I Voted—8:41 AM
I did it for the sticker.
And you should, too. It was really a lot of fun. The line wasn't even that long. So, follow my lead, America! Head to the polls!
Hey, if you're feeling sporty, do like me and cast an ironic vote for Kerry. Pretending your vote counts... it's kind of cute, in a way.

Voter Outrage In Colorado...
They did NOT have "I Voted" stickers at my polling place. I asked specifically, and the guy just shrugged in this appallingly nonchalant way and said, "Nope, we don't have them this time."
I always like wearing my sticker around, plus it's a great reminder to others to vote (because this election is so underpromoted).
Also, I believe MoveOn.org when they argue that EVERY vote counts, even in a non-swing state like California, because it cannot hurt to have Kerry win the popular vote no matter what happens.
Finally, in what might indicate good news, when I went over to the local Democratic HQ to volunteer this morning, they said they already had too many people and didn't need me...! does that bode well?
Go Kerry.

Yeah, they ran out of stickers at the recall election last year, and I was very sad. That's why I got up early to go this morning. One woman showed up to drop off absentee ballots for herself and her son, and they gave her two stickers! I almost tackled her in the parking lot.
I can't believe you let the Democratic HQ people turn you away. I would have stuck around just for the free massage!

Been there, done that & yes... got the sticker. Also rubbed elbows with Corine Brown! I wonder if they make an ointment for that...
