Please take note that a special voting day has been reserved for republicans...you should come to the polls on wednesday.



"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

It was done to prevent fistfights at poling places, right?

Been doing that for years!
Why in the heck does anyone go to the booth?

First time absentee voter here. Mailed it last week. But going to the poles is still a good experience.

Cummington has paper ballots you mark with an old fashioned pencil. And a big wooden box, one slides the folded ballot into a slot and the attendant turns a crank to pull it in.

I volunteered to count the votes once, there were a couple tables and four of us at each, in teams of two. One would open the ballot, announce the vote and the other would double check to make sure it was right.

It may seem old fashioned but it works.
Once, in this town, when my old girlfriend was going to join a town committee, she couldn't get togethere with the town clerk to be sworn in for the first meeting. So when she called the clerk, the clerk said-over the phone, now- okay just raise your right hand and repeat after me…



And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.

Are you going to a Strip Joint, or to Vote?
POLL, not POLE.

If you don't know the candidates, and the issues, don't bother voting.

. . . or if you're a Democrat, but that's the same thing, right?
