How about it? Did anyone here vote against "thier" party's official line? Did any Dems. here vote for Reps.? Did any Reps. here vote for Dems.?

I voted about 90% party line, voting for a couple of local Dems. who have done a great job and voted against one measure that the OR Rep. party wanted me to vote for. How'd the rest of you do???

I just voted...

I went across the party line, but I also voted for the Constitution Party in a local race...

As I've said previously, my choices in this election were "not good" and "hell", but one thing I would NOT do is prevent myself from voting on the local stuff...

For all we know, you may help the local attorney general become president in 16 years...

I had 3 questions...

3 were easy..."Do you want the city to apply for a loan..." (NO!!!!!)...

But 1 had me stumped for a minute...

Paraphrasing - "Should citizens with 1 year or more residency applying for city jobs receive more consideration for those jobs than someone who has been a resident for less than one year if their scores are equal?...

I voted "yes", but I'm still conflicted...I don't know if cities should be held to the same citizenship record as the country...Maybe the bigger offices like Mayor or Atty. Gen., but I don't know about the average civil service job...

I voted "Yes" for taking a portion of county funds to start a mosquito control district. The money goes straight to the equipment and the sprayer/operator.
Voted for Bill Sali (R) for congress, because he voted not to do the bail out.
Voted R and C Party on some local races. All others D.
Another reason I voted for Sali (who is in a tight race today) is because he writes back (or someone on his staff does) when you ask him a question or give him your views. I like that.

I split my ticket. Federal = Democrats, state = Didn't vote (I'm not voting for the crappy incumbents I have), County = 50/50 split, local = Republican.

I voted against all amendments to the constitution.
I voted to keep two out of 6 judges.
I voted for two bond issues (education/health) and against two bond issues (senior citizens center/technology)

I voted early to be sure nothing unexpected could prevent me from voting in this election.

I voted to return one Democrat to the House and one Republican to the Senate - I felt both of them had done a good job.

We had ten amendments on various city and county issues, the most important of which was to require a vote by the citizens before our public utility company could be sold. Since our mayor (who would sell his mother if he could get a good price) had already tried to sell our LGW, I voted to vote on that!
