WTF?? I don't remember doing that!!

Looking thru voting materials tonight.

Apparently I signed up, at some point, for Permanent Vote by Mail status.

I don't remember doing that.

Apparently Permanent Vote by Mail Status means I am supposed to have received an Official Ballot in the Mail...

This did NOT occur.

Jeff says there are many stories about Vote by Mail or Absentee Ballots going missing/never arriving, in at least 4 different states.

I am allowed to vote at the precinct if I bring my unvoted Vote by Mail ballot (you know, the one I didn't RECEIVE...) to the precinct.

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Shitting. Me.

Okay, the Contra Costa County Elections website has a phone number to call. I will call at 7 am and ask, very politely, exactly what the fuck I am supposed to do in order to vote.

... thank you, Livejournalians, for a place to throw my rant out into the universe.

obama obama obama obama......

OMG OMG OMG OMG...

is this real? has this really happened?

this is part of why I wanted to be someplace with loud TV's and lots of people tonight...

WOW.

it doesn't feel real, yet... I'ma get me an old fashioned newsprint newspaper and read it tomorrow, babies!!

grace under pressure...

Whoa. McCain's acceptance speech really was a class act, and lets me see a little into what the people who wanted him, saw in him. I think I heard him use the word "love" five times, which is five times more than I ever heard him use that word in any of the debates or sound bites... he was restrained, and respectful, and classy, and supportive, and inclusive, and I am pretty impressed at his demonstration of his "reaching across the aisle" skills...

i can't WAIT till someone Youtube's Barack's acceptance speech!!!

eeeeee!!!

Edit: WOW. Jeff found Obama's speech to be overly dramatic.

I liked the, Yes, we won, Yes we Can. Now, Let's Get to Work.

Yes. That.
