[USA] Did you vote today?

[[CiA]Stiletto]

I did! First election.

 

[Speed_Demon]

Nope, I'm too young.................. Vote Tom Kean Jr.!






+1 post count

 

[Troels]

Thank God you put in the third option.

 

[Maus]

Unfortunately no. Illinois office candidates tend to be a bunch of crooks anyway...

 

[Mr._Kong]

im not old enough silly.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Yes I did (and yes I voted for Tom Kean Jr. in NJ)

 

[WickedPenguin]

Voted bright and early. Just got back from taking my wife to vote.

Feels good. Damn good.

99% of politicians are crooks/sleazy/scandal-mongers.

I voted. The only way we can really change the government (short of revolution) is to vote out ALL incumbents. It won't happen, but it would be a wake up call to politicians.

 

[Maschine Pistole-38]

I did not vote, frankly I could care less about mid-term elections. Maybe in two years I might care a bit more.

 

[Wolfstuka]

I didn't vote (too young) and just to make my vote more exciting for this poll I picked not a US citizen.

My personal opinion, voting is pretty dumb. All you do is the pick the person who seems to be less of a liar. No thanks. You never know if you picked the right person, for every good thing a politician does, the WILL screw up equal or more the value of said good deed.

Now just what the heck is wrong with a revolution?

Got gypped by misunderstanding the registration stuff here. I filled out ALL the usual registration stuff online, which apparently wasn't my registration, but just a form to fill out to get the form to get my registration.

Bet if I spoke Spanish, I'd have got registered.

 

[Mormegil]

Voted by mail last week.

Spent a few hours today calling registered voters who usually don't vote on midterms to remind them to vote and tell them where their polling location is.



It amazes me how many new democracies have voter turn out in the +95%.

So in this country, after minorities (1/4 of the population) and women had spent centuries to get the vote, we're lucky to get 50% in a midterm. All this while we fight a war to bring democracy to two nations.


My opinion is, if you don't do the least to make a difference, you don't really have a lot of clout when it comes to complaining.

Would you vote for Nixon... or Kennedy? There is a difference alright. Sometimes larger than others though.

 

[Hyperion2010]

I voted absentee.

I thought I had registered the same time I did for the draft.

What a ****ty to find out that was not the case.

 

[Crusher]

USA should have forced voting system, like Belgium
