OK, enough postering, and arguing. The time for voting is now, so go out and vote, but only once.
Regardless of party affiliation, go vote.

( Remember republicans vote today, democrats vote next Tuesday)

If you (anybody) don't understand the local ballot issues or don't know who your candidates are, then do everybody in your state and precinct a favor and stay home.

Good point,Sport.

Cynicism and hypocrisy are born early,and if carefully nourished by entitlement become flawless habit

i voted and there were many many uncontested offices with only a republican candidate. They'll win of course but not with my vote.

I voted against everything that raised taxes and for everything that extended tax credits.

When it came for my local US Rep race I was stunned to find that the Libertarians hadn't fielded a candidate in that race. I sure was mistaken on that because I though there was one qualified. Wrong. Instead we had two Demopublicans. Bummer.

Are ballot questions purposely worded to be as unreadable as possible? I knew how I wanted to vote, but after reading the actual langauge of the question, I can't be sure I voted as I intended. I do not understand why they do this---the pols will confuse their supporters as well as their opponents.

They are definitely highly unreadable for the most part. I bet most people cast their votes for/against them based on who supports/opposes them. For one measure here, the actual wording of the intiative is like 7 pages long!

The only thing I had difficulty making up my mind on was term limits for the state legislature. At first I was going to vote for it, but I was persuaded to vote againt it.

Yea, the old vote "NO" if you don't want this referendum defeated. There should be a plain language law.
