I signed up for mail-in ballots and had mine submitted last week. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that 68% of our county voted early! Two years ago, the machines failed, so I had to wait in line for 5 hours to vote. After the 3rd hour, there was no way I was leaving!

Not only did I rock the vote, I rocked it HARD! I sent in my early ballot weeks ago and have been sporting my candidate's T-shirt all day. I haven't felt a buzz in the air like this in all my years as a voter (well, I'm only 32) but I'm excited today, scared today, and ever-so-hopeful!

Voter here! Dressed in my red, white and blue and at the polling place in time to hear the rather inspiring (to me at least) oath of the poll workers to help us all carry out our civic duty.

Karie said...

I voted by absentee ballot and totally avoided any lines. Yea!

Unknown said...

I did my part and voted today, although I wish I could vote to dispel the electoral college. What a crock! Oh, and I received my three adorable diaries this weekend and I'm smitten! Thanks, Marta!

Em said...

oh mart. you may regret having said you'd give all these ladies a mini diary! I am voting tonight (I am sure the line with be FOREVER long) I love your mini diaries, but don't feel the pressure to send me one. I know you'll have your hands full...

Elisabeth said...

I voted! I'm excited.

Done and done -- two weeks ago! The Oregon mail-in ballots are the best. You can take your time, think about everything carefully and no standing in line.

What an exciting day! I cast my ballot on my lunch break and am now proudly wearing my "I Voted" sticker.

Kate said...

Such an exciting day! I voted early and volunteered today :)

Salty Incisor said...

I voted!! (waited and hour with a two year old in hot hot polling place) I miss the punch ballots!!!!
It may cancel out your vote I am guessing but what the heck I love your sweet mini diaries! You are an inspiration!!

Andrea said...

I'm really proud to say that I voted (absentee) and I checked this morning and my ballot was received. :)

Leslie said...

I took my new infant and my 3-year-old with me to vote. We all rocked the vote.

tarable said...

Last time I voted it was with three kids under 4. I finally ordered an early ballot, but then never mailed it. I had my husband drop it off today when he voted. It still counts!

Thanks for the chance to win one of your adorable mini-diaries. Maybe it will get me to write something in my own hand.

Emily said...

I am glad for the privilege to vote! Voted via absentee. Thanks!

Rolled my big double stroller into the polling place bright and early this morning. I always vote, but I was EXTRA psyched to do it today. I'll be up all night watching the results come in, I'm sure. Your mini diaries are awesome.

Molly said...

YES I rocked the vote... and it was not easy... racing in and out of the rain to be told I needed a utility bill because the address on my license was different? what? Back home and back to the polls again! Did I mention it was pouring? Vote... check.

Unknown said...

I'm not allowed to vote as I'm not an American citizen, but I'd love a diary! :)

tara said...

i voted :)

the two girls said...

Yes I voted. Took my 4 year old daughter with me so she could see me vote for "Mobama". I don't think she was that impressed with the actual 30 seconds it took me to vote after all the build up.

Not only did I vote.. I did it early!

This time around, I'm finally old enough.
Today, I took part in my first-ever presidential election.
I VOTED!

I have always been so apathetic about politics, but today, for the first time, I was excited about voting. So thrilling to see the presidential nominees' names come up on my touch screen this morning. Hooray!

I voted (and picked up a marriage license) last week. We went back to the court house today (election day) to turn in our marriage license and so we could feel a part of the "action" at the live polls even though our votes had already been cast!
