I did early voting. I also ended up picking a candidate that I later found out was arrested for heroin. Moral of the story, check for news on your candidate before you vote.

@shadowferret oh boy, who?

@mewmew@blob.cat Ok, I'm gonna drop a link, but I feel I need to preface it and explain my political evolution a bit since I haven't really talked about it in whole before on here. I grew up in a Republican house. So when I was old enough to vote that's what I registered as. Then I guess you could say I had a lot of things that changed my views drastically. I ended up probably closer to a Democrat at one point in my life. (There's a lot more to this story, but I'll explain later.) Now I've kind of expanded and shifted my views a bit. I'm not really a Republican anymore, but I've just procrastinated on changing my party affiliation. (Granted I'm not really a Democrat either at this point, I'm more of a centrist/soft-libertarian type at this point.)

@shadowferret makes sense.

I would say that is pretty funny (the guy getting arrested) but honestly it's just kinda sad.

@mewmew@blob.cat yeah. Not good. However I did read up on some good candidates on the Republican side after that. I hope they get nominated for the Republican option instead.
