  I always vote.  Never missed a single one.  I get a mailed absentee ballots so I really have no excuse.  I don't even have to go in to a polling place, I can just mail it. If I forget to mail it, I can fill it out and drop it off at any polling place.

  I'm kind of a "no excuses" kind of girl in this regard. I'm sure there are valid excuses but you'll never get a "no biggie" response from me if you tell me you didn't vote.

  Also was it just my family or did anyone else's parents make a big deal about coming with them and getting to pull the lever? Voting was a special, exciting thing growing up. I always bring the boys even though it is super annoying right now!

  I voted.  Actually felt like a bit of a supermom voter- Nora in the carrier, Bennett in the stroller and no meltdowns (granted- start to finish, the whole process was about 10 minutes - but still).  

   

  Bennett Andrew- 6/4/13      Nora Elizabeth - 10/3/14

  @pitchslap that is just so ridiculous it's funny.

  I actually am really upset about this election because I realized after the fact that the bottle bill, which I supported but lost, was totally a sneakily bought win by lobbyists. After I saw the measure won, I vaguely remembered that someone came door to door and asked me to sign something opposing the bottle bill. The person said they were with some type of environmental group, it wasn't a PIRG because I always remember that because DH used to work for Calpirg and I thought at the time, "that sounded fishy. Why would an environmental org oppose a bottle bill?" I was frazzled with the kids and I never followed up. Turns out it was some lobbyists org that got some BS earthy name and hired young people to basically trick voters. I am so fvcking angry when shit like that happens.
