Do You Vote In County, State, Or National Elections

Do you vote ? I have not voted since 1972. I burned my I.D. 30 years ago, and never could register to vote, even if I wanted to. Now I have I.D. again , but still have never voted. I always have this feeling that it doesn't count for anything anyway, and that most elections are probably rigged in some way.

What do you think.?

 

Voting is silly.

Unless it's in county or a local government.

 

I vote in every election. My vote will never really count for president as Alaska will always give their three electoral votes to to Republican party, but I truly believe your vote can count particularly on local issues.

I think everyone eligible should vote. Even if you don't feel like voting for the lessor of two evils as is the case in many elections, vote for a third party candidate or write someone in.

 

I have voted in every election since I turned 21, voted absentee while in the military and when I lived in Peru. Voting is everyones right, duty and responsibility. Voting is most asuredly is not silly. A handful of votes would have given us Gore and not the idiot we have. Whether the election is rigged or not I'll be damned if I'll sit on my ass and let someone else make choices for me. I have never nor will I ever vote for a republican. I vote Democratic or 3rd party.

 

I vote.

 

I'm with "Freein Alaska" :


In Alaska we have the total population of around 600,000 .So I do feel my vote does count, at least on the local and state levels.
I am a registered Independent so I make my own choices and don't follow party lines.
The voice of the people spoke loud in our last election. Our incumbent Governor
pissed so many people off he only pulled 18% of the primary and didn't make it to the general election.
Freeinalaska will probably agree, we now have the foxyest governor in all 50 states. And she is sharp!

I vote.

 

I don't vote. I never even signed up to vote yet.

 

I vote in everything. It might not help, but it can't hurt and after all, it is not a challenging thing to do and so I might as well. People who are too lazy to bother to vote sicken me.

 

I am a regestered voter, and voted like crazy the past two presidential elections....i have to say, i have absolutely no faith in our system...especially the electoral college.

Plus, I dont wanna get called for jury duty. Did it once. The youngest person in the jury by like 15 years. And I was the head juror. had to represten the jury to the judge, begin delliberations. I did my civic duty!(and I dont wanna do it again....)
so i am afraid to vote.... in that sense

 

I vote! The need for voting seems to increase when certain local proposals become dangerous. On occation a proposal may affect the area it effects in a positive matter, and thus it would a shame if the proposal would not pass.

Even though elections may not always be counted out to their founding democratic principle of 'every vote counts,' if one does not vote, one is still letting the system keep themselves down. In numbers people can change something. Isn't that why people still vote in the day and age, the hope that the new term will be better then the past term?

 

Your vote counts. That's the whole piont of free speech. I vote in every poll and election that I can.
