Marty for once you and I agree on something. Its bad up here in Richmond but I went down to Hatteras last weekend, Oct. 28 and NC must be electing everyone in the state to some office. I never saw so many signs on my trip down.

We only had the Allen Webb race and a House race plus 3 Constitutional amendments plus in my district a school board race whom I knew nothing about any of the candidates and I left that blank because if you don't know who you are voting for you should not vote.

I'm just wondering how much the soon to be Sheriff BUCK spent on advertising. For a year now I have been making weekly commutes to MHC from Wilmington. This dude has had billboards up for a year now. Not little signs but billboards! A month or so back there was one of those fluorescent signs along the highway inviting everyone to the BUCK for Sheriff barbecue.

Then have BUCK kiss your baby, then have BUCK clean your gutters. If this guy spends as much effort Sheriffing as he did campaigning, MHC will be the safest place in the nation..........and have the cleanest gutters!

But I agree with rest of these guys, we really do need to go fishing.

Marty,

In Virginia, you are asked for your drivers license and then are checked against the book of registered voters to see if your name appears.At that point your name is checked so you can't vote again. If you arrive with no ID you will be asked to sign an affidavit of citizenship.

In North Carolina, the election officials are barred from asking any questions, relying on a statement on the bottem of the forms that says voting illegally is illegal.

But each state sets its own rules re voting and it should remain that way. The last thing we need is Washington controlling voting procedure.

ONE HOUR LEFT IN VOTING ....AND I GET A RECORDED PHOINE CALL FROM SOME SENATOR I NEVER HEARD OF ASKING FOR MY VOTE,,,,,,,,,,,,


HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T REALIZE I AM ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST


NO VOTE FROM ME


AND WHY IS IT THAT WITH 4 % OF THE PRECINCTS COUNTED THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A WINNER?
