Straight ticket voting warning

Calling all Democrats!!!!!

Beware--your vote for president might not count, depending on where you live, if you don't vote for that first:

Okay, okay--Republicans, you be careful, too!

Huh - And I'd pretty much written off all the reported voting machine problems to paranoia.

Well, I guess a stopped clock is still right twice a day and all :)

I don't have a straight ticket option on my ballot, but I agree that people should actually be reading about who/what they're voting for first, not just going in and voting blind party line, that being said, somehow all of my little bubbles were colored in for democrats :rolleyes: Hey, I researched first!

I stay within my party the vast majority of the time, but if I don't know about an issue or the candidates for something, I won't register a vote for or against or for any of the candidates. Still, I thought posting this would be helpful to some.

Thanks for posting it, Arrow! I'm sure it will save some from negating their own vote... now if only we could pick and choose who........J/K :innocent:
