Virginia here, dd and I are heading up to our voting place first thing this morning. We're voting for governor in a blue-ish/purple-ish state. The Republican candidate, Ed Gillespie, has been running ads that are outright lies, and total exaggeration and "misinterpretations". He is supported by trump. Unfortunately this state has a lot of the ignorant types who voted for trump.  |

The greatest con ever played on Americans is convincing them their votes don't matter.
Self-fulfilling, dangerous, counter-productive lie.

I'm just back from voting and there were a lot of people there! There was actually a short line to get into the building which is not something we usually see in non-presidential elections. I think trump has "encouraged" a lot of people to get out and vote for the guy who he did NOT endorse.  |

Or...checking on our "race" maybe? No, I'm sorry. We need face checks. Race checks are insufficient. |

No lines when I voted a little after 9:00 but there seemed to be a steady stream of voters. Among other issues, I wanted to make sure to vote for a library tax renewal.

I voted at 9 am here in VA. There was a short line - which is a good thing!

Only 2% of registered voters in my county have voted early so I'm really hoping people show up today. It's very disheartening to live in a state where so few vote. ( TX is consistently in the bottom for voter turnout )

I voted this afternoon braving the cold rain shower. I was #240. I peeked at the rolls and double checked that DH voted this morning.

I early voted last week. Nothing huge on our ballot, but I will never again pass up the opportunity to vote. Waiting with bated breath for 2018!

His ads that say Northam said Trump was a "lunatic" did not have the intended effect. They made me want to vote for Ralph Northam.  |

No elections here. I found out after going to the voting place.  I tried checking different sources before going and saw nothing posted. I knew a nearby town had a mayoral race.  |

Not much on the ballot here. I am angry that I can't vote no for a very small, expensive theatre. It is smaller than our high theatre , and looking at the design will not hold the type of productions the community thinks that will be brought here.

NJ - we elected a man who supports legalizing recreational marijuana and making this a sanctuary state.

My town canceled our elections two months ago. All three candidates (mayor and 2 council seats) were running unopposed. So they will just be appointed and we move along as if nothing happened.

Yes, Northam didn't say trump was a "lunatic", he said trump was a "narcissistic maniac". That's right. I couldn't remember exactly. I just knew it went right along with my thoughts on Trump. |
