The 'I voted' thread.

[Ronnie]

I just cast a provisional ballot (straight D) because I forgot to take my name off the VBM list.  D'oh.  Anyway, the line was much longer than I expected, especially since I live in a super safe district in a super safe state.  I have a feeling turnout is going to be crazy high this year.

[Crumpets]

Voted by mail a few weeks ago. I voted Jayapal for WA-7, although I'd really be fine with either candidate.

[Hammy]

Voted Clinton and Barksdale, everything else straight R because the Dems failed to field a candidate for local/statewide races (and I don't like leaving any part of the ballot blank.)

[izixs]

Voted a couple weeks back. Straight dem (including the 'non-partisan' offices because its easy to look up what way folks lean). Intentionally skipped the some 15 offices without competitive races as they were all uncontested republicans.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Just voted for Hillary and straight D down ballot.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Mailed in my ballot last week. Voted Johnson for president, Harris for Senate, and Dems downballot.

[Storebought]

I voted last Friday. It was the first election I participated in since coming to TX -- twelve years ago.

[Kleine Scheiße]

US President: Donald Trump (R)
US Senator: Pat Toomey (R)
US Congress: Christina Hartman (D)
State Treasurer: Otto Voit (R)
Attorney General: Josh Shapiro (D)
Auditor General: Write-In: Mark Briner (D)
PA Representative: Write-In: David Brown (I)
Ballot Question: Yes

Turnout at my precinct was very light when I voted around noon, there was a small line for the voting machines but none for the paper ballots.

EDIT JULY 19 2019: This was stupid. I did NOT vote for Donald Trump.

[angus]

Just voted for Hillary and straight D down ballot. Voted no on mandatory retirements for judges at age 75 (who puts crap like that on the ballot? That's blatant ageism. There's probably lots of judges over 75 sharper than those aged 65).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you may have missed the point.  The current retirement age is 70.  It is mandatory that they retire "...at the end of the calendar year during which they reach their 70th birthday."  This referendum seeks to raise the mandatory retirement age to 75.  If you feel that mandatory retirement age represents unfair ageism, and if you think that they can be effective beyond 70, then you might want to vote Yes on that question.

[Devout Centrist]

Just voted with my 5 year old kid.  It was quite crowed.   I have no idea if that was high or low since I always vote at 6AM so I do not know what a 9AM voting pattern should look like.   Despite the fact that Trump clearly have very little support where I live it seems the Trump campaign is a lot more organized at this polling station than the Clinton campaign.  Voted Trump over my kid's objection.  He wanted me to vote write-in Marco Rubio and if that was not possible then Clinton.   

Wow.

LOL. I guess that's what being uniformed about your ballot gets you.

[Del Tachi]

Voted for Clinton/Kaine.  GOP for Congress and local races.

Turnout seemed high at my precinct, and its heavily African-American.

The amendment, if passed, actually raises the current forcible retirement age of 70.

[bagelman]

Voted Clinton, Portman, Joyce, and Weinstein. It's reported that lines are long in heavily AA Akron

[Blue3]

Here in Rhode Island, turnout is unusually high, and we have new voting machines and they only placed 1 in my polling place! Usually under 15 minutes, today almost 2 hours, and the line is still growing!

[7,052,770]

More Mississippi anecdotal evidence: lines were much longer than in 2012 at my precinct. And the difference was driven by black people. My precinct is mostly white, but you wouldn't have known that this morning

[BuckeyeNut]

Straight (D) ticket back on October 13th.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I was the 400th voter at my precinct here in Millersville, PA. I considered voting straight Dem, but I figured that wouldn't be as fun, so I voted for Kristin Combs for Treasurer and John Sweeney for Auditor General. Both are Green Party members.

I happily voted for Katie McGinty, however. Sorry, Phil.

Voted Straight Republican except for Johnson/Weld(L). Voted No on putting 2 new gambling casino's in Northern NJ(basically that's where they would be) and voted Yes on the gas tax to make sure it stays in the transportation trust fund.

[hopper]

I voted early in Texas.
Clinton for President. First time ever voting Dem for President.
