Voting Booth Portraits

I voted for... (0.00 / 0)

I voted for LoBiondo for Congress, Zimmerman & Simmons for Freeholder, Hale & Weeks for council, and tried to vote twice for Public Question One.

While Zimmerman and Simmons were catching flack for their cancer mailer, it's not a reason for me to vote Republican.  Zimmerman gets my support because I really want someone with a law enforcement background to be on the Gloucester County Freeholder board.  If he wins, I just hope he doesn't forget the average joe's that he's worked with as a cop over the years.

Hale and Weeks are the only two (of four) Democrats on borough council that I can enthusiastically endorse.  The local GOP has proposed doing things that these two Dems have already done.

No Vote by Mail for me (4.00 / 1)

We make voting a big deal at our house. Always vote together, always have our little rituals. OMG I'm a voting fetishist.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

heh..... (0.00 / 0)

my ballot is highly unorthodox, given my personal involvement, both directly and indirectly in a few of these races.

Let's just say that I left 2 races blank due to not liking one candidate and not liking what the other one did with respect to trying to keep anyone from running for Congress.

And let's just say that where there was a race I could vote for 3 people (out of 8 candidates), I voted for one Indy (go Camille!), one Republican and one Democrat (the newbie).

And once more, let's just say that on one "big" race, I went with the Green Party because (1) that candidate is closest to my views, (2) the incumbent is someone I've fought to unseat my entire NJ life and (3) the main challenger did more to lose my vote than I can even begin to describe.

But then again, living where I do, it's an odd ballot this time around....

Scott Garrett - on the wrong side of, well, everything.

It would help if the machine worked... (0.00 / 0)

I'd have gladly posted a pic after attempting to vote early this morning but the voting machine in my area wasn't working, forcing me to return after work this evening. I do wonder sometimes why this country can't get something as simple as running elections right (e.g. the ballot fiasco in New York). I also vote, as a dual citizen, in another country's presidential elections and have never had any trouble whatsoever. Sigh. Off to face the lines tonight.

Definitely... (0.00 / 0)

I most definitely did. They sent for a new machine which is working so I should be able to vote this evening. But I was PO'd. What about those people who work late and whose only opportunity to vote is first thing in the morning? Why is it that in this so-called developed country voting is simply so fraught with confusion and problems? The cynic in me attributes it to a disinterest in enfranchising and empowering the electorate. Of course, it could be worse. We could be in New York. ;-)
