Done Voted

[rolanni]

The cats, of course, had early cast Absentee Cat Ballots. This was, I note, Hexapuma's first year voting in the homeland. Steve was at the polls when they opened, and reports that his was the sixteenth ballot submitted; mine, at 3:20, was number 1528.

Reports are that voting is brisk all over the state, and that's with half the people (and cats) that I know having voted early. I'm hoping that the churches aren't busing in dead people across state lines, which would be an Unworthy Thought if both of the Catholic Churches in Waterville didn't have "VOTE YES ON ONE"* signs fifteen deep on their lawns.

At the day-job, yet more data entry, and the smoke from a turf war singeing a perfectly nice poster. More data entry waiting on the desk for tomorrow. Prime the pump, I guess.

I'm going to wash me some dishes, straighten the house and not listen to the radio.

*YES ON ONE reverses the standing Maine law allowing couples of the same sex to marry. The actual question below:

QUESTION 1: People's Veto

An Act To End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom

"Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?"

I was voter #24 at my precinct this morning, with only three things on the ballot. One was a school millage, which I voted in favor of, despite phone messages telling me not to. If nothing else, at least I canceled out one of the folks who automatically vote against anything that might raise their taxes no matter how important it is. And I have this silly notion that education is important.

The other two regarded changing the city charter to allow public notices to be posted on their webpage instead of in the (now only twice a week instead of daily) newspaper. I was half inclined to vote yes purely on the basis that I'd had phone messages every day for 2 weeks telling me to vote No on them...
