Early Voting
Filed under: Politics

Early voting began yesterday and will continue on until Tuesday, May 3. Voting in city elections isn’t as humdrum as you probably think it is. It’s a great group activity for instance, go out to the polling place with the guys, vote, exchange high fives, go get some beers, discuss the ramifications of the ACC annexation proposal. It’s also a great place to bring a date to let him/her know how politically conscious you are: you even vote in city elections! And if you don’t have a date, did we mention that polling places are rife with attractive singles? And you’ll always have a conversation starter, try these:

“Those ballots are so confusing aren’t they?”
“Did I see you here last election?”
“You are turning me on sooooo much right now.”
and the time honored, “Who did you vote for.”

But while you’re at the polling place don’t forget to vote, you usually get a sticker. Don’t know where to go or who to vote for? Here’s some helpful links:
