Filled out my ballot yesterday. We always have a lot to vote on in California. Eleven statewide propositions, and many counties have local propositions.

Was happy and proud to vote for Gary Johnson, the best-qualified candidate to ever run on the Libertarian ticket for president.

Mailing it today.

Oh - and it's nice to vote at home and not have some poll worker stop me before I leave just to give me an "I Voted" sticker that I would promptly toss in the garbage.

Wow - I cannot believe that you did not vote for Obama.

If I lived in a swing state, I probably would have, but I find myself siding with libertarian views more and more on both social and economic issues. Plus, the Democrats and Republicans have plenty of power.

If you live in a state that's considered safe for either Obama or Romney, you have a great opportunity to vote on principle, rather than feeling like it's a choice between the lesser of two evils.

I went to City Hall and voted early today. I'm not young and I have a bad heart. If I died on November 5th without voting for President Obama I'd have to come back and haunt the polling place.

Yep, me too. Besides, my local precinct is just a few blocks from my apartment; to vote early, I'd have to travel across town to City Hall.

I will be voting tomorrow. Hopefully I can do my part to help turn North Carolina red. I voted for Obama in 2008, and I will not be doing so this time around. Romney all the way!

Florida is going red.

We know you're voting for Obama. He's black.

If you can vote early in Ohio and you want to vote for President Obama, VOTE EARLY because Romney's son owns the voting machines in Ohio and who knows if votes cast in those machines will be counted honestly.
