I just did. However, they messed up my change of address form and I had to fill out a "Provisional Ballot" because my name was neither on the list at my new polling station or my old polling station.
Even though I called the number and received instructions on where to go and what to do, I'll bet $20 that they throw out my ballot.
PISS ME OFF.

I just farted.
My 2 cents: 87 - alternate energy, and H - afforable housing ARE worth farting for.

I'm about to vote. I'm trying to hold back a fart right now because it might turn to shit. Funny that both actions will have the same result no matter my effort.

i rode home at lunch to vote to find they changed my polling place - again. this is my third polling place in as many elections with no notice. makes me think they're trying to make it hard for people to vote...

"Provisional ballots" SUCK!
I ran into the same problem. I went to the polling place I had used last year, and they didn't have me on the record this year. They play musical chairs with the precinct locations, it seems.
Anyway, I refused the provisional ballot, and opted to ride around the around the corner to another polling place that I knew of. Sure enough, my name WAS listed there.
They don't make it easy to vote in this country. So many hurdles...

I did several weeks ago by absentee ballot, before the propaganda ads deluge.
When you get your sample ballot a month before the election, fill out the form on the back requesting an absentee ballot.
I read somewhere that it's the law you can vote by absentee ballot whether you're out of town or not.
Much easier that way.

After the hassle I had yesterday, I plan on voting by absentee ballot from now on.

I always vote by absentee. It's so much easier. Unfortunately I forgot to mail it in this year and had to take it to the polling place yesterday. I just like the idea of having a paper ballot that that can be recounted if necessary.

Anarchy? Sheesh, you don't mean that type of radical thinking that promotes autonomy, self reliance, free expression, and causes people to freely follow their desires, ride their bikes, get loaded, and have a damn good time?
I'm in...

man oh man... I was at an election party watching the races so to speak and herbalizing... everybody giddy about the results. how highlarious it was to watch FOX news. they did not show one democratic celebration party the entire time. in fact they didnt show a single shot of any winners except for Arnold's party. I mean these talking heads on FOX I've never seen them so depressed. the graphics and mood of the coverage were so bland and lifeless. I hope they are all ok over there. I really felt for them. seemingly suicidal that william kristol neoconazi was just writhing in pain. oh man... I've never laughed so hard at depressed people!
