Election Day in The OC
“The new phonebooks are here, the new phonebooks are here!” (Hat Tip to the commenter for the correction, it was late and I had to get up way early)
What, am I the only one old enough to get that Steve Martin Joke?
So it’s election day, yup that time of the year where you enter the voter’s booth scratching your head and then leave the voter’s booth scratching your head. You’ve been pounded over the head with negative ads, signs, banners, and yes, even the dying art of bumper stickers.
Here in Orange County we have had to survive the voter switching scandal, the Tan Letter scandal (still more to come on this one), poll guards, nasty (and I mean beyond nasty) politicking in the heart of Orange County. And who is to say that tomorrow will go smoothly, with my experience on election day it almost never goes smoothly.
So with all of this in mind here are a few links to help you make up you mind (bi-partisan I might add):

And after deciding on the judges, the ballot measures, the state constitutional offices, Senate, to cut the red wire or the blue wire, the circumference of a square, and finding your car after figuring out your ballot (it could be worse, they could be butterfly ballots) come on down to Santa Ana for:
THE LAST TALLY
@ Proof in the Artist District
9:00 to 2:00am
Watch the results streaming from across the county. statewide, and nationwide.

Hello Mike.
The correct quote from the gas station scene is “The new PHONEBOOK’s here! The new PHONEBOOK’s here!” which you must have that confused with “these cans are defective.”
Remember to check your facts before posting. Especially when speaking politically. Otherwise you come across as ignorant.
Thanks for the correction. Who knows maybe the voting machines are defective?
No voting problems here, except for having to vote on Calvary Chapel property. You posted the “lots of links” post before I could!
