US citizens: Have you voted? [poll]

Please don’t take this down, mods.
Guys, don’t discuss who you voted for or why. No political discussions

  • Yes, I voted
  • No, I haven’t voted and won’t vote
  • No, but I will vote later today

I have to admit I always get teary when I vote, about the privilege of voting. Seems so nice to live in a country where the mentally ill aren’t chained up but actually get the vote. And where we don’t change leadership by coups and assassinations.

I almost lost my right to vote in 2011 when I got arrested for a felony. Fortunately got the charges dropped…

Nope wrong country, but I know who I would have voted for & why.

If Pablo Escobar hadn’t been arrested in the mid 70s he probably would’ve been elected president of Columbia, drastically changing the fate of the nation forever.

I voted twice, once for my voices and once for myself

I feel the same, @Twang. I like to walk down to the polling place and think about what it is that I’m about to do. It’s one of my favorite traditions.

I don’t think I voted in 1976. And I don’t know if I voted in 1980. That was a bad time for me. I’m glad I can vote now. And now is a better time for me.

when I went for a walk today, I saw a HUGE line outside home. made me very very nervous.

even if I wanted to vote, police officers would’ve probably stopped me anyways. they always do. but I would have probably voted, if I could do so online.

Isn’t it funny if you put a space in between on and line in online, it completely changes your willingness to vote :smiley:

that’s not fair. each of your voices should have an individual vote.

Well, ones Mexican so it voted for Hillary and the other is Italian and a republican so it went with Trump

I feel that way too, about the police. I live in Jersey and when I come into the city I think they all can tell I’m nuts and medicated. The worst are the cops that sit by the tunnels

I voted and it felt good. Almost didn’t vote.

I’ve been declared “incapacitated” (It’s a long story), and they won’t let me register to vote. It doesn’t matter, because if I could vote I would vote “no”.

were you declared “incapacitated” because of your mental illness?

It’s a long story :anguished:

I voted! About a week ago

Partially. I think it was because of something I did - See, I got a sheet of paper saying I’d inherited $80,000 from my dad. I couldn’t get access to the money, though, and I realized I was never going to touch a penny of that money, so I published the account number on a number of very busy sites.
