Skipped b/c lack of knowledge of candidates/issues
Skipped b/c I didn't care
No, the election is tomorrow.
Doesn't matter - some have already voted
AND......!!!!
This last weekend's withdrawal of Scuzzyfava from the New York 23rd district congressional special election HIGHLIGHTS the complete idiocy of voting early.
The election here was an all-mail election. Makes it real easy to vote because you don't have to go anywhere. So I sent in my ballot last week. Can't wait to find out if our civil unions (WA state) will remain.
Washington's system of voting is pretty interesting. Are you hoping the civil unions will remain, or be struck down? We have a gay marriage referendum question here too. It asks to repeal the recently passed law permitting gay marriage in Maine. (I voted No on repealing.)
You guys have elections? For what?
Next year, my state is going to be a total crapfest of election material.
A combination of these two options. I rarely vote in the off-year elections. Just a bunch of stupid local issues and candidates which I don't care about enough to study.
Local issues are, or at least ought to be, more important to daily life than national issues....
I've voted in every election since I was old enough to. Still amused by folks who don't vote who show up at political discussion forums and have comments to boot.
Which issues do you refer to by "all of these issues" and tell me, aside from internet forums what voice do you by definition have, that matter in any substantive way, otherwise?Oh? Are all these issues reliant on electoral participation? I avoid it on account of its uselessness, not my lack of thoughts/sentiments on political issues. :shrug:

I've found some I agree with on some issues, but as I've grown older I realize that there will never be *one* that is a perfect match. I also must sadly state that every election I have voted in came down to a matter of the 'lesser of two evils' for me. Most people I know who vote, regardless of ideology, feel the same way.It's kind of hard to find a political candidate I agree with.

Yes and even though I believe we might be diametrically opposed on political issues, I agree with you here!I will be voting later today. I have never missed voting in an election since I came of age. I feel it to be a civic duty. I feel those that do not vote have no right to complain.
