From the snowy state of Colorado, turned in my ballot this morning.

I might be getting old, but this is the first time I felt like my vote meant something to me.

I voted Saturday, while fairly drunk. I was doing a walkabout from my place into downtown with a backpack cooler full of beer. As I passed the downtown library after crossing the river (one of my usual stopping points for people watching on these activities) I stopped in to see if I could get in to use the bathroom. The guard at the door asked, "Are you here to vote?".... "Sure" I responded so he let me in. After relieving myself in the bathroom I wandered over to the voting room. 

I was the only person there besides the staff. I voted, hit the bathroom again (I was at least 8 beers in at this point) wandered off and smoked a spliff to celebrate.

I'm glad that it means something to you, but, since you live in Colorado, it means very little elsewise (at least the presidential election).

It blows my mind that we still have an electoral college. Since I've been of voting age, I've lived in Washington, Texas, and California. My vote for the leader of the free world has never mattered even the tiniest bit.

Hopefully Ohio and Florida enjoy picking our leader again.

You mean Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Ohio.  As usual. 

And Colorado does have a Senate race on the ballot.  So the vote does matter.

If you live in Austin and can't be troubled to vote in 2020, rethink that.  I don't give a shit about the top or middle of your ticket.  But these two ballot propositions are way too fucking big and important to sit on the sidelines for.  Write-In Urban Meyer for POTUS, but take a stand one way or the other on the Props A & B.  I can live with the Electoral College deciding the President but it's fucking-a insane to have the same handful of Austinites deciding seriously important transportation and debt crap like this every 2-4 years.  We really need bigger turnout in the region on A&B.

You’re thinking of “Dead Dog Votes Twice” from Chicago.  This is “Live Dogs Vote Twice.”   
 

though I see from their stickers, unlike My friend Baxter here, neither dog speaks Spanish

They understand “no”...sometimes.

Floridian here.    Took our ballots directly to the Supervisor of Elections last week.  They put them in the ballot box behind the glass so at least we avoided any mail shenanigans.

But did you go out after casting to your ballot to that place with the mozzarella sticks and all the goofy shit on the walls?

Florida has plenty of other shenanigans.

I just moved into an LTD so apparently I can’t vote on the Props since I don’t pay city taxes now.

edit: but I still voted, Super pumped about the railroad commissioner race!

I don't know, is it political if no one is saying who they voted for or why? Which, so far, no one has. Like many others, I don't step foot in the cloak room.

No question about it.   I'm still not confident about my vote actually being counted but I did what I was supposed to do

I voted.  I voted for fitlump.  You're welcome.

 

 

Just kidding she's not in my district.  But she's in my brother's district, so I told him to do it for America.
