I voted! It was very straight forward. I waited in line to get my ballot, the "privacy folder" (legal sized manilla folder) and this little receipt thing.

Then we had to wait in line for a privacy booth. There were 8 I think, the poll workers split us into two lines but that caused some confusion. The area I live in isn't very heavy on college age people, but I did see three who looked like they were young first time votes. I did see about 8 families show up, including one girl who looked about 15, but I'm guessing was closer to 13 who did the kid voting while her dad voted.

Some people brought their voter guides, some people went in and voted quick, others took their time. I thought I knew how I was going to vote on the amendments, but I ended up changing my mind at the last minute, the only amendments that I felt strongly about were parental notification for abortion, minimum wage, and 2 medical right to know.


Oh and at work today everyone's been asking "did you vote?"

What's the medical right to know ones?

One is the Patient's right to review, upon request, records of health care facilities' or providers' adverse medical incidents, including those which could cause injury or death. Provides that patients' identities should not be disclosed.

and

Current law allows medical doctors who have committed repeated malpractice to be licensed to practice medicine in Florida. This amendment prohibits medical doctors who have been found to have committed three or more incidents of medical malpractice from being licensed to practice medicine in Florida.

Which isn't really a right to know one but it's medical.
