precint19- we have the option of voting early in NM. i voted two weeks ago. we do have secret balloting but just in case anyone is interested, here's how i voted: i DID NOT VOTE for a single republican. (even though ONE of them was fully competent)<g> i wanted to send a message that the top dogs in the (R) party have gone berserk and that no one in that party will get my vote until things change. they all put on compassionate masks at election time and give exactly the same answers to questions as the democrats do... but after the election they do exactly the opposite. did bush tell you he was going to renege on the kyoto treaty, declare war on iraq, and open up the arctic natl. wildlife refuge to oil drilling? did he say he was going to slap tariffs on steel and lumber? did he say that the UN is irrelevant and that america should act unilaterally with pre-emptive attacks on "evil axis" nations while remaining immune to any international courts of law? if he mentioned any of these things before the election, they sure got by me. there were a couple of democrats i did not vote for also. even one who was running unopposed for district court judge... IMO he's an unethical jerk. i voted AGAINST all the bonds for infrastructure improvements. when times are tough, bite the bullet and make do with what you have already. billions more are going to our military budget this year... if you need sewer improvements or library books, cut back on bullets and re-route the spending or bite bullets and do without - your choice. cutting taxes while increasing spending does not compute for me. it's voodoo economics. (yes, i realize that we're talking about different budgets - state and county vs. federal --- and property taxes vs. income taxes - but i'm sending the message that all these budgets are connected - in that they ALL INVOLVE ME and people i vote for or against... and all these overseers of our various budgets had better get their act together on the federal, state, AND local levels.) i voted FOR all the (state) constitutional amendments. most of them were to correct obsolete wording in old laws or to benefit seniors and veterans. i voted to retain the district and metro judges that are competent and i voted to NOT retain a couple of judges who have made a-holes of themselves in the past two years. whether my vote gets counted properly or not... i'll never know. i didn't know until the last general election in 2000 that thousands of votes get thrown out or are not counted every election for many different reasons. i think i'd rather just have a show of hands and watch as the hands are counted. -juan q. publik
