I went with the kids and wife to vote. The process was painless, and we used the new Diebold machines which was okay, although I'm still not comfortable not getting a receipt for my vote. It's such a simple idea and one that should have been done from the start and yet here we are without receipts.
I checked the switch on the back of the machine, and it was firmly placed in the "Record Actual Vote" instead of the usual "Count Every Vote As Republican". It was annoying since the machine kept popping up a box that said "Are you sure you don't want to vote for the Republicans?"
I voted for Bob Casey.
In the choice between Bobby and Ricky it was a no-brainer for me. Ricky was too tightly wrapped around the Bush Administration and its policies. Rather than stand up for the rights of his constituents, like me, he worked purely for the Republican agenda, which I don't approve of. His continued support for the Iraq war, support for warrantless wiretaps, and all of the other failed agendas of the Bush Administration make him completely unsupportable.
Also, his equating being homosexual with screwing your dog just blows my mind.
So I voted against him.
