I was a little wary about voting on those new machines they had at the voting polls, knowing they can be hacked. I didn't want to really use those machines at the voting polls but that's all they had there. I prayed to God that my vote would count for the people I voted for and that there would be no problems with the machines. All the stories I heard of to discourage voters, particularly in the black community really pissed me off. I mean is that what it has come to with these politics, just think if they are doing that are we all really safe with our Government. I'm a black female and I voted for the lesser of two evils.

Well, I can't say voting was trouble free for me. Instead of the old ballot boxes, our district got gigantic scan-tron sheets (and I mean HUGE!) to fill out. The officials, if somewhat scatterbrained, managed OK. No one called me except to ask me to vote for their issue and their candidates - and I hung up on those folks. I can make up my own mind through research - I don't need a telemarketer to tell me how to vote. Voter turnout was huge in my district - and I was SO happy to see that. If you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the way things turn out. My vote did count, and I choose to remain optimistic that, despite its flaws, the voting system still works - maybe that's idealist, but what the hey. I can't be a cynic all the time. I'm overall happy that Congress is in the hands of the left - we need that to balance the overall GOP power in the executive and judicial branches. I hope now we begin to see some positive changes!

Not really. Proposal 2 passed and Terri Lynn Land got re-elected, but not a complete dissapointment.

Not happy how it turned out but it was fair. I just don't know why people vote on the past and not the future.

Yes, change was needed and now we get the opportunity to see if democrats can do something different. i don't hold my breath on this one though....I do not hold much faith for either party! Collectively, they are all morons!
