Tuesday is the big day in the United States and I'm expecting big lines in some places. Several people knocked on my door to vote and I already voted, so at least in this area doesn't matter if you vote early flyers keep coming also. Two phone calls today reminding me to vote. In all the years I have voted never had this many flyers, knocks on my door and calls, so feel people know in this area there is a lot to consider on my ballot.
I know there is some question about the Props at least in California. Some people on my friends list on Facebook said vote no on all the money issues. I think its important to read where the money goes, then decide if the money is needed and enough really goes to that issue. One example is roads and I was floored to see 18 % to roads and the list was long for the rest of the money. The people behind the road issue were at my door today trying to convince me to give them money. You already know by this post it was a big NO.
Please vote, as last time several issues were decided by a few votes and at least 1 big issue by mail in ballots. The mail in ballots had it go in my favor, but it was a long wait for it to be official.

I voted and glad to see another vote by mail. Glad to see an Oregonian, which is where I'm from and attended college in that great state. I use to visit your area with one of the classes I enjoyed seeing all the fields. Thanks to both of you for posting.

Its going to be a long day, as so many things are on ballots across the country. I'm many hours behind other states and so many times California doesn't really decide the higher offices. For many years they announced the winner before polls closed and many people just didn't vote. People started complaining about how unfair that was to certain states, so now winners aren't announced so fast.
The other lady that posted lives in the state next to California and everyone votes my mail there. I use to live there and like being able to just put the ballot in the mail and avoid standing in a long line at the polls.
Thanks for posting and I'm afraid to ask which is better, as I didn't vote for either one. I'm just hoping my choice gets over 5% and the United States stops having a 2 party, as there are a lot of parties here, who most people don't know yet.
