vote for them -- it's not you begging them for favors, but them begging you. That kind of power being devolved to individuals is unprecedented in world history.

The franchise is like a muscle: it only works well if you exercise it!

#16 If they ever get the machines fixed at my polling place I'll vote. Been there twice already this morning and no one has any idea when or if they will be fixed. This is a heavy Republican area with about 1200 people voting at this particular place. I hope everyone who has tried to vote this morning goes back as many times as it takes. If the machines aren't fixed we will be given paper ballots but there are none available as of now. This really stinks.

#19 To Ed Rendell (Gov. of Pennsylvania): Ed, I like you and I seriously considered voting for you even though you are a Democrat, but when I got into the booth I decided that your being a Democrat is a serious character flaw, so I hit the "All Republican Candidates" button and left with a clear conscience.

#21 How do we know if the Republicans are going to keep the house? Certainly the exit polls won't tell us as most of us went to bed in 2004 thinking that Kerry had won.

The way you will know if the Republicans are taking the house will be when the MSM begins talking endlessly about fraud and voting irregularities in the house/senate races that are "too close to call".

If you are voting Republican, it is imperative that you get off your behind and vote. DO IT NOW!! As important as winning is that the margin of victory is beyond dispute. (If you are a democrat - don't sweat it- one limp hanging chad can swing the election your way.)

#24 Here in the West suburbs of Chicago we had the option of paper ballots or touch screen voting. This was the first time for electronic voting in my district so I went with the touch screen to see what all of the fuss was about. Most people chose paper ballots.
The screen itself is quite large and the voting options are laid out clearly on the screen. If you make a mistake you can instantly correct it without having to get a new ballot from a poll worker. When selections are completed, a paper copy of your ballot is printed on a roll of paper. This paper ballot is viewable to the voter behind some clear plastic that is right next to the touch screen. This is not a receipt it is a verification measure. Even at this stage you can change your vote. Once you have reviewed the entire paper ballot and approved it the results are saved.
If there was a Republican candidate, he or she got my vote. The only thing I don't like about the way we vote is that ID was not required. The only thing I was asked was my last name.

#26 Interesting story being reported out of Atlanta, GA.

Neil Boortz, talk show host, went to vote this morning. The computer system at his precinct acknowledged he was a registered voter, but would not permit him to vote.

Boortz says he'll return to vote later this afternoon in order to give the precinct people a chance to "fix the problem".

Preliminary analysis per Boortz: Someway, somehow, someone has already voted using Boortz's identity which expalins why the computer won't allow him to vote "twice".

Boortz will update his listeners on tomorrow's program. Developing....

#28 Interesting, Mark Z. Knowing Boortz's following here in atlanta, that could have a LOT of attention!

And, CS, we here in the red state of Georgia have had electronic touch-screen voting since before the 2004 Presidential elections. If we here in this stupid, red-neck state of Georgia (who houses quite a few of those loathed, uneducated soldiers to boot) can get electronic voting down, surely you all can, lol!

#29 Boortz update (per Boortz):

Sec. of State for GA just contacted Boortz to advise him that someone, someway, changed his address to vote to a different precint. He's pissed.

#30 Will vote tonight, right after work.

Not surprised about the goings-on in Atlanta: when Pat Robertson ran for the GOP nomination, a lot of evangelical black voters were unable to vote because their otherwise democratic precincts didn't happen to have ANY Republican voting ballots...

Heh, I like to think that, down here in South Georgia, Electronic voting FINALLY gave us clean elections, since the political boss SOBs are too damn computer-ignorant to hack the vote. I'm probably the only one capable of doing so within a 3 county radius, and I'll turn the SOB in who even TRIES to solicit me to do so.

Go Vote. Git 'er done.

Cook County voters: Mark E is absolutely right. Peraika is the must vote to do; Topinka [swallows hard] is next. Outside Cook, if you live in IL-6 you gotta vote for Roskam over Duckworth, and in IL-8 you gotta vote for McSweeeney over Bean. That's where we can make a difference in Illinois.

Bad news for Dems was that I really had to hold my nose and vote for a Repub that I didn't want to vote for. In a different election, I probably would have voted for his challenger. Not this time.

#84 Voted about an hour ago - straight Republican as I said (the moms voted this morning).

Breezed right in, one of the pollworkers was holding out the ballot before I'd even signed in. I presented my unsigned registration card, signed the register, asked if I needed to sign the registration card or show my driver's license ("No" on both accounts), was handed the ballot, stepped to a booth with no waiting, voted, and was in and out in less than 20 minutes.

What was scary was that they almost seemed desperate to get people to vote, that there weren't any lines at my polling place in Antioch, CA, and that the weather was beautiful, bright, sunny, and warm, but the activity at the polling places I saw along the way and around town seemed way low.

#85 Fun Fact: Here in Sin City, suddenly Cox Cable has all sorts of problems with the FoxNews Channel - in and out, half-scrambled, basically unwatchable. Been going on for the last 15+ minutes.

None of the other channels are having this problem. Go figure, huh?

#89 Lol, I just called Cox to report the problem (still going on) and they have a recording saying that there have been a number of reports, they are aware of the problem, and engineers are on it - no ETA.

Oh, and they confirm it's ONLY the FoxNews Channel having a problem.

The House will go Donk and the Senate will be within 2 of a tie, IMO - could go either way.

Corker's looking good in TN, Allen (Dumbass R, VA) looks shaky, and to my complete amazement, there is not one service I can find with ANY results in the Steele / Cardin (MD) race.

#99 amy klobuchar is going to take one of the senate seats. klobuchar is a cut and run liberal. it will be interesting to see how the voting breaks down. i'm sure the outstate minnesota voters didn't want anything to do with her. the trouble is mark kennedy is dim as a box of rocks. can't win them all.

doomed to the stupid. the crime rate in moscow on the mississippi, minneapolis, is out of control. black thugs murdering left and right and amy klobuchar's pc office is completely soft on the punks. now they have sent her to dc...

pathetic.

keep a stiff upper lip folks!

#101 Optimist? Me? Perhaps. But as much as I'm pissed at the Pubs for the job they HAVEN'T been doing, I still vote for them. I heard a estimate that around 25% of Pubs in that voted ended up doing AGAINST the GOP. It was heart-breaking to even hear something like that. Is it true? I don't know, but I get the feeling at least some people did so. I would hate to think of the Democrats in control of either house.

Senate is a tossup, IMO... Fox just called Cardin the winner in MD with only 1% of precincts in.

Oh, it will be a real eye opener alright. If the Dems do actually take the House, the next two years could spell the end for the Democratic Party. It will pull the mask all the way off. Let's hope the country can survive it.

#110 Fox just reported that in IN-09, Hill (D) vs Sodrel (R-incumbent) just got very interesting - FBI called in when unopened absentee ballots were found after all had supposedly been counted... or so I gathered. Hill was leading by less than 2,000 votes...

#111 Saw that too, .com. Good to see you got your Fox News back, lol!

Something I've often wondered is, what happens with these absentee ballots when they come in? Do we really trust some of these pukes to handle them correctly? I've often heard that absentee ballots trend (especially in a time of war) Republican big time, so this could prove interesting. I voted at around 6:15 EST. Took about 20-30 minutes. Had to show ID, be on the Voter Registration roll FOR THAT PRECINCT AND sign a (basically) afidavit that I was only voting once. This is in metro Atlanta, a very red area too. And, that's before voting on some strong State amendments to even further cull election fraud, lol!

#114 The VA Senate race (Allen) is looking Repub. with 91%+ of the districts reporting. Looks like TN will go Republican too. Looking like we could pick up two seats in the House here in GA too, from what Fox News is showing with 58%+ of districts in.

#124 Well it's a done deal. I wouild say that that the Republican senate and congress have reaped what they sowed. They betrayed the conservative revolution of '94. For that, the nation will pay a heavey, painful price. I can only hope that we learn the right lessons. In the meantime, the jihadists have just been handed a huge victory. Say what you want...believe what you want....but IT IS Tet all over again and so will be the ensuing slaughter unless we act every day to overturn what has happened. We must lobby ouir reps everyday and hammer home the harsh lesson. There are no guarantees here....the price we will pay will be monstrous, but we need now to lay the foundation that will allow the US to overcome what has been laid before us. My prediction....within 2 years we will see a major and succesful terrost attack here in the US. This is the hammer blow. Do we rise up to meet it, or bow down in subjugation?

#126 The Senate hinges on: MO, TN, VA, and MD.

We only need three out of four. MO and TN seem fine. In the worst case we have Cheney casting deciding votes.

Ds running the House may be a necessary wake-up call. Or else, the call will be Islamofascist nukes.
