Morning folks! Go vote please!!
Been there, done that, got my sticker!
I’m so glad I had sense enough to go on and do it this morning. The road to my west podunk Hinds county polling location is just as curvy, narrow and scary as I remember and I would NOT have been happy had I waited till after dark!!
I have voted, and was very pleased to see how busy my polling place was that early in the morning. Good sign.
Also, I saw the full moon last night and saw its effects this morning. Good grief, people were driving ridiculously on my morning commute.
Good Morning!!!
morning gang! Will vote after work. Meeting hubby there.
gotta get moving have meetings all day today.. and my phone has been ringing non-stop since I walked in.
Mornin. I tried to vote, but the line was too long. I would not have been out of there by 8:00. Got there about 7:30 after dropping Kiddo off at school. Since the line was long there, I went back to school to buy tickets to Friday night’s football game. They don’t have the tickets yet. So, everything I tried today was a bust. Oh, well….that’s what lunch hours are for, right?
Orville and I did our civic duty and made our voice heard at 7am. The line was already long at that time. Good to see and going to be a very ‘interesting’ day when it’s all said and done…
I had to wait a few minutes to vote because one of the booths had the supervisor card stuck in it. They played with it for quite a while, but it wasn’t budging.
I was amused when a lady came in and was looking at the amendments posted on the wall. She knew how she was going to vote on 26 (Personhood) and 27 (voter ID), but wasn’t sure about the language of 31 (eminent domain). The lady behind the desk said, “You want to vote ‘Yes.'”
Am I mistaken? I thought it was improper, if not an outright violation, to tell someone how to vote. It wasn’t an answer to a question (i.e. ‘How do I vote if this is my intention?’) It was just a statement: You want to vote Yes. Maybe, in our little district, they knew each other well enough so that the poll worker really did know how the woman felt about the issue, just didn’t know how the question was phrased. But she should have given both answers: If you feel this way, vote yes; If you feel this other way, vote no.
I agree with you. Poll workers should not be telling which way to vote on anything. Wow.
That action is prohibited by law. A person may ask for assistance and may choose anybody they desire to help them. But there should be no campaigning in the polling place or within 150 feet of the entrance thereof.
Any discussion of the pros and cons of any issue on the ballot is never to be done in the polling prescinct and any prescinct worker caught making a statement like that should be barred from ever working in a voting prescinct again, and whatever sanctions that might go along with that.
Mr. H just told me that his mom, Sr. Mrs. H, is coming up to our place on Saturday and that her eyesight is excellent. Thanks for the prayers for her cataract surgery last week.
Just got. back from Mom and Dads. They locked themselves out of the house when they went to vote!
Glad you could come to the rescue, AW.

Creepy and sad.
read some of the comments.
They must have been busy at my polling place because I did not get a sticker!!
Yhe circuit clerk’s office didn’t provide us with any stickers today and they haven’t the last few times.
everyone have a good evening… headed to home depot for toliet parts… the girls toilet has started to act funny.. so replacing parts – gaskets and plunger things.
then to vote.
For future reference the best times for voting are around 10 am and between 2 and 3 pm. No lines. I know many may not be able to go during those times, but if you can…
Evenin!
I was really glad I went this morning. My little podunk polling place was hopping by the time I left there at 7:10.
MrsH, I’m glad to hear Sr. Mrs. H is doing so well. I know the surgery made a huge difference for my Dad.
Evening to everyone. PD and I got our votes in this afternoon. I had requested an absentee ballot but they did not mail him one. They did mail him the forms to be completed for being disabled which we felt at that time would not get processed in time for him to have a ballot before today.
we got voted, supper, and hopefully toilet fixed waiting on that to find out if so.. had to glue a piece and waiting for it to set.
what happen to write ins?? there wasn’t a place to on any candidate thought that was very very strange.
everyone have a great night.
There were places for write-ins on our ballots in Rankin County. The only thing about writing in someone is that they don’t really count unless the race has to be decided by write-ins as happened twice last time when two different judicial candidates died (I think after the ballots were printed, but correct me if I’m wrong, OB) and write ins were what had to be counted. I think the time and cost of reprinting those ballots was prohibitive.
Legal, my old memory bank is a bit foggy on this one. I’ll cede to you and trust your memory is better than mine just this one time. I vaguely remember and, if correctly, it was because there was no other candidate on the ballot, so a write in was in order. Yet, as I recall, one of the deceased was elected anyway which prompted the Board of Supervisors to name a temporary judge until a special election could be held. I’d never swear that to be truthful under oath, but it sounds pretty good.
Watching results for DWTS and the elections at the same time… gotta love technology. ..
Yay!! Nancy Grace is gone!!
Home at last…thank goodness it’s been a busy day though. We had a steady stream of voters all day up until about 10 minutes after 5:00. Then we were packed like sardines with a line going out the door. By 6:30 everyone was about gone and I think we had 4 or 5 voters between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. I was proud today that I did not hear one whisper of opinion inside the prescinct. One woman said that they had just driven back from Chattanooga to vote and I just said, “good.” One voter came by after work, saw the line, went home and had supper and then came back when there was no line.
Hi checking in. Working our election It’s going at a pretty good clip! My sheriff is winning! YES!!!
LegalE glad your precint had a good turnout. Coop a man in our line at the precint was talking about how bad of a dancer she was.
Please keep PD in your prayers for his surgery tomorrow. Also a request for his son who has some issues and was rushed to the hospital earlier tonight. We are being told that he is alert, but are waiting for an update from his mom.
prayers for sure PM!
OH.. different note.. there is a bird fair at the whabai temple on 55 frontage road this weekend.. meant to tell you earlier about it sorry.
I had seen the sign this past Sunday, but never saw the date. Sort of hard to read while driving. Thks for the info maybe I can make a detour.
Prayers!
Prayers for PD and PM.
PM, a friend is being given a Macaw!
I voted :)
My goodness, but I may be run out of town on a rail as I was the only one in town that publicly opposed 26. C’est la vie..
G’nite.
Clucky, there were 2,847 others in Union County who voted like you. Unfortunately y’all only comprised 35% of the Union County vote. So you might consider walking lightly for a while.
Sweetie, I’m in the City of Union, not the county. My city is split on a county line, one of which is well known for a Fair and an ugly history 40 years ago.
