I voted today. The old lady volunteers were very nice, and gave Bean an "I Voted" sticker, which she promptly ate.
Some ballot issues are very controversial (Smoking bans, marijuana legalizations) and some don't have much to do with my life (dropping sales tax on tractor sales). Dim and I took the time to read the sample ballot and attached arguments carefully and discussed what we thought was best.
So basically, we think that you can smoke pot, but not in public restaurants (and NOT in Bean's room - again) and that Farmer Joe has to pay sales tax on his tractor just like we do for our own business equipment. Both purchases should be made a little bit easier by raising the minimum wage. Education should not necessarily be the first thing funded at legislative sessions, and the Governor shouldn't get to appoint his cronies to the Board of Regents.
Oh, and that freaky Scientologist helicopter guy that's running for Sherriff? No way, man.
