I forgot to mention who I voted for. Of course I wrote in Smiling Joe.

I think SJ would make a great president....:clap:

I just voted this morning around 9:45 a.m. and there were quite a few people doing the same. This is very exciting!

I DID NOT appreciate being called to by candidates (or their representatives) in the parking lot. As if I am going to change my mind out there in the parking lot.....

I feel this way even though the "greetings" were from representatives of candidates that I planned on voting for anyway. I know there are laws that allow no campaigning within a certain distance of the polling place, but I was surprised how I was more or less "forced to run the gauntlet" - as Skunky stated - in order to get in the door to vote. I really, REALLY did not like that at all, and smart candidates would make sure that their representatives are respectful and do not "shout out" to people going in to vote.

My $.02.

Are the candidate representatives yelling at everybody, or just those going in the big double doors in the center?

Parking at one of the ends and coming in either the north door (our end of the building) or the south door (planning department) might help. I would hate to think they are politicking ALL of our customers. Maybe that's why it's been slowish this week. :confused:

They left me alone butI was limping and haven't shaved in a week. I might've looked unworthy of last minute indoctrination.

They are yelling at voters? Not so bueno IMO! :blink:

Probably not so much yelling, as loudly calling out and holding up signs.

I am only guessing, because they don't try to get our attention when we go out and come back in. For all I know, they could be as quiet as churchmice.

I was there standing by my Thurston and Kazek signs as quite as a mouse. I would only wave and wish folks a nice day unless they asked for me to comment. I will say the other 2 Fire Board candidates were quite boisterous. I did not feel they were rude but I watched people and there were some who appeared they wanted to be left alone. Overall I thought things were quite pleasant.

VOTE, Kasek and Thurston.

Mr. Clean & I voted last Wednesday at 8:30am, parked close to the door & it took about 30 minutes due to the line. All in all, it was easy.:clap:

Voted today. The tally counter on the SoWal machine showed '1833.'

I voted early this morning. 3 minute wait. Worker told me about 6000 had already voted and usually only about 2000 vote on any given election. Anybody think, this may be a landslide for Obama? Maybe not in Walton County though.

I voted!

The only person campaigning who yelled at me was a fellow Sowaller! :rofl:

There was a line, but it still took less than 10 minutes!

If they are republicans, like I am, tell them that there is no need to rush as the voting for us has been extended to Wednesday.

Can you still vote early on Monday?

So I heard that you cannot vote early the day before the election, is this true? I'd like to avoid the lines on Tuesday.
