WA-5 Representative: Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R)
Initiative 1351: YES
Initiative 591: NO
Initiative 594: YES
Local Elections: Mostly Republicans, although I did vote a Libertarian State Representative.

If I could vote, they're in my signature. Local offices It would all be Republicans since they're completely unopposed.

I'll vote early next Saturday, but I plan to vote for Republican James Lankford for Tom Coburn's seat, but I'll vote for Matt Silverstein (D) over Jim Inhofe.  I'll vote for Democrat Joe Dorman for Governor, Lt Governor Todd Lamb (R) to retain his seat, and Democrat John Cox for State Superintendent of Education.  My Congressman Jim Bridenstine (R-OK-1) is unopposed.

$47 per ballot minus 52 cents per year that you have been a lawfully registered voter.

The additional $5 for a valid ID if one does not have one is offset by a refund offered by the State, although you do have to pay the postage to mail in the forms to get the $5 refund.

Indirectly, as registered voters can get called for horribly underpaid jury duty. But other than that I can't think of any financial reason to not register.

That's not right. That's not right at all.

I'm a College student, and I don't have a lot of extra money.  If I was actually from South Carolina I would have already been registered as I would have an SC license.

Well why aren't you registered in your home state then?
For that matter an ID card from the SCDMV or from the SCSEC is available at zero cost.  It's only the actual driver's license that has a $25 per 10 year cost.  Not that it matters for this election as it's too late to register.

I voted today! Christmas two months early! Cheesy

Secretary of State: Connie Lawson
Auditor of State: Michael Claytor
Treasurer of State: Kelly Mitchell
U.S. Rep, District 1: Mark Leyva
State Senator, District 1: Ken Stevenson
State Rep, District 12: Mara Candelaria Reardon (incumbent)
County Sheriff: Dan Bursac
County Assessor: Jolie A. Covaciu
County Council, District 4: Daniel E. Dernulc (incumbent)
North Township Board Member: Michael Mitchell, Joseph Uzubell (only selected 2 of 3 given votes)
School Town of Munster at large: Sheryl Georgas, Melissa J. Higgason (non partisan)
The offices for Prosecuting Attorney (31st Circuit), Clerk of the Circuit Court, County Auditor, and County Treasurer were not competitive, and thus I had to vote straight Democratic for them.

9 R - 6 D - 2 Non partisan. I skipped voting for judges because I hadn't researched them (Ballotpedia showed me a much shorter ballot than the 7 page one I was given) Sad

I like your bipartisan ballot. Smiley  It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't vote straight one party.  Kudos!

No, since there is only school board elections that year, and both President and school board members are unopposed. Sadly.

Should vote in 2015 (federal), 2017 (municipal and school boards) and 2018 (provincial).

Yeah, I probably should have got an absentee ballot.  Also, the instructions that my College sent out for voting were kind of confusing.

Democratic down the ballot.  I just don't trust/question anyone who would actually still identify as a Republican.

I voted straight Democratic, with the exception of my local U.S. representative, state senator, and state assembly member. I voted against them as revenge for their offices not hiring me when i applied/interviewed.

Democracy is a dish best served cold.

Voted for the leftist Europa Anders party ("A different Europe") in the EU elections earlier this year.

And I voted for the Greens in the municipal elections and the Green Party candidate for mayor earlier this year (the ÖVP-candidate won).

Democratic down the ballot.  I just don't trust/question anyone who would actually still identify as a Republican.

Pretty much this.  The Tea Party movement was pretty much the last straw, in a break that was a long time in coming.  I don't think I voted for a single Republican in 2012, and I'll probably continue the tradition.

Who I'll vote for:  Orman for US Senate.  Democrats for US House, Governor, Atty Genl, St Treas, Commissioner of Insurance, and State Rep.

No vote for Sec of State.  The Democrats nominated someone who voted for the gay marriage ban back in 2005.  It's an issue on which I hold a grudge.  If her opponent were someone other than Kobach, I might have actually considered voting Republican.

In the County Commissioner's (non-partisan) race, I was undecided.  But one of the candidates put involvement in the Boy Scouts on his resume, so that was my deciding factor, since I will probably never forgive them for James Dale.  (Seriously.  I was in my late 20's when the Boy Scouts fought all the way to the Supreme Court for the right to discriminate against gays, and yet they continued to be embraced by all segments of "mainstream" society.  I find it hard to think of a single incident that soured me more on American culture than that one.)

But enough of my rant.  Coming back to the original question, I plan on voting on election day.

Governor: Rick Scott (R)
Representative (FL-22): Writing in Baba Booey.
Attorney General: Pam Bondi (R)
Chief Financial Officer: Jeff Atwater (R)
Agriculture Commissioner: Adam Putnam (R)
State Senator (District 34): Maria Sachs (D)
State Representative (District 89): Bill Hager (R)
County Commission (District 4): Steven Abrams (R)
Retain Judge Alan Forst: No
Retain Judge Mark Klingensmith: No
Retain Judge Matthew Stevenson: No
Retain Judge Martha Warner: No
School Board District 4: Tom Sutterfield (R)
Soil and Water Board Group 5: Karl Dickey (L)
Amendment 1 (Fund Conservation Efforts): No
Amendment 2 (Medical Marijuana legalization): Yes
Amendment 3 (Allow Governor to fill Judicial vacancies): No
County Question 1 (Reauthorize Childrens Services Council): Yes
County Question 2 (Ad Valorem Levy for schools): No

Dickey is the only other candidate running for soil and water board and is a well known libertarian leader in Palm Beach County. I met him when he hosted Gary Johnson back in 2012. Lois Frankel has been a pleasantly moderate Congresswoman, and judging by the district, she could have been more liberal than she has been. But I can’t vote for her or her opponent Paul Spain (who has no chance anyway). Voting for Sachs because Ellyn Bogdanoff is the Bachmann of Palm Beach County, she ran a dirty campaign in 2010 against Carl Domino, and finally, her husband sued my dad a long while back.
