49. My Absentee Ballot Was Recorded 10/16/2012

Oct 2012

... in California, which is heavily blue, so it doesn't matter much in our electoral college system, but still... I voted. And, according to the official website, my ballot was received and its status is good. I don't care what ails ya, voting is better than chicken soup.

Oh, and I voted for Barack Obama. And AGAINST Prop 32, which would allow corporations to fund political campaigns, but effectively prohibit unions from doing so. The lies in the political ads I see on TV is mind-boggling.
