Vote Today

[Jay Bee]

My daughter texted me a picture of the long voting lines at the Union.  I heard from other parents that the wait was as long as 2 hours.

I am just happy the youngsters are taking their civic responsibility so seriously......

You got a pic of the daughter and her friends at the Union to share?  Has there always been voting there?... I think I remember going to some school across the street from The Rave...

At my polling place there were signs that said, "as a courtesy, please turn off your cell phones"... chick behind me was yapping on her phone inside the voting area nonstop and loud... the guy in front of me has his phone ring and had some awful song on full blast, then let it go for about 8 seconds before pressing a button to shut i up.  I asked that both be arrested.

Also, chuckled when I saw "Richard B. Strong" was on the ballot.

Grand Ave school if I remember correctly.

Dick Strong!?!?

In downstate Illinois last year,  a candidate named Rich Whitney had his name misspelled on the ballot.  Imagine going to vote and finding that the Democratic nominee was "Rich Whitey".

Are you smoking a joint right now?

If he is worried about the FBI he isn't.  States can pass all of the marijuana legalization they'd like, but the Federal Government still says it is illegal.

Having said that, the Federal Government can't possibly police all of the marijuana trade.  Maybe when a few more states pass legalization then the Federal Government will consider taking up a bill. 

What I've always wondered is that when this legislation passes on a state level can employers still drug test for it?  Can company policy still say that you need to pass a drug test that includes marijuana if it has been legalized?  I'm guessing yes, they can.

They certainly can.  There are companies that won't hire tobacco users, and they test for it.  Being a smoker isn't any kind of protected class. I suppose it can get a little tricky if you have a "prescription".  Then it could be covered under HIPPAA.

Yeah that is pretty much what I was thinking.

I don't see why not. Can't be under the influence when working.

Employers can test for BAC and they can say no guns in their offices.
