Track statewide results onlinehttp://vote.wa.gov/Elections/WEI/?ElectionID=32
Results will start to be posted at 8pm PST, when the “polls close.” (Never mind that the state has eliminated polls.)

thanks!I updated the links above.  There are still some polls in Pierce Co. and also voting stations for people with disabilities.  But yeah, essentially it’s a ballot drop deadline rather than a literal “polls closed” time.

Woo-hoo!Go Lurleen!
Just getting settled into my room at Holiday Inn; saw Jesse C speaking w/press (WMTW) in the lobby, so knew I was at the right place!

Lurleen the polls seem to be at your back59% APPROVE, your extraordinary work is paying off, I couldn’t be happier.

I live in Oklahomabut I “bugged” my nice gentleman friend in Washington state to be sure and drop off his ballot in the mail today.
If you would indulge me. My IM with him last night.
Me: Hey are you voting tomorrow?
Friend: No
Friend: voting for?
Me:There are some referendums up for vote
Him: (Scratches chin emoticon)
Me: Referendum 71
Him: I don’t know what that one is.
Me: It’s to keep the domestic partnership law on the books
Him: Oh ok, I seen that one on the TV
Me: It’s a good law to keep.
Him:  Ok
Him: (scratches chin emoticon)
Me: http://approvereferendum71.org/
Me: It’s not just about lesbian and gay relationships. There are lots of straight couples with domestic partnerships.
Him: I think everyone should have equal rights
Me: (hug emoticon)
Him: don’t you think?
Me: Yes
Me: Do you have the ballot?
Him: Not on hand.
Me: Yeah. Equal repersontation.
He: Representation
Me: I can’t spell sometimes
Me: lol
Him: (silly emoticon)

Seattle should be NUTS tonightWhen MN hosted all the Men’s choruses for the first GALA event, Seattle’s chorus I think was larger than San Francisco’s. Either you have a MASSIVE LGBT community, or all of them sing really really well.

wasn’t all Men’s choruses, there was mixed and women’s choruses too

Your welcome LurleenThank you for all your hard work.

P.S. I’m going to follow up and make sure he drops off his ballot.  

I’m sure there’s a Singin’ in the Rain joke in there somewhere…  Although, today is a gorgeous fall day with blue skies and blazing leaves.  A perfect day to post a ballot, I’d say.

XX OO>>>> hugs <<<<

a nice day for HATE to losespeaking of nice days, I need to go wash more of the siding on the house(I started yesterday got about 20 feet wide done), beside I’m nervous waiting for results, so I might as well do something useful.

Ah here is my opening… To all Disaffected Roman Catholics…from a friend.

Listen closely. This is important. You are living in Maine, or Washington or CA or Anywhere USA. You were raised Roman Catholic and were baptised and probably confirmed in that faith system. You are now an atheist and hold absolute hatred for that Church. Do I have your attention? Do I really have your attention? Do you really want to make a statement that will mean something?
OK. ! The first thing that you must understand that UNLESS YOU RENOUNCE YOUR CATHOLICISM, AND EXCOMMUNICATE YOURSELF (IN LATIN, EXCOMMUNICATIO PRO SE), YOU ARE STILL CONSIDERED A ROMAN CATHOLIC, A MEMBER OF THE POPE’S JURISDICTION, A MEMBER OF THE BISHOP’S DIOCESE, AND A MEMBER OF YOUR PARISH.
I can hear you NOW!!! Expletive, Expletive, Expletive……I do not give a ……expletive……what the Catholic Church does with my membership. I haven’t darkened their door in decades….I hate the religion. I am an atheist.. I hate all magic shows……those goddammned paedophiles……etc….
Again, flood the diocesan phone banks, call your parish church…….EXCOMMUNICATE YOURSELF….TELL THEM TO TAKE YOUR NAME OFF THEIR GODDAMNED COMMUNICANT ROLES. Imagine the stunned monsignori at the Diocesan offices, or Father at the local parish. Send the Pope an excommunication letter at the Vatican City website, but TELL THE MAINE CATHOLIC HOMOPHOBIC LEADERS THAT THE LAST STRAW HAS BEEN DRAWN….AND YOU ARE EXCOMMUNICATING YOURSELF.
THE CATHOLIC CLOSET MUST BE CLOSED. If you have never officially left the Catholic Church, you are still considered and counted as one of their sheeple. STOP THE PAIN, STOP THE LIES, STOP THE HYPOCRISY SO THAT ……………THEY……………….KNOW IT.

Now this is a good idea. Personally I will do this soon, but right now my MIL is 90, my FIL was Deacon of the Church I was married in…and MIL is supportive fully of my SIL and her female partner. So will be waiting a while to do.
For now I will wear Rainbow/Equality attire and leave a note to same in collection plate of any Catholic function I am forced to attend.

Talked to a friend of mine last nightHaven’t seen her awhile but it seems her school work is in a lapse so she’s actually on Skype for the first time in months.
Me: Man, election day is tomorrow.
Her: Yeah, my ballot’s somewhere in the mail pile.
Me: Err, I need you to vote. Really badly.
Her: Why?
Me: Remember R-71?
Her: …OH! CRAP! When is the deadline?
Me: Tomorrow, sometime around 8PM. You need to vote. _I_ need you to vote.
Her: Damnit, I’ve ignored by ballot the past three years because there wasn’t really anything important on there. Gotta find it! Thanks for reminding me!

woo hoo!great work!  make sure she knows the 8 pm deadline is for drop boxes, not mail boxes!  if she wants to mail it, she needs to be sure it’ll get postmarked today, not just dropped in a mailbox.  

good work, LurleenI’m blogwhoring your work and Louise’s all over Twitter and FB.

Thank you Pam!!!XO to you and the Mrs.
