If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!
I just picked up all the voting machines and equipment this morning, and they are sitting in my living room. It's going to be an EARLY morning tomorrow - I have to get there around 4:40...that's after a 15 minute drive and probably 10 minutes to load everything in the van beforehand.
I would appreciate your prayers that everything would go smoothly and there wouldn't be any big issues that I have to deal with.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡

I'm probably the only person in America who thinks this, but I'm almost of the opinion it should be mandatory in the U.S., too.
Too many stupid people in America for this to be a good thing.
Absolutely this. If people did their civic duty and at least attempted to be educated about politics, then maybe. But then again, if they were, they wouldn’t need to be compelled to vote, they’d do it on their own.

Yeah, this. I raided the office and made off with everything! Woot!
No, actually I'm the chief officer at the polls in my precinct. I have to pick up the equipment and bring it back tomorrow night, fill out the paperwork, deal with any problems, and make sure everything runs smoothly during the day.

I voted for the first time in 2004 and then again in 2008. Sadly, I don't usually make the primaries or municipal elections unless they're on the ballot during the Presidential election. I do vote for judges on occasion especially the ones I know are not crazy. As for electioneering, I did some work with Young Republicans in college which basically involved campaigning for local candidates, then this year I worked on the Ron Paul campaign, and attended a few speeches/events etc. I think I still have the sign in my living room window, haha.
Sadly, I didn't do early voting this year, so it looks like I'll have to brave the craziness tomorrow.

I didn't know that. I thought it was counting votes.
