Course since he's running against Sheldon Whitehouse, the man who has modeled his whole career after John Laroquette's character on the 80s TV show "Night Court". [:)]

Were I to get in my car in the driveway in North Carolina..and drive to my sister's driveway in Commack L.I. ,New York....why would I need my I.D ? Now I'm not saying I would do so,I could get stopped for speeding and such....but other than my ATM card to get money I rarely have a need to show my I.D.to anyone.

Thinking...... The last time I needed it. Pulled over for a speed warning a couple of weeks ago. But the officer said that 76 in a 55 wasn't excessive and let me go..[8\|] Before that, buying wine in an Iowa City grocery store about 6 months ago. RE: Voting......it looks like Florida is just as fucked up as ever. What is their problem anyway???

JstAnotherSub -> RE: Voted Yet? (11/6/2012 1:00:24 PM)
It took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. They did say that this morning the line was going around the school hallways. My friend who waited in line for an hour or more to do early voting said I owe them a thank you. Since I vote at the school I work at, had the line been long I woulda just gone to my office and worked a bit til it cleared out.

obedientangel -> RE: Voted Yet? (11/6/2012 1:11:13 PM)
Absentee ballot. Done weeks ago. Sign those carefully. They sent mine back to redo because my in-a-hurry-scrawled signature didn't match the original.

quote: ORIGINAL: SternSkipper If you have please drop in here and tell us what it was like at the polls. How big was the line? How long in line. Did you see lots of people you knew? Where in the country are you? Anything relevant to the process you care to share. If you want to blather on about a candidate or a party, start your own thread please. I have as of 7:01 am EST .... And that was a minute into the election.... The line right after I came out was 10 minutes deep ... In 5 elections in this precinct, I have NEVER seen a turnout anywhere near what I am seeing. I took my station as a poll watcher right after that. It's 10ish and there has been no lull. Voted at 1pm in Lawrence, Kansas. No line at the polls. I was voter 339. Which is about twice as high as four years ago. ETA: Lawrence has over 50 (56, I think) polling places and less than 90,000 people. There is really never a wait at the polls, especially since they have more booths now. Although I kind of miss having a curtain to pull.

I voted at UMD. Took me a good 40 mins of waiting.

Years ago I drove to Florida for Christmas. Long story short, my mom asked me how I got to Florida without my DL. Well, got in the car, started it up, here I am. For a brief moment, she understood. Now, anyone can do that. (policeage notwithstanding) Now we see this argument a bit regarding ID. Why should anyone need ID to vote? It's not because one can drive from NC to Fla without an ID that makes it similar to voting without ID. That is not where any similarity is. It is though the similarity of being stopped. Without the DL one is perceived to not be authorized to engage in the act of driving at that moment. The polling station is more akin to the police stop than the mere act of driving. One needs be a citizen to engage in the act of voting. The poll people are the cops. (not looking to derail)

It's been my experience that people with a snow bird home generally don't drive from New England to Florida. Depending on where in Florida, you're talking about somewhere around a 30 hour drive. So, unless they packed all of their food and drove straight through, they most likely used credit cards to eat or have a place to sleep. I don't think it's impossible. I just find it odd.

Driving is not ensconsed as a sacred right of Americans in the constitution, any fucking idiotic shitbreathing agitprop posed as honest allegory for the purposes of trying to avoid repeal of the 24th amendment prohibition of poll tax not withstanding, if you want to make a poll tax (which was legal before the 24th amendment). Repeal the fucking thing.

I took the auto train from near Washington DC to near Orlando FL. I know people who boat up and down, which takes even longer. I know others who have a car at each location. And others who visit people along the drive, making a few days or a week out of the trip.

I pulled into the parking lot at 8:25 and out at 8:35. The parking lot was pretty full but the place was adequately staffed, or perhaps a little overstaffed. As it was my first time voting here (which they'd noted on their rolls) I had to show ID, which consisted of a driver's license that had my old address and a current utility bill with my current address.

Does my avatar say Votes or Voted? I tried changing it twice and cleared my cache but I still see Votes.

tazzygirl -> RE: Voted Yet? (11/6/2012 3:23:54 PM)

Provisioning a boat takes funds, which goes back to using a credit card. If they have a car at each location wouldn't explain transportation between the two points. Even if they stopped and made a visit of it, they still probably would have used their credit cards for something. I'm not saying it's impossible. I just think it's odd.

The only meaningful votes cast in MD, my home state, were about Gay Marriage, in-State tuition rates for illegal immigrants, and to allow or not allow gambling ventures in BALTO. DEMs will sweep all the offices. Turnout looked robust to me but not as crowded as KERRY-BUSH.
