I research the other box. I prefer my ability to procreate.

I don't have testicles, so I'm not too concerned. And honestly, even if I did...I don't want to make babies, so I don't think they'd be much of a loss...

I think I have a fair reason for calling people stupid. I mean, why vote JUST for something in which your -1- vote doesn't mean a whole lot? I mean, your pick might win a Popular vote, but that means nothing against the electoral college. I know that, but a lot of people don't seem too. I am also bothered by the fact that they would announce this aloud to poll workers. If that's what you're going to do, fine, but you don't need to tell everyone that. I should be very obvious that if you're not comfortable voting for someone, then just don't mark it. What are they going to do to you? And it would be pretty unfair if it voided your ballot.

In a local/state election, I know my vote will actually account for someone, and I voted the incumbent, whom I've had no problem with the way she's running things as it goes.

Lets not turn this into an internet argument...I'm not going to say anything else on the matter, but if someone else wants to continue to duke out about it, they are welcome to, but I am done.

I voted this afternoon, sticker and all! We left work early, because the boy and I are still registered at our parents' addresses so we had to do some driving around. A lady working at the polling station turned to me right after I got my paper and card, and said "Is this your first time voting?!?!" which is wasn't. I think she might have thought I was my little sister.
I know we're trying not to talk about what we voted, but there seems to be a bit of a conversation about this one - I live in Maryland too, and I voted 'yes' for Question 2, mostly for selfish reasons: if it passes, our company will probably get some big-money contracts as a direct result (we'll be pointing lights at them).

(Mostly by seeing who was endorsed by the Chicago papers and seeing who I disagreed with.) I didn't get a sticker; I got a little piece of paper that says "Chicago Board of Election Commissioners BALLOT RECEIPT NOVEMBER 4, 2008 GENERAL ELECTION  THANK YOU FOR VOTING!"

Woo, voting!

--- End quote ---

Me, I knew nothing about the vast majority of the people on the ballot, so I only voted for the couple people I actually knew I supported (basically President and Senators) and left the rest blank.

Voting was incredibly convenient for me, because my polling place is literally across the street, and I don't work during the day on Tuesdays.  My fiancee was really concerned that there would be a long wait, but when I strolled in it was just me and like 30 volunteers working at the polling place.
