So you're voting the person, not the party. Each party's platform ain't going to change in the next two weeks.

I agree the platform isn't goign to change in the next two weks. Loking at their voting record and bils they sponsred is more proof of their politics than what they say they are going to do.

A lot of people don't vote in the same town they live in. Especially people who are filing absentee votes. I voted at a site near my church. It's 16 miles from where I live.

I already voted, I'm working as a poll watcher on election day. Those of you who "like the human drama" of election day must live in mid to upper income areas with plenty of polling stations and machines that work! I can tell you that in many parts of the south that is not the case in many minority precincts. Come to think of it scratch the word "south" from that last line, add in OH and some other "norther" states.

One thing I do like about CO, I guess it's statewide, but in my county at least anyone can vote at any voting station. And there are plenty of them. Both parties have estimated that at least 1/2 of the voters will cast their ballots (mail or early) prior to "E" day.

BS!! the reason so many areas have problems with not enough machines is because they have people who are not able to do the job they got elected to do. That is not anyone's fault except the idiots who elect them. Then, you can add the fact that poorer areas of the country have less money to spend on the machines and such. Maybe if the people in those areas would get off their butts and get a job and work they could then afford some more machines. Just a thought. I am just sayin.....

No and that is amazing since people would have known people when they registered probably. Pretty dumb government officials to not have picked up more people registered then lived there. Notice readers the poster never said it happened only asked if you heard and with a resounding NOOOOOO was the reply.
