Related: About this forumDU tradition... DUers and the slogan avatar...
A change to "I voted" after one has voted ... I was told, is a DU tradition. If you have already voted I am asking you to participate in this tradition and change your avatar. It would be nice to see all of those who have already voted. I know I could hardly wait and once I did it was an exceptionally empowering and freeing feeling, even though I have done it before. I feel my vote this time was more important somehow because so much is riding on this election like women's rights, the economy, education, wars and the Supreme Court's future for example. I shared the line with more than a few young people that were voting for the first time. When the young lady in front of me was told to wait because they could not find her registration my heart sank. Fifteen minutes and three poll workers later they figured out the problem and she voted. As good as I felt after I voted I can only imagine how she was feeling. Let's show our DU support and change that avatar, please. And please pass the word. Thank you, LMSP
Please also rec the post to keep it going. Thank you.

(1,214 posts)The first day of early voting in NC. My wife and I are both independent ("unaffiliated" in NC parlance) but I cast my ballot for a straight Democratic ticket, including Obama/Biden. She assures me she voted for Obama as well.

(22,529 posts)But my niece said she would vote for Obama. "Because Obama is for the girls and everyone knows girls rule and boys drool." She is ten. So I gave her my I voted early sticker and she said "Yeah, real early. I am only ten." Please also rec the post to keep it going. Thank you and waving a hand from Down East....LMSP
