Kind of excited for our first election

You are assigned a location where you vote when you registered to vote. Some locations have larger populations voting. Hard to say when they'll be less crossed.

They will be crowded at opening and after 5, so best to go mid day, IMO. You avoid most of the pure and post work crowd.

Thanks for your participation.

I prefer to go after 5:00.
The lines are short and the harassing poll 'workers' outside the gate are worn out and not as pushy and irritating.

I learn far more about the candidates in person by their responses and actions in the public forums than I could ever learn from reading campaign literature or canned written responses. The debates are wonderfully entertaining too!

Continually impressed by Coffelt/Canegata ticket. I just hope more people vote their conscience, and not just for whom they think will win. This is not about picking a winner in the 3rd race at Randell Doc James, It's about selecting the best person for the job.

i believe work is required to allow you 2 hours paid time to go vote

Yes, an employer is required to give an employee 2 hours paid time off to go to vote.

Do we have to be able to prove that we actually went to vote.

No.

Maybe we could request the poll sites stamps your hand as proof.
(Only kidding.)

I thought when most all the people I talked to about voting and the election just before had an "eye roll" reaction and was generally met with cynicism that for some reason I was only encountering particularly jaded people.

Now that a week after the election we still don't have official results, and are basically getting no communication (directly or to the media) about what's going on I guess I kind of get it now. Really too bad.

There are news articles published every day about the VI vote counting. There are also updated tallies posted frequently at http://www.vivote.gov/content/2014-general-election-results .

When I went on to that site (vivote) yesterday morning the last update they had was from back on Wednesday. Yesterday's Daily News 48-font headline was "Silence", referring of course to the lack of in their mind as a newspaper of communication at all from the election commission. Maybe I should be checking the Avis instead of the Daily News, I hear more progress is being made on STX then in the STT/STJ district.

I am not going to let the crazies deter me from voting. I think most of the chaos and confusion is deliberate so as to discourage sane, rational voters from participating.

The Elections Board is having a press conference today. No matter what they say it won't instill voter confidence. The ecstasy of not having Chucky and Celestino White in the Senate gives me the hope that we will have at least calmer, more literate representation.
