Yes, I certainly voted, and if it wasn't clear from my other post, I don't mind saying I supported mainly Libertarian candidates with a few no votes also and one or two sympathy votes.
No other candidates earned my vote of confidence.
I CERTAINLY didn't support Bush.
Two issues passed here in Missouri in my city that I was gald to see.
One was the medical marijuana reform law, that "would allow seriously ill patients who obtain a physician's recommendation to use medical majijuana without penalty." That passed at about 2 to 1.
The other prop. was one that would stop wasting tax dollars going after petty "pot" crime. It safe guarded students elgilbility for petty amounts and allowed small offenses to go through city court saving. It also passed about 2-1.
Kind of surprising in a way in an area that was said to be so pro Bush. There were alot of Bush signs about (alot more than Kerry) and the kids at my childrens school favored Bush about 2 to 1 in a mock vote. ( My kids voted for Kerry).
The kids made fun of mine and some others about being for Kerry. I told them to remind the others in about 4 years they had better be ready to shave their heads and practice up with those rifles.

i was one of the 49 people in my county that voted "elsewhere" not D or R
in my state only 3/4 % of the populus voted "write in" = Nader
or for the Libratarian or Constitutional candidate
It goes to show how polorized this election was
I figured that my state was going kerry and i could vote constitution without changing a damn thing, and that is what happened...
In oregon our secratart of state (a D) made sure that Naders name was not on the ballot even tho Ralph had way more signatures than he needed
This was really an election of hate and fear rather than anything else
i guess we will muddle through somehow
It was interesting that when the inevitable phone calls came before the election
the ones that accualy had a human on the line...
I would bring up the issues the "party" was not covering
like the chemtrails started under klinton and continued under bush
