I got the idea from the other exit poll thread. It's a bit early, but I know some people have done absentee ballots. I didn't get my information in in time, so I'm disqualifying myself from this poll. I think it would be interesting to see how Hatrack compares with the general exit polls when the 2nd rolls around.
If you want to participate (completely voluntary! I know people who don't want to share who they voted for, and I completely respect that ), please do so AFTER you vote in the 2004 American Presidential election, or after mailing off your ballot. Just say "I voted for --- ". I don't want any arguments or justification. I'm interested in a poll.
I'll try to keep a running tab, and I'll bump this on the 2nd. Happy Election Day!
Current Results are as follows: Bush/Cheney: 11 votes Kerry/Edwards: 13 votes Nader: 1 vote Swedish Chef: 1 vote Michael Badnarik: 1 vote Thomas S. Monson: 1 vote

Except for Hatrack, most Jews I know are voting for Bush. *shrug* Most years I vote Democrat. Not this year.

Most Jews will end up voting Kerry... it would take a LOT to swing the majority of Jews to the republican party.

Since this is an exit poll thread and not a debate thread I'm just going to make ONE post about this and then stop.
It makes sense for Jews to vote for Bush based on Israel because Bush has simply been the most pro-Israel president that this country has ever had. Kerry on the other hand has been playing both sides of the aisle. When speaking to Arab group in Detroit he called Israel's security fence a "barrier to peace."

Guys, come on. When an exit poll comes around, the time for getting information has passed. I made a point to say that I didn't want ANY arguments in this thread, because I don't want ANYONE to feel any sort of shame in who they voted for. That's not what America is about. Kat's right. Please start a new thread. I'd be happy enough knowing that my poll inspired one.
Plus it makes it harder for me to find the actual votes.

I am letting it be the thread it was designed to be by only posting that and no more. If someone else wants to start a new thread about it fine, but I don't feel like it especially considering how such a thread would then go into is the security fence justified in the first place, etc, etc.

I'm not going to debate the issue. And I think you should have put that link elsewhere, nfl. But among Orthodox Jews, traditionally the vast majority vote Republican. Most years, I don't. This year I did.

I would just like to take this moment to say that I'm so excited to vote this year because it will be my first time doing so! *dances*

Sorry for the double post but I wanted the first post on the second page. Revision of the rules: Please please please please PLEASE don't add your opinions to this thread! Please?
Okay, thanks.
Just say "I voted for ---". Or "---". I don't want a discussion of the Jewish contigency or the fact that I'm being a content nazi. I really just want a poll. Everything else just makes it hard for me to find the actual votes. It's a big forum out there, and I said before that I don't want anyone to feel like they have to justify who they vote for. They voted, and that should be good enough. Unless they want to participate in my exit poll.
Current Results are as follows: Kerry/Edwards: 35 votes Bush/Cheney: 28 votes Badnarik/Campagna: 4 votes Kerry/McCain: 1 vote John McCain: 1 vote Nader: 1 vote Swedish Chef: 1 vote Thomas S. Monson: 1 vote J. Halvor Clegg: 1 vote
