Is anyone else voting in the USA this year? Discuss the 2010 US election in this thread. Uninformed voters should consider looking at Wikipedia and Project Vote Smart.

I'll be voting for the first time as a resident of Washington One nice thing here is that ballots are by mail, so I don't have to wait in an extremely long line and/or go out in the pouring rain to vote. I think that more states should do that.

Patty Murray's US Senate spot is up this year in Washington, with Dino Rossi the challenger. I definitely agree with Murray here a lot more than Rossi, so I'll be voting for her. Similarly for my US Rrepresentative and state senator and representatives. I pretty much always agree more with the Democrats than the Republicans, so I'll probably be voting straight-ticket Democratic

There are some issues up on my ballot, too, many of which I'm undecided on. Washington may be getting a state income tax for people making over $200k/year for health and education, and I'll probably vote for that one.

I voted for the Marijuana ballot measure and also Jerry Brown. Hate Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina and all those teabaggers with a passion. They don't represent anyone, they represent corporations, which are NOT people, contrary to the Supreme Court's crazed definition.

Chuck Schumer is running yet again in NYS, I think for the fourth time... wonder if he'll be one of the longest-running senators in this state xD

For Congress, it's Scott Murphy running where I am... and governor, Paladino doesn't stand a chance. Cuomo all the way =D

Paladino seems to be rather homophobic. Ugh, I really hope that voters in New York don't let him win.

She also believes women in the Senate aren't allowed to be called 'Senator' and should be called 'Ma'am.'

She's also being brutally destroyed by Barbara Boxer's ads on how she nuked HP.

Since politics have become greatly distorted so much in fact that politics are now leaning more towards the realm of what is out-of touch with reality. I'm voting to help counter this problem.

Locally? I have no fucking clue if I'm going to vote or not. This election has been a big mudslinging joke here in the state, but then again, where isn't it like that?
