The South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race values the importance of participation in community life. Election Day provides a great opportunity for individual citizens to shape the future of our two towns. Although we do not endorse candidates, our non-profit, non-partisan group urges all residents to vote today!

Come on folks....Get out there and vote early and vote often!!!!
wait, this isn't Chicago, nevermind. Just vote once, but you can sign multiple petitions as long as you promise to vote for the petitionee...or something
The point is GO VOTE. If you vote at Clinton the guy on the steps playing the 12 string guitar is me. |

Duncan - why don't you play at Town Hall for those of us who vote there? I expect that there will be a problem parking & music will keep us calm.

I voted this morning, but I'd vote again to hear duncan play the 12 string.
Duncan will you be playing anything from side 2 of 2112? |

The process is slower than usual because the touch-screen voting machines are being used. My wife needed a 10-minute explanation and she was a little confused when she got inside. |

I did go out and voted.
What a pain the new machines are.
"Oh your vote isn't recording ... Oh the power is off."
Why did they change the machines. Someone's brother in law in the business. |

The screen on my new machine seemed to be wavy--making the print fuzzy and out of focus! And, the print is pretty small. (I tried with/without glasses, etc. and still couldn't make out some of the print!)
And, I could barely see, much less read, the lower part of the screen where the Republicans were. (I'm only 5'4""--what a challenge it must be for those over 6'!!)
These machines are going to be a real treat when we have propositions to vote on.
And, we didn't even get our sample ballots for this election! (Thanks Maplewood Post Office--I know we didn't get a mail delivery 2 times this month--at last I've found that stuff is really missing!)
On the bright side--no lines. It is worth it to go exercise our right to vote and learn about the new machines.
Oh yes, they no longer manufacture, or, I guess, service, the old lever voting machines--these new machines represent one of those sad "one steps back" attributable to the improvements in technology! |

The District 20 ballot was correct in the voting booth. Thanks to whoever was able to get the change made in time! Anyone know if they were able to correct the District 1 ballot as well?
Voting in the new booth was not difficult once I understood it was a touch screen and I needed to touch the small white square in the larger square bearing the name of the candidate I wanted to vote for. There was no wait to get into the booth. Print seemed clear enough with my usual perscription glasses. Voter turn out was light, only about 50 -60 persons had voted in District 20 by about 4:40 PM.
If you haven't voted yet, please do so. |
