I voted before class this morning by dropping off my completed mail-in ballot at my assigned polling place. Got my “I Voted” sticker. Technically, I can drop the ballot off at any polling place in Los Angeles County. But I chose to go to my assigned polling place just in case. It’s only 0.8 mi away, so it was a nice walk.

Looking through the door, it looked like they had tons of semi-old computer stuff.

And it was an entirely voluntary, self-organized, decentralized, independent effort on the internet. Must be the “spammers” I keep hearing about!
Ron Paul
Why Students support Ron Paul:
I was tempted to donate myself, but I decided not to, as I haven’t yet decided which candidate to support. The effort was organized on the internet at teaparty07.com, and I am impressed with how well they did. Their goal was $10 million in a single day; that would have far, far surpassed any previous records– but even $6.04 million is incredible.
