Has SD cast his absentee ballot yet?

yeah 3 weeks ago.
A friend of mine watched me fill it out, took 25mins. She didn't understand why I had to fill out all these yes or no's about judges. Then my law roomie saw the ballot and couldn't believe how politicized the system is. Yeah you vote for your supreme court justices but do you know who they are no. It's ridiculous. Or then you get the judge who's running for a county position and runs on a 'I will put everyone in prison platform', exactly how is that being fair? lol silly.

Well of all the things to politicize, I would think voting should be right up there. [img onclick="selecte('dontgetit.gif');" alt=emoticon src="vny!://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/dontgetit.gif" border=0]

eh. I'm just old fashioned, voting never used to be secretive it was seen as an abomination. Although it led to mob killings in Quebec in the late 1770s-1830s. You didn't want to be that guy as the only one voting for the other guy in a room of 30. lol

On the contrary, voting was always VERY private.  It was considered ultimate bad manners to even ask who someone was voting for.  It was a subject people kept to themselves.

Really, hmm.
You lived in a different era I do not know. lol
Everybody knows who everyone voted for, its rather easy to figure out/if you go to a primary you have to state your party of choice. Then that party knows about you and calls you for the rest of your life.

Voting wasn't always done by secret ballot. Usually it was going to a hall, someone would call your name and you'd state who you were voting for (back 125+ years ago or more). Like a caucus.

  Oh of course.....I remember now. [img onclick="selecte('sarcasm.gif');" alt=emoticon src="vny!://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/sarcasm.gif" border=0]  

So, by 'old fashioned'...you were referring to the late 90's ?

    Michel, that's hilarious.  What kind of clock were you trying to repair ?

Oh wow.....that's pretty special !

  Try the craft stores too Michel.  I know they have the clock movements as well.  It usually says on the package, the thickness of the clock.
