I voted earlier today and used a touchscreen voting machine for the first time. Unfortunately it had no Voticons. One thing that is always annoying is voting for judges. All you usually have to go by is some short quip in a voting guide that basically tells you nothing. I lucked out this year between the choice of two judges since one of them made it very easy for me. In her short blurb she quoted Anthony Kennedy, which pretty much calls for a slam-dunk decision to vote for the other person.
Unfortunately my representative, Corrine Brown of Jacksonville, ran unopposed. I suppose nobody from my district was corrupt enough to replace her. She once referred to the Bush Administration as a "racist" "bunch of white men" and told a Cuban-American Representative that "you all look alike to me". She is good for comic relief though and she keeps some people employed just as long as they are ethics investigators.

A short quip in a voting guide? Luxury! Why, the only guide I got on judges was a tilda over an “n” in one of the candidate’s names, indicating how to pronounce it.
