DISQUS

Wow, I think it took me about 40 minutes to vote, too. Big turnout, yay!

I wonder if Facebook will turn out to be the best get out the vote tool in history? I guess it depends on whether the famous youth vote grows. I saw two previously unregistered (one 18, one 19) friends at my polling place, so that's good, right?

I think it is great when anyone votes so yes. I just pray they voted for McCain :).

Actually, one of them registered really late, and the people working at the poll couldn't find his address, so he couldn't vote period (but he is going home to get the letter that says he's registered to vote there). I don't know who they voted for, but I'm sure they're no on prop 8.

Well, as much as I don't want a "no on 8" vote I would rather have him vote than be turned away. Especially if he is eligible.

B.T.Carolus · 1 year ago

Oh great, this is horrible....I meant yes. They are yes on 8 so you want him to vote...

Everybody has been having this problem (the no and yes on 8 people I know have all made comments about their confusion to me, and Margaret Cho did a commercial on it) because for some reason it seems crazy that if you want gay marriage you vote no, and if you don't want it you vote yes. So it's all backwards, and everyone's confused. I hope that we don't have people voting backward of what they want!

I want him to vote no matter what but it is even better that he is in favor of Prop 8 :).

I know, there has been confusion regarding the wording and such from the very first step. California has a way of doing that from what I hear.

Our corresponding campaign about marriage wordings haven't been all that good either. Though, I do think it'd amuse me if the confusion was how God orchestrated a victory :)

I'd prefer it if God orchestrated a victory by allowing a majority of voters to confirm prop 8, rather than by an amusing confusion.

Jonathan · 1 year ago

Amen to that :)

Randy · 1 year ago

Yup. Agreed.
