yeh, i'm registered independent. i voted for obama on this here post-it note, though, and stuck it to a pack of gum.

I voted this morning.

I also re-registered as an independent.

I don't understand why you have to register as anything. Wisconsin didn't used to make me do this--is this a new trend or does it vary state to state?

You don't have to register in Illinois as any party. But you have to claim a party before you vote. Illinois is going to Obama (and funny enough, you hardly ever see Republican candidate signs around in Chicago), so I made a conscious decision to be independent since I know where this state is going. If it were a tight race, I probably would have voted for Obama. Though, I'd have second thoughts about it afterwards.

Georgia has a sheet you fill out with your name address, etc. At the top you check a box for dem or rep. I'm not registered as either.

I will vote and complain, thank you very much.

did you go to the embassy to vote?

I voted for Obama. It's time to flush the boomers. Yes, I know Obama is technically a boomer but not so much to be a douchebag about everything.
