A similar measure was on the ballot in 2002 but failed Massachusetts question that is labeled Repeal the State Income Tax. If this doesn't pass these people must be stupid. I can't imagine people actually have a choice whether to pay taxes or not pay taxes and go ahead and mark Yes (I want to continue paying this tax). Why is it stupid? If they repeal that it means either higher property taxes or higher sales tax. You got to pay taxes somewhere.

Re: Can we get an Election Day General Discussion Thread? FWIW Quote: I just talked to one of my best Team McCain sources who told me that heading into today all the key battleground polls were moving hard and fast in their direction. The source, hardly a perma-optimist, thinks it will be a long night, but that McCain is going to win. So add this with the new Battleground poll (Obama +1.9 only) and the rising stock market... As always, take these things with a grain of salt.

Re: Can we get an Election Day General Discussion Thread? The exit polls are coming in. The CNN numbers I saw so far favor Obama big time.

Re: Can we get an Election Day General Discussion Thread? The election outcome won't impact me that much since I live in Canada, but the media build-up still has me on edge. Try to imagine how a football fan would feel if they only held the Superbowl once every four years. That's how I feel now.

Re: Can we get an Election Day General Discussion Thread? I don't know why, but I'm getting the feeling this race will be much closer than many on here believe. Here's hoping that feeling is wrong.

And I somehow doubt he'd admit to a margin bigger than necessary. Still, yeah, after 2000 and 2004, I don't blame anyone for being nervous.

Re: Can we get an Election Day General Discussion Thread? Quote: 3,000 calls in the last hour on CNN's voter trouble hotline. CNN says lines in some precincts of Virgina are 5-7 hours long.

I haven't heard of any that long personally here in VA, but my girlfriend called me a minute ago and said she waited a shade under 4 hours.

Re: Can we get an Election Day General Discussion Thread? I meant the 4-7 hour wait, but the turnout is insane too.
I wonder how many people came back to life to vote this year.
