Jumpin jehosephat, ST, why did I bid on a PS3? I don't have $170. If I win it, though, is that a decent deal? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 24, 12:41 2

Good for the U.S. for the possible record turnout of voters. That's great. We just had a record *low* turnout. -- (link) - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:39 4

I can't believe it. The little dude has been asleep for almost 2 hours now. I thought for sure I'd only have like 45 min. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:34 7

Question - do employers have to allow for time where you live to give you time to vote on election day? -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:25 17
- Unpaid. Eff that. I'll go on Saturday. I'm already gone from 7:30 to 6:00 with the commute. And I have to get Logan. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:30
- Not that I know of. -- nm - krusty Oct 24, 12:29
- Depends on the state -- (link) - decline Oct 24, 12:29
- Yeah. If I worked 7am to 7pm on Election Day (ain't happening) They'd have to let me off to vote sometime. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:29
- We are allowed to leave or show up a little early if there isn't enough time for you to vote based on your local polling hours. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:28
- I think it depends on the state. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:28 5
  - hence the 'where you live' part of the question. :) -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:29 4
    - Well, then you should've prefaced it as a poll in stead of a question... :) -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:30 3
      - The fundamentals of the poll are sound!!! -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:36
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Or maybe I just need to learn how to read more carefully... -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:35

- I think If polls are open two or three hours before or after employees' normal working hour, the employer is not obligated to provide time off to vote -- nm - mara Oct 24, 12:26 3
  - that what it is here, basically. you are entitled to three hours during election hours to vote. if your work schedule doesn't allow for three - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:29 2
    - Yeah, that's pretty much our rule at work too. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:33 1
      - well, that was Elections Canada's wording, but, the idea seems to be pretty consistent apparently. :) -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:34
- err, that was worded a little oddly, but you know what i mean. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:25

Long Lines, glitches mar early voting.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 24, 12:19 48
- Steal back your vote! -- (link) - psilotum Oct 24, 12:23
- the voting system in this country is a f-ing joke. But the numbers of people voting early this year is *very* encouraging. I think we'll see at - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:21 3

  - pencil. paper. seriously. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:32
  - Clearly time does not heal all wounds. -- nm - sheba Oct 24, 12:22
- what else is new??? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 24, 12:20
- I've been thinking about it, and I believe I'm against this early voting thing. It seems like the primary caucus type thing is getting out of hand. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:20 38
  - What bothers me is what if we find out something damning about either candidate between now and the election? -- nm - mara Oct 24, 12:26 7
    - Or what if we can ignore the nasty attack ads for two weeks?! -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:28
    - What if you find out something on Wednesday? Oh noes!!! -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:27 4
      - Then it affects every voter equally -- not at all. Something now affects only those who voted early. -- nm - mara Oct 24, 12:37 2
        
        But, by their own choice. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:38 1
        
        Exactly, and I don't care so let me vote without being penalized for taking time off work. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:40
      - Seriously. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:29
    - I mention that in a reply below (more) - Qale Oct 24, 12:27
  - I'm out of vacation time, so it's the only way I can vote. I guess I could have gotten an absentee ballot. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:22 26
    - Absentee is pretty cool, but this polls being weeks before Election Day? I'm not getting it. - Qale Oct 24, 12:24 25
      - I think the idea of an "election day" is ill suited to our current times - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:28 8
        
        Should the government set up a social networking website for voting as well because that's more suited to our current times? Hehehe. - Qale Oct 24, 12:30 7
        
        I actually think that would be a great idea once we can make electronic communication more secure. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:31 1
        
        You'd make it ORANGE too wouldn't you? BASTARD!!!!! - Qale Oct 24, 12:35
        
        What corruption issues? -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:31 4
        
        That's the original topic of this thread. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:32 3
        
        The original article talks about issues at the polling place. They would not be helped by reducing the hours/days the polls were open. -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:38 2
        
        Pardon my conspiracy theorist mentality but I read "glitches" and I think it can lead to corruption. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:43 1
        
        true. Or they are a result of corruption. But all this has happened on election day before. -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:49
      - It is easier for everyone...the voters and the election officials...it's good for democracy -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 24, 12:26 14
        
        Maybe voting shouldn't be easy though. Maybe it should be hard and take time and effort. I mean there was a story on Drive-Thru voting I believe? WTH? -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:27 13
        
        let's reinstate literacy tests and poll taxes, then. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:29 9
        
        How about making it only for landowners, men, white people again -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 24, 12:31 1
        
        YES!!! -- nm - John McCain Oct 24, 12:32
        
        I think that's taking what I said too far, obviously. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:30 6
        
        of course, but it makes my point. Barriers to voting do a disservice to democracy. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:32 5
        
        How big of a barrier is it to just have people either vote absentee or show up on a certain day? - Qale Oct 24, 12:34 4
        
        z wants us all to vote by beaming a hanging chad from our imbedded mind chips to a satellite. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:39 3
        
        The Electorate is SELF AWARE!! -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:44
        
        mi mi mi mi mi mi mi - Beaker SI Oct 24, 12:44
        
        *shrug* the fundamental idea is sound -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 12:43
        
        I really don't understand the argument that it should be harder to vote. -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:29 2
        
        Not harder, but certainly not so easy that it becomes unappreciated. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:31 1
        
        I don't think that's what the issue has been recently -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 24, 12:33
      - I'm voting Nov. 1. Close enough. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:26
  - if we could gurantee every gets to vote on the day then I'd be for eliminating early voting as well. -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 12:21 2
    - Well, it's not just guaranteeing everyone a right to vote, but making sure all votes are counted correctly. - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:23 1
      - that as well. -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 12:24
crap. amy sedaris had a book signing at the grove last night - pixie fierce Oct 24, 12:18 1
