We're living in exciting and historic times, so vote early, vote often! Erik, my advice to you is to color the little circle, lest you find your vote doesn't count.
Polls are tightening as we approach zero hour. Our three states are delivering the largest chunk of delegates. I know, ooooooh.

Pulled the lever for Obama this morning. Hope I'll have another chance to do that in November.
Yay!!! Me too on all counts. This seems like it's going to be a squeaker of a day that won't decide anything.
Although, from polls, it seems like your state and mine both are done deals for the home senators. New York may be a wee bit closer, but IL looks to be a blow out, from what I've seen.
Erik's compatriots out there in the sunshine state, however, will have real power.
In other election-related info, I've been besieged by NARAL mailings and robocalls, although no other issue groups, which is curious. The Women for Obama were also at my train stop. The chicks are mobilized, I say.
i didn't see the top bubble, and so i didn't fill it out. this was after both mia and i were given the wrong ballots (we're both registered independent), because all of the workers at our polling place were deaf. literally. they didn't hear me when i requested a dem ballot. i had to go to the guy who was supervising the polling place. he yelled at them in sign language, and i got the proper ballot. i guess even that wasn't enough.
there was some chatter about this thing on our local NPR affiliate last night, and here's a link to a slate column about it: http://www.slate.com/id/2183790
and, seeing as i threw in for barry, i demand a recount!
What's up with that? Is it a conspiracy? Is it the petty power trips of election workers? Is it stupidity?
My coworker, whom I dropped off at his polling station (doing my part for democracy!), was told that his polling station was moved. He ran home, fetched back his mailer to wag at them, and they finally "found" him on the list. As this was 6:15-6:30, he could have spent til the polls closed hunting down his mysteriously moved polling station.
But you should file a suit. Disenfranchisement!
