I voted today — I wrote in Ron Paul.   I didn’t vote for any democ­rats or repub­li­cans (I’m a reg­is­tered repub­li­can) out side of Ron Paul.  Every other vote was for some­one out­side those two par­ties.   I don’t trust the Diebold machines they are using (I also think they are the ones banned in the Cleve­land area).   There was hardly any pri­vacy and some­one with good eyes would have been able to see the printed ver­i­fi­ca­tion page.  The vot­ing took place in a church which despite the mes­sage of embrac­ing hte com­mu­nity, I still feel vio­lates the the seper­a­tion of church and state.

I wasn’t going to vote, and I prob­a­bly will never vote again unless, some­one inspires con­fi­dence in me like Ron Paul did.  Do I think that a write-in canidate has a snowball’s chance in win­ning?  No I don’t.  So essen­tially I just ran­dom picked peo­ple that weren’t in the pri­mary par­ties for every­thing else, and more or less voted willy nilly on things — does this make it so I have a write to com­plain?  Too many peo­ple say you can’t com­plain if you don’t vote.  I call bull­shit on that.   If it’s apa­thy and lazi­ness, maybe your right.  If you make a con­cious and informed deci­sion to be pigeon­holed into a yes or no answer, into choos­ing the lesser of two evils, you may be right.

I have no faith in vot­ing for pres­i­dent, I don’t trust the elec­toral col­lege, I’m also vot­ing in Ohio — so enough said on that side.  The whole process needs to be redone and sorted out.
