So who'd you vote for today?

[Sematary]

Even though he was only available as a write-in, I ended up voting for Chuck Baldwin. I wouldn't have voted for Barr, even if he was on the ballot in Ct. and there is no way in hell I'd vote for Nader.

Fortunately, Chuck DID fill in the write-in paperwork for Ct. so the vote will be counted. :D

[DeadtoSin]

Sematary, my voting place uses electronic voting machines, so I was wondering how I do a write-in vote? Do I have to request a paper form from someone working there?

[hellah10]

I wrote in Ron Paul :)

They will have the candidates listed and then below those it will have a selection for "write in".

You click on it and it'll bring up a keyboard on the screen.

I used to always write my own name in for offices that I didn't want to vote for either candidate using the electronic machine.

Thanks Elwar!

I wrote in Ron Paul :)Ditto, but as a non-counting protest vote so that 4 years from now I can say, "Don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul (TM)"

[Kevin_Kennedy]

It was hard to fight the urge to write in Ron Paul, but I did it. I went with Bob Barr.

+1 I dont feel good about it though :(

[A. Havnes]

Let's keep this thread going all day. I'll be voting for Baldwin, so I'll let you guys know how it went when I get back.

[Dorfsmith]

My wife and I just got back from voting for Barr.

[Sematary]

I don't know. We have the optical scanners here so I was able to fill in write-in then write in Chuck Baldwin's name.

[Sematary]

2 votes for McCain?
really?

[Mahkato]

C.B. for me.

[Kevin_Kennedy]

+1 I dont feel good about it though :(

I'm with you. Watching a bunch of Ron Paul videos beforehand probably didn't help. Voting for Robert Owens for Ohio Attorney General made me feel better about the situation though.

[Austin]

I haven't voted yet, but I'll be voting for Bob Barr after school. I'll wait until then to vote in this poll.

[EgwaTlvdatsi]

Already voted. Chuck Baldwin...

[ScottenBurgh]

A friend and I just voted Ronald E. Paul

Florida: Ron Paul +2

[Sematary]

A friend and I just voted Ronald E. Paul

Florida: Ron Paul +2

Will those votes be counted in Florida? It's the only reason I didn't write him in here - the vote would be discarded.

[fedup100]

Baldwin

[RPDelegate]

Voted for Baldwin.

I sure see a lot of people doing write ins. I sure hope you checked to make sure they count in your state.

[brandon]

Almost voted Nader.... but then I went with the RP write in.

[jt8025]

Bob Barr - Only 3rd Party on Ballot. Very hard to get on in GA.

Baldwin, Nader, and McKinney eligible for write-in but I wanted the rest of the country to SEE my two party opposition vote.

I didn't think they would show the write-ins. Hopefully they'll show more than just McCain and Obama votes.

[DanielF17]

Wrote in Chuck Baldwin. He couldn't make the ballot in NY

[Feenix566]

I voted for McCain. I wrote a whole thread a couple weeks ago explaining why.

[parke]

I wrote in Ron Paul. I couldnt bring myself to vote for anybody else... I worked really hard on this campaign. I couldnt vote for Baldwin...

Wasted vote? Im with John Adams..

[MRoCkEd]

not voting

That is a horrible looking ballot system,and to go along with the thread I voted for Barr for reasons unknown other than disdain for mcbama

[nodope0695]

A true Patriot! Go for you.:cool:

Good for you! But beware the hanging chad!

On Diebolds, the option for write ins is on screen, then it lets you type in your choice....

Did that this morning for RON PAUL.

[tnvoter]

Guys writing in Ron Paul is a great gesture, but I wish you'd have voted 3rd party to send a stronger statistical message to the Republican party.

[parke]

Nothing for Obama..

And the GOP called us Democrats. ha!

[liberteebell]

Proudly wrote in RON PAUL. I don't give a damn if it's "officially" counted or not.

I too will have a "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Ron Paul" bumper sticker.

[rajibo]

I voted for Bob Barr. I saw no easy way of writing in a vote, and wasn't about to waste time making a big deal about it. I'll still be able to sleep tonight.

I also voted against 'Bailout' Joe Sestak.

[Spider-Man]

Thanks for the info on Sestak - I wasn't aware he voted for the bailout. I'm so sick of seeing his damn signs everywhere; he seems really popular. So who is running against him? I'll be sure to vote against him as well.

[A. Havnes]

It's now official. I just got back from voting for Chuck Baldwin. I haven't been feeling well at all today, so the process of filling in his name made my stomach a whole lot better.

I'll be on TVU and Livestation tonight trying to get news footage from all over the world, just to see what's going on, so I might post some updates here and there if it gets interesting.

[Sematary]

So what do you thing? Ron Paul will get about 250,000 write-in votes today?

[SirNim]

Wrote in "RON PAUL" because I had to, but with strategery in mind, two other family members voted Chuck Baldwin so that a third party would get some votes out of us. Best of both worlds, really.

[Dary]

So what do you thing? Ron Paul will get about 250,000 write-in votes today?

Good question. Whatever it is though, I bet it breaks a record.

[acptulsa]

What? No 'none of the above' choice for us poor, disadvantaged Oklahomans who only have two double-talking, flip-flopping sellouts on our ballots?

[salinaspaul]

My wife and I voted for Baldwin in early voting last week.

Just voted Barr... Wrote in myself a few times where there was no Republicans or Libertarians running... I thought Baldwin was on the ballot in PA?? Guess not...

[Anthony T]

I accidentally clicked Obama on the poll. :(

[newyearsrevolution08]

wrote in chuck baldwin today myself

[rockandrollsouls]

WOW who are the 8 traitors here? (7 for McCain 1 for Obama...)

there are plenty more that don't vote as well lol...

sad but hey, everyone has an opinion

[jumpyg1258]

I wrote in Ron Paul, I refuse to endorse evil.

[paulitics]

Bob Barr. I agree with most of the libertarian platform, and Barr is nothing close to the two establishment candidates. Of course Baldwin was my second choice. The most important thing was to vote against my scumbag DC incumbant bailout legislators. Everyone needs to vote these guys out.

[No1ButPaul08]

didn't waste the gas

[jumpyg1258]

didn't waste the gas

I would have done the same but since this is more than just a presidential election, it gave me a chance to vote against Donna Edwards who supported the bailout bill.

[pahs1994]

didn't waste the gas

i know where people like you are coming from but not voting kinda makes you invisable. Atleast throw in a 3rd party or even a write in. Even if they don't count the write in. I dunno i would atleast vote dude.
Plus there are many other things to vote for besides president. Local offices are important too.

[A. Havnes]

Wouldn't that be just awesome if a third party candidate actually started taking the majority of the votes? It won't happen, but I could just see the final countdown!

[acptulsa]

I got to vote against a bailout voter, for two liberty candidates (state senate and county commission), against some bad judges and for a couple of good ones, for a couple of initiatives that allow a little more freedom and against a couple of new taxes.

Who cares that I could not, in good conscience, make a mark at the top of the card? Worth the gas--especially at $2.009!

[pahs1994]

My mother votes democrat every year. She wrote in Hillary today. I tried getting her to vote Barr or Baldwin for the last few months, but hey atleast its a non vote for McCain/Obama

[Cap'n Crunk]

Baldwin

[parke]

I dont know.. but it looks like Baldwin may get a few also.

[georgiaboy]

My wife and I just got back from voting for Barr.

same.

[gls]

wrote in Baldwin/Castle here in CT...I had to write really small since they only gave me about 1" X 1" to do it.

[ChickenHawk]

Considered Baldwin but ended up leaving the Presidential portion of the ballot blank. Didn't make up my mind what I was going to do until the second I walked out of the voting booth.

[ihsv]

Baldwin. I voted for a handful of other city-council-type people whose positions I knew. If I didn't know the candidate's positions, I left that block blank.

[Liberty]

Wrote in Ron Paul.

[kaleidoscope eyes]

I may get grief, but I'll gladly take it, wrote in Ron Paul. My hubs voted Barr, so, at least a 3rd party candidate got some representation.

[heavenlyboy34]

+.5 Voting is basically a waste of time, but it can be kinda fun. The initiatives are much more relevant than the partisan ballot to me.

[Pepsi]

Voted for Chuck Baldwin, since Ron Paul is not on the ballot or an write-in here in Idaho..

[SnappleLlama]

Still haven't voted, but I'm heading to the polls after work!

[mrchubbs]

I voted for liberty.

See my signature.


Enjoy.

I am happy to hear this. :)

You won't regret voting for Chuck, he will make a fine president. :D
