Early Voting
So I went to cast my vote against socialism today (ha!), and lo and behold when I get there they have signs plastered all over the walls (ok, maybe not "plastered all over", but multiple signs) asking people not to talk, or voice any political opinions while waiting in line because of the "nature of this office". No hats, t-shirts, buttons, etc.
Ok, so what they're really saying here is: "As it is the nature of this office to encourage you to exercise your constitutional rights, we therefore require that you wave those same constitutional rights."
What a load of crap.
(And yes, I tucked my tail betwen my leggs and wordlessly complied.)

Actually I believe they require that by law so there is no undue influence at the voting place, by individuals or volunteers for certain parties, ahem, past or present!
So you have to waive your constitutional rights so that you don't risk the possibility of influencing anyone? Wow... I think they need to reevaluate their priorities here. Isn't the constitution supposed to be the supreme law of the land?
Result of a voting quiz: You Should Maybe Be Allowed to Vote
You got 9/15 questions correct.
You're somewhat in the know, but you're not as informed as you think you are. Your political information is a little old or incorrect.
Consider studying up a bit before you cast you vote! You want to make sure you know where you stand.
Should You Be Allowed to Vote?

Yep, that sounds about right... too bad it's too late now. Muhahaha.
