Election Day
With today's election day being in an odd number year. . .it is often overlooked. Voter turnout is usually horrible. . .states with Gubernatorial races I suspect have a slightly better turnout. Washington with it's R-71 on domestic partnerships and Spokane's Prop 4 on setting up a "Bill of Rights" has made me sick to my stomach. It's only 10:00am and ever since stepping into work, I've felt sick and anxious.
Working here, I get to have Elections up all in my face all day. I'm honestly terrified and anxious all at the same time. I want to know the results already, but at the same time I don't. And it isn't just for Washington I am anxious about, but Maine too.
Haven't heard the likelihood of Prop 4 passing in Spokane, but it is said that R-71 might pass, but barely. A close race it will be.
Just like Prop-8 in California. . .I'll probably go batshit insane if R-71 fails here and if Question 1 passes in Maine. Just a warning. I'll LJ cut it. I promise.
I'm way more on edge about this election than I was last year's Presidential election.
