Agreed. As much as I loathe voting restrictions, I really can't stand complaints about our government from people that can't be bothered to vote.

Go vote!

I'd like to add a small caveat, of course. Definitely vote, but only if you've actually looked into the issues. Just the act of voting isn't doing your patriotic duty, but an informed vote absolutely is. Treat that magnificent freedom with the respect it deserves.

I didn't see anyone having trouble, though I think they took a step back in terms of tech at my location - it was all electronic last time, this time was filling in bubbles. Meh.

Was all orderly and civil and stuff, but the particular District 9 I live in isn't all that diverse outside of the universities. Not one effin' prawn out voting that I saw, though there were a variety of humans.

If anyone experiences election discrimination or blocking, you should call 1-866-OUR-VOTE. If you witness these problems, tell the affected person to call this number.

Looking like there will be no changing of hands of power in the House or Senate. Utah and Iowa's races closing in the Senate, and House staying Republican. This is simply bewildering.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse

When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble; give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best

I'm just wondering if at this point, that those stars who promised to move if Trump wins are packing their bags. According to google's live updating feed of it, trump is ahead by a long shot especially once most of these states finish counting their votes and the electoral college...
