Did You Vote?

My partner Doug and I voted today in the Illinois primary election.  If you voted, leave a comment below.  (Primary polling is staggered.  If you already voted in your home state's primary, tell me that too.  It also counts if you're just voting on tax or other referendum issues and your primary is later.)  I'll look at how much participation there is, and think of a perk later.

I initially thought about skipping the primary because most of my party's races were going uncontested or as-good-as, but since I had an errand to run anyway I managed to stop by and take care of it, if only to vote against everybody who robocalled me slagging off the other guy... >:)

As promised, I did vote in the Blount County General (tax) and Primary Election yesterday. It was pretty easy; with something like 15 offices on the ballot, only one candidate qualified (not one for each office; one total).

This is good to know.

*sigh* We have candidate shortage here too, but usually it's one per office. I think that the first two slots should always be filled by whoever gets the most support -- whether it clears the threshold or not -- and only after that should candidates have to "qualify." It's not a real election if you don't have at least two people to choose between.
