We are witnessing an historic election today. No matter your political preference, it is Your Right to Vote. Do you realize that women have only been able to vote in the US since 1920?
I’m encouraging You to become a part of history. Get out and Vote today.
Leave a comment with a link to a photo of yourself with your ‘I Voted Today’ sticker and I will draw a random winner for a Thank You prize pack (compact stamp press, Heidi Grace Greetings Stamps and other random goodies). Drawing to be held when the polls close.
***If your voting location does not hand out ‘I Voted Today’ stickers (or they run out), you can still leave a comment. All comments will be entered in the random drawing.

November 4th, 2008 at 7:30 amHow nice of you, I already voted. I voted the second day of early voting. Because four years ago I waited over 3 hours to vote after getting off the night shift with three small child. I said never again will I wait that long to vote. I will early vote from here on to avoid them long lines. Thanks again for the chance.

November 4th, 2008 at 8:25 amVoting has always been an important event in our household since I was a child. I am ready to go vote as soon as the polls open out here!
vickif says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:32 amI did the same….early voting. Sooooo much easier. Think every state should offer it!
Debbie C #4668 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:35 amGood luck with your U.S.voting today. However you vote you will be making history….just be sure to vote. Here in Canada we had our voting last month .
Kimberlee says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:44 amI just got back from the polls. Walked right in and voted. I was done in 5 minutes. Which is crazy becuase I heard there are places with a 2 hour wait already. But they didn’t have stickers… and I think they were getting annoyed with me since I asked 4 different people. I thought it would be cool to scrap. Thanks for the chance to win a RAK… we’re all already winners for living in a country where WE get to choose who runs it.
Sara Fink says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:55 amI am going to vote in a little while. I hope this counts as I don’t know when I will get on the computer today
Betsy #2572 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:09 amI’m all done and voted ma’am! I voted via early voting!!! (hubby is an over the road driver and normally out of town on election day and I work on tuesday’s out of the county…so we vote early)
Michelle 3624 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:12 amI’m headed that way later we have never missed a chance to vote in this house because our rule is if you don’t vote you can not complain!
Kimberley 2626 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:25 amGreat idea for a RAK! I will get a picture of my hubby and I voting and blog it.
Kimberley 2626 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:26 amStill drinking coffee…I’ll get a picture of us with our stickers. *yawn*
Karin #4472 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:28 amI can’t vote for you guys, but I did go out and vote on the 14th of October for the Canadian Election.
I’ve been following the election on the news and I’m excited to see who wins your election.
GO VOTE ladies :0)

Groovy Deborah says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:04 amI voted! Would not have missed this! Isn’t it amazing that women have only been votng for a short amount of time and yet there are many who do not participate in this right? Sad. I hope everyone remembers that it is not only a duty but a privledge

Maxine Hodges says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:11 amI voted 2 weeks ago. We have early voting and 30% of eligible voters have already voted in our county. I think this will be a record breaking number of voters.
connie #2909 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:23 amI am voting after work. My computer is down at home so won’t be to post then.
Ramona #1602 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:33 amDh and I got our ballots by mail. He was on the ball and completed his and mailed it last week. I finally finished mine this weekend, and dh dropped it off for me yesterday. They did give him an “I voted” sticker, but I don’t have it or my camera with me.
Vicki Bell #1766 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:47 amI cast my vote last week during the early voting period.
Tabatha says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:54 amI voted before coming in to work. Now I am here so early I get to catch up on my Fiskateers Fun.

Karen #4500 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:23 amI got to the polling place at 7:00am CST—and the line was long! Just like a Disney World ride!! I was SO PROUD—everyone should get out and ROCK the vote!
Becky D. says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:23 ami voted this morning!! in & out in under 15 minutes (including drive time!!)…posted my photo on my blog http://phasesofme.blogspot.com/
Stephanie #3584 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:35 amI’ll be voting, but it’ll be around 6 before I can get there, and then won’t be able to download a pic til Thursday. (I only have internet access at work and I’m off on Wed.)
Christy Tobin #4991 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:39 amVoted at 7:30, but skipped picking up the sticker,
Karen #3441 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:50 amNo sticker, but I did vote. I went on my way to work this morning. I was # 104 in my small town.
Nancy #4638 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 12:00 pmI vote by mail, so I didn’t get a sticker, but I’ve already cast my vote!!! What a privilege we still have in this nation!
NanaBeth#2906 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 12:10 pmI voted last Thursday so unfortunately my I voted is in the trash. I have always felt it was so appropriate that my birthday is the anniversary of women’s suffrage.
Tona says:
November 4th, 2008 at 12:24 pmIn our county we vote by mail so I don’t have a sticker but I’m proud to say I’ve voted every year since I was 18.
Christina Solloway says:
November 4th, 2008 at 12:49 pmI voted!! I don’t have a sticker to prove it - I got a little distracted when child #3 started pushing the “vote” button over and over again… Thanks for the chance to win!!
Marla #3291 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 12:49 pmWe vote by mail so I dont have a sticker but I mailed my ballet in days ago!!!
Cherrie # 1790 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 12:50 pmI voted and posted a picture!
HeatherQ #3770 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 1:30 pmI was in line this morning before the polls were open so that my husband could get to work on time. I was #51.
I made a scrapbook layout with the sticker instead of wearing it today. (I’m home all day — no one would see it if I wore it.)

It’ll also be on my blog in a few minutes: www.prudentscrapbooker.blogspot.com
Barb #2975 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 1:36 pmI went out to vote this morning - in and out in minutes - what a well run group! I was a little worried listening to all the talk of voting by mail / early so that the lines wouldn’t be long!
Yes, I’m wearing my “I voted” sticker… but sorry, I won’t get around to a photograph until I get around to photographing some layouts! Don’t hold your breath!
I’m off to help with the school’s mock election in a little bit. Hmmm maybe I’ll take the camera there!
Tami B. says:
November 4th, 2008 at 1:51 pmI miss the I voted sticker. I am registered as a permanent absentee voter, so I voted last week and mailed in my ballot last wednesday. The good part of that is that no matter what happens I won’t miss voting. Today my hubby’s car battery was dead and he took my car. If I hadn’t already voted, I’d be scrambling for a ride to my polling place.
Turtlelady~Sandy#1715 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 1:52 pmWe vote absentee so we don’t get stickers :=( Voted last month!!
Colleen F. 2970 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 2:40 pmI was the first person to vote in my area. However, they didn’t give up I voted stickers. I have never seen these before. I want my sticker.
Dawn W says:
November 4th, 2008 at 2:45 pmWe didn’t get stickers at my voting location. But I was #300 at 9:30 am this morning and they were so excited that they had hit that number so early in the day that they clapped for me!! We have a little over 1,000 people in our district, so that is a pretty good number for that time of day.m Oh, and I didn’t have a wait at all.
Mojjo says:
November 4th, 2008 at 2:54 pmI voted and took DS6 with me. He got to meet our congressman who gave DS his business card and asked to come speak at his school. DS now has an idol.
Eileen #4749 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 2:59 pmI spent almost 2 hours in line Sat night to early vote - so of course it looks like there are not any of the long waits that they were expecting today.
Patty Beckle says:
November 4th, 2008 at 3:18 pmJust voted. Have a picture, hate the picture, not going to post it. When you have a cold and your trying to take a picture of yourself, it just doesn’t work.
kim3timemom #2117 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 3:51 pmI just got back from voting. No stickers though
No lines either right in and right out.
Linda #4949 says:

November 4th, 2008 at 4:24 pmOur elections are not until this weekend so we are a little later than you. I must say though that I am very interested to see who wins your elections - very exciting.
Kimberley 2626 says:

Stephanie #3485 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 7:43 pmI did it. I just voted. No sticker though-they didn’t even mention them.
Carlee #2225 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:00 pmI cannot vote…not in this country at least. It is difficult to listen to people who do not vote, when I cannot, yet I pay taxes. I’m proud of all you who voted!
Patty 2832 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:03 pmWe went to vote when hubby got home from work!
I was number 300 of the day !
Woo Hoo..and instead of having to stand at a little cubicle, they gave me the big conference table where out township trustees sit for meetings! I had microphones and a gavel at my disposal! Too bad they weren’t on! LOL
I’m going to upload a pic I had Chloe take of us standing outside the town hall and in front of the lake. We also had a car parked by us that was covered in flag stickers!
thanks for the chance!
Amy G. #1803 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:07 pmI voted today, and brought my 2 girls with me to learn how to do it. I didn’t get a sticker, they didn’t have any.
But, I really did vote!!
Denise says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:15 pmHey! We live in Florida, so we went to early vote. And boy are we glad we did. Even in our small little town, there was a wait to even early vote and today there were lines outside EVERY polling place I passed. Sorry no pics.
robindiane #2953 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:21 pmI voted this afternoon. I got my sticker but now my daughter has it. I took pictures. They are on my blog: http://mylifeexpose.blogspot.com

Janet Moore says:
November 4th, 2008 at 8:42 pmI had two stickers…. I promise. But they both fell off, thus I can not take a photo for you! Thanks for the opportunity to win though… all for exercising our civic dity and being thankful for the freedoms we take for granted!
scrappymom19@yahoo.com says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:10 pmI did go vote today….I stood in line for 3 hours!!!! That was exhausting. I actually gave my “I voted” sticker to my daughter. I took her with me because she has started to express an interest (she is 9) in presidency.
Thanks for the chance to win. I hope everyone was able to make it out!
Kristin in OH #2764 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:20 pmMy dh & I went & voted at 7:00 this evening. Of course, by then, all of their stickers were gone.
Amy #4257 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 9:23 pmI voted - didnt get a sticker though, but our voting precient is soo small that could be why, but we did have peanuts and cookies. lol
[Amy] says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:26 pmi voted. i took a photo with my sticker and my receipt.

Jennifer Muller says:
November 4th, 2008 at 10:57 pmI voted! I did get an “I Voted” sticker, but my 5 month old decided to destroy it! I saved the voting stubs to put into a little mini scrapbook I’m doing of this historic election - I figure one day my girls will be learning about this election in school and how cool would it be have a little scrapbook made during the actual event!

Brenda #3635 says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:47 pmI worked as an election judge today. My precinct typically has a 25-30% turnout. Today we had a record turnout — 70%!!! How cool is that!
Kathie Jo says:
November 4th, 2008 at 11:57 pmMy daughter and I always go to the polls together. I made sure as she was growing up that knew that voting wans’t always a right afforded to women. My grandmother was born in 1908 and therefore was 12 years old when women were given their right to vote. If you know a women who is 89 years or older, you know a women who was born before we gained our right to vote!
