I voted today.
Though the official voting day is next Tuesday, November 5, almost all states allow early voting either in person or by mail. In my area in California, the voting place opened on October 26. But all votes will be counted after close of business on November 5.
Ballot information were available in several languages. See the photo below. There are a few languages from India.
Will wait for November 5 to know the results.
Good that you fulfilled your duty as a conscientious citizen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Mr. KP.
DeleteNice to see various languages for directions to vote. You got a sticker. But I got a Briyani pack and cash before I went to vote. (I am not from usa).
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments seema. As always, political parties in India cheat the voters. They gave you Briyani pack and cash. Where is the quarter bottle of rum? Did not give you?
DeleteOn election day, quarter is banned. A week before election got the cheap quality liquor delivered to my home.
DeleteIf it was a kalla saraayam, your family could get Rs.10 lakh.
DeleteThat's awesome SG....I'll probably do it this weekend when it opens in my area
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that people in India get free stuff before election....unsure of its cool or not....
Thanks for your comments Dee. It is pure BRIBE. Buying votes thru bribe. If you get money, briyani and liquor and vote and then you cannot complain against the government, because they bought your vote.
DeleteIs Tamil not a common language spoken in ur area? It's not there in the announcement board.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Rajesh. In the place where I live there are more Telugu IT people.
DeleteGo Trump!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Madhu. MAGA MAGA MAGA
DeleteNice! Waiting for when I will be able to vote.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Aish. That day will come very soon.
DeleteAny crooked strategy followed by USA parties like our country parties do (liquor, biryani and cash)?
ReplyDeletepolitical parties in India cheat the voters as if they are true and honest in USA. At least they are giving Briyani pack and cash. Except presidential and vice presidential candidates we don't know who are the people in the ballot a long list. Never heard or seen them. Basically they expect to vote all REP or all DEM candidates.
ReplyDeleteI missed this post, because I was quite tied up with work and also trvelling on work.
ReplyDeleteWe must vote. That's one responsibility and duty as citizens of a democracy we all have.
Voting in a democracy is just a one-day affair. But governance of a democratic country is a 4 year or 5 year affair.
More than the voting by people, it is what politicians (of all parties) do after they have been voted to power that really defines the health of democracy.
