    Don't Forget to Vote!

    As some of you may have noted, I'm a bit political ;)

    I don't care if you agree with me or not, go vote. Democracy only works when the people vote.

    This country, this government is "We the People" and it only functions when "We the People" help choose the direction of this great nation.

    Grubendol-I couldn't agree more(on needing to vote:D )!

    My civic duty for the day is done. I ran out at lunchtime. If nothing else, I get to Bi*ch and Complain because I took part!

    :cheers:

    I love wearing my "I Voted" sticker all day, sadly I have to be at work well before the polls open, so I can't vote til I get home.

    I didn't get a sticker :(

    I am sure my son would have taken it from me anyway. He is still asking why kids have to live in this democracy but not don't get to vote! For his school paper on why he loves fall.. his answer was election time. He's only 9 now.. I wonder how it will be 9 years from now when he can vote!

    I was frustrated last night by the fact that I had to vote on a Provisional Ballot even though I had my registration card with me.

    Provisionals aren't counted until ten days after the election, and then only if the races are close enough to need it. I got a placebo ballot. I know my votes wouldn't have changed anything, but with tens of thousands of other provisionals in the state, it might have made a difference somewhere and besides all that it's the principle of the thing.
