    Voting is just about the most important thing we can all do as citizens in a democracy. I voted absentee last week, but I'm always a little sad when I don't have the chance to go physically vote on Election Day.

    Go vote today. Then, if you want a chance at some free beer, come back here and post a photo with your BA username and an "I voted" sticker both visible. I'll pick a winner using a random number generator and send them some beer, hopefully based on Wants and whatnot.

    Bonus: predict the electoral college tally. I'll send a second-place box to a person who gets it right. If multiple people get it right, I'll draw one at random.

    Limited to the 50 states and DC--it'd be cool if the winner started a LIF of their own, but that's up to them.

    No stickers out in WA, we mostly do absentee ballots.

    Waited in line for 90 minutes. Absentee voting or early voting seems so unfulfilling to me.
    Also I voted on a paper ballot this election for the first time in a very long time - boo to scantron ovals. Give me potential chads, electronic, or GTFO.

    Hooray Democracy!

    And although it wasn't intentional, this morning I was very happy that I forgot to update my voter registration information when we moved last year. No line, no waiting at the provisional ballot table! I had to deal with the scantron papers but was out of there in 10 minutes.
