took the wife 30 minutes to vote.
since the people's vote doesn;t actually do anything, i don;t go waste my time. the electoral college picks who they want so if you just happen to have the same view as them, then your guy gets voted in.
voting is a waste until they actually use the people's votes instead of a bunch of representatives who have our "best interest" in mind.

I don't recognize our great country much anymore. The young folks in schools from K through post-graduate college are being primed to vote for those who offer them the most free stuff. This has been going on for quite some time and now those in charge are cashing in. Just another form of slavery in my humble opinion. Disappointed? You bet!

I was shocked that Obama got reelected. On election day this friend of mine asked me to hand out some fliers about someone running for city council. There was a couple of bucks in it for me so i figured why not. I was handing them out at the voteing place[ like people dont know who their going to vote for by the time they arrived] , The james Madison University vans was pulling in shuttleing college students to the polls to vote. All of them had Obama on them, not one Romney.
It made me think along those lines, of the powers that be haveing an influence on the younger generation.

Yep. Over an hour for me. What a waste of time. :roll:
The electoral college gives the state's votes to the candidate that receives the most individual votes in that state. They don't just pick who they want. So the people who can't be bothered to vote because they think their vote doesn't matter are the reason some of the close states went to Obama instead of Romney.

I got caught up doing other things so never really heard, did they ever say why Florida took so long? I suspected it was because of the large elderly population. Just don't move as fast anymore.
From what I understand the Florida legislature put 11 constitutional amendments on the ballot, each one printed in their entirety. It ended up causing the Florida ballot to be 12 pages long.
I think the end result is a huge document written in legaleze.
