I Voted Stickers!!! Get ready!

[SandEagle]

still deciding whether i want to vote or not. i may just do it tomorrow.

Makes it easy to point out the people to blame for the BS we end up with.

Yes... those without stickers (ie those who did not vote). Inevitably the same people who will bitch and complain the most.

i went to vote at 11.. 2hr line. left and will try again at 4.

2008 i waited maybe 5 min. either i picked a bad time or voter turnout is many times higher this year. judging everyone in line, i'm guessing they were obama supporters.

i assume everyone is voting after work like i am

I guess public schools just dont teach history any more.


You do realize this is the only country in the world with a general election where people not only choose to avoid voting, but actually brag about it?

Wearing mine! Its a sticker, who cares. If I go around spouting my opinions and telling you who to vote for, sure, but i'm just wearing a sticker that says I voted...

 

[Corporate Thug]

Get ready for your coworkers to wear their "I Voted" stickers today.

Passive aggressive nerds...

How does wearing a sticker make someone passive aggressive?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

We have vote by mail, so I've never even seen an "I Voted" sticker. Middle America is so charming in a bizarre way.

 

[IronWing]

I voted. I also met one of the Congressional candidates outside the polls. I think she likes me.

 

[Exterous]

I'm just glad the fracking phone calls and ads will stop.

:thumbsup: I can't wait for tomorrow - its going to be like an effing holiday. No more commercial spots jam packed with campaign ads, no more flyers on my door to throw away, so much less junk mail....

 

[Thump553]

I fail to see why doing a very minor act of civic duty equates to "passive aggresive nerds." Please explain.

<---proudly wearing his sticker now.

 

[GeekDrew]

people in your state need all the help with voting they can get.

/me glares

Translated, " I'm to friggin lazy to go and vote so I'm annoyed by the stickers, oh yea, I'm gonna complain about everything after the election"..

Someone doesn't understand the electoral college and the reason for its existence.


Don't worry - your state is one of a handful that believes we should have a direct public majority-decided election. (wait, are you in Cali? I thought your location said you were, perhaps at some point, because it doesn't say a location now).

Once enough states (however many it takes to represent 270 electoral voters) pass the same law (just under halfway there at this point in time), we'll move away from the electoral college. :\


edit:
oh and I've never actually worn that sticker after voting.

 

[fatpat268]

Didn't vote here. Why? Because I don't care who wins the election. Regardless of who's president, nothing really changes.

It's a pretty flimsy reason.

someone does not understand trolling
and no i dont live in cali, never have, hopefully never will

 

[shortylickens]

The reason for the electoral college is to limit the public citizens power and give it all to handful of rich slaver landowning whites.

The sooner america wakes up and demands something better, the happier we will all be.

Voted 2 blocks away from the house. Was 3rd in line by the boot at about 12:10 pm. Lady told there was a lot more earlier. Did the electronic vs. written voting that had 13 pages for President, Judges (retain/kick out), etc. Waited for the pages to printout and confirmed my votes. Returned the electronic card and was given a "I voted!" sticker.

 

[edro]

I voted @ 6:30am on my way to work.
I vote at a tiny precinct in the middle of nowhere.
I was there with 1 other guy and the 4 80yo poll worker ladies.

People who wear their "I Voted" stickers are the same people who wear their blood donor band-aid all day.

 

[mcurphy]

My wife and I voted at 7:45am today, and we were voters #124 & #125 in our small town. Looks like we'll have a good turn out, and I think I heard the state of WI is expected to see over 80% of registered voters. No stickers given out at our polling place.

Haha, we have those too.

I was going to post in this thread to the person who made the comment that we are the only country with a general election where people don't vote and brag about it.

Can you guess what my comment was going to be, how it applies to your post, and why its probably good for the rest of us that they dont?

Honestly, I couldn't give a shit what you think about me and other people who don't vote.

I don't vote because my vote doesn't elect the president.
I don't vote because my state is already pre-decided to be republican.
I don't vote for the president because regardless of candidate, nothing will immediately change.

However, I do vote in local elections for local officials where my vote actually counts, and I'm voting for officials who directly impact my way of life. But anything on a national scale? Who the hell cares? Regardless of who I vote for, they think along party lines and don't think for themselves, so why should I care?

If you really want to make a difference, people should be voting for their city councils/mayors/sheriffs/judges/etc.

I'm not bragging that I didn't vote, I'm just merely pointing out that bragging that you did vote is kinda stupid.
