Just a reminder that "One-Stop" EARLY VOTING HAS BEGUN here in North Carolina.

I will be working the Oriental precinct polling location on November 4, election day, but hopefully everyone will have voted by then.

So far, almost 17% of the approximately 6,000 registered voters now living in Pamlico County have voted!

At poll-worker training last night we were told to expect plenty of E-day voters, however... looks like this won't be your standard less-than-50%-turnout kind of election.

REMEMBER VOTERS:

MARKING THE "STRAIGHT TICKET" CHOICE ON YOUR BALLOT
WILL NOT RESULT IN A VOTE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

YOU MUST VOTE A CHOICE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION ON YOUR BALLOT for your vote to count in the Presidential race ...you can then ALSO select a "straight ticket" for North Carolina state candidates if you wish, but make sure you vote separately in the Presidential choice on your ballot.

This is true WHETHER YOU VOTE ON A MACHINE OR USE A PAPER BALLOT.

(Write your NC state legislators if you think that is screwy... It is so by NC statute, and only the legislature can change it)

Also, if you wish to vote for JUDICIAL CANDIDATES, they WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN A STRAIGHT TICKET VOTE, for the logical reason that judicial races are non-partisan in NC... since judges don't run by party affiliation, the straight party ticket selection will not affect these races.


Oh, and McCain supporters please remember that I have previously posted a picture of a McCain yard-sign, on October 3.
