The Early Voting 2008 flickr group showcases photos of mail in ballots, polling places, stickers, yard signs and other political paraphernalia from those who do not procrastinate when it comes to exercising their democratic rights.
More than showcasing ballots and such, this group makes the US election campaign more personal. You get a good ground's eye view of the political process and an opportunity to connect with people who've just cast a vote and are pretty darned excited about it, or at least very excited about getting an "I voted" sticker.
It is great to have this new perspective on the political process, something other than the view from 1000ft offered by the mainstream media, but also without the vitriol that infests so many personal political blogs.
Caleb here is "throwing his vote away" for Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party candidate...
...and what's more American than early voting and apple pie?
Unfortunately I was unable to find any photos supporting McCain/Palin in the pool, yet. So if you're a Republican flickrite, you might want to help represent the senator from Arizona by adding some.
