h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm posting from my local library and wishing for the best result, Hyp.

A pox on unintelligent voters!

Keep a stiff upper lip, your chin up, a positive attitude, etc.,
I have good feelings about the election tomorrow.

Don't they shut down bars on election day?

Here's another . If you wear down the rug then you finally have an excuse to replace it! (Assuming it was the one Great Aunt Tilly gave you that she made herself...)

I thought the bars were closed on Election Day too, but here, so were package liquor stores. Now, at least in Sedgwick County, it's up to the individual communities to decide whether or not to close down. We don't have a bar or a liquor store here in our town, but the grocer sells beer. He can now sell it on Sunday, by decree of the city council. I am assuming he can sell it on holidays as well, if he is open on the holiday. Kansas was a dry state for a long time--and some counties still are dry. The law for bars here, at one time, was that only 3.2 beer could be sold in a bar unless the bar brought in a percentage of its profits in the food line. Things have changed and I'm soooo confused.

I thought the whole point was because the political Bosses were souping people up and sending them to vote as repeaters. Is that no longer a danger?

Dunno.............I lead a sheltered life. As far as I know there are no political bosses in my little corner of the world, (unless you count the bank president--who pretty much controls everything here). Hyp would probably know about the laws down there though.

To the best of my knowledge the bars will be open tomorrow.

There is a change in the election procedure however. Now you have to show a photo id as well as your voter registration card. Should eliminate deceased voters showing up at the polls.

In 24 hours I should know the results.

A thousand blessings upon your fidgeting.

Hey! You're alive!

*sloopydance*

*the twist*

Lots of crossed things, as we must be down to about 16 hours now...

The polls opened 90 minutes ago. They'll close at 7pm, which is 1am GMT. Then it takes a bit to count the ballots. So, 11.5 hours left to vote and then a frantic 2-3 hours to get the tally.

Fortunately I have a ton of work to do today to help keep my mind off of it all. But then when don't I have a ton of work to do? I'm exhausted. That's why we need more money - so I can hire some extra people. Even being able to replace the ones who've left would be a help.

ommmmmmming with Wilma.

(If it gets too stressmaking, drop a tv or two.)

Wish I lived closer. I would volunteer a couple of days a week for Hyp. (As long as I could volunteer near a chair so I could sit occasionally)

How do you find out the results, Hyp? Does it get on TV? Do you have a swingometer?

Reading and drinking don't mix....we need a PSA...and a mascot...maybe a duck...
