November 8: Civic Duty

San Diego, CA

A few of these United States are having by-elections (as the British call them) today. Certainly the local ballot with a hotly contested mayoral race combined with the Governator’s* sponsored referendums for California make voting an important duty. I did so, and I suspect that none of my choices will be the winners. ;-(.

Our voting place is where they store the snow plows. Kinda the same, but different, lol! Like the Fishy look.

They were voting in really strange places where I'm working also.

Good journalistic shot!

I haven't voted a winner in years. I feel your pain.

Good shot and editorial Robin.

Yes, here in the 'burbs, we vote in people's garages.

Love the selective coloring!

At least you voted. Now you can rightfully complain about the candidates in office. Very strange place to go vote, though. Somebody's garage?

Nice shot!

Nice use of color and desaturation. That is an interesting polling place. Is that someone's home?

laine82		08-Nov-2005 23:08
I hope you get what you wish for.

We call them by-elections! So you didn't make Arnie's day, then?

Nice perspective and selective coloring. My votes never work out either.--Rene

Well done,picture and vote.

Guest		08-Nov-2005 18:55
Agreed ! The important thing is to VOTE! Nice pic Robin!

We are having municipal elections here and have all our senses battered about by advertising and signage. Good to get out and vote.

Lee Rudd		08-Nov-2005 18:16
40 percent turnout is high! good use of selective colouring

Ya but you'll have the right to complain. I voted last week, and dropped off my ballet with two or three seconds to spare as they were closing. Nice DOF, but all those empty poll booths.:<(
