Ursa Majoris Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 So over one in three didn't vote? Freakin' unbelievable. There's one group with zero right to flap their gums about any issue for the next four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I didn't vote. The two party system is BS, so why waste my time endorsing it? Those who choose to vote are the ones that shouldn't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I only wish I lived in Alaska, so I could be so proud to vote for a convicted felon. I'm embarrassed for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 would be interested why others didnt vote. if for the reason as mine, why not have a discussion to hybrid the voting process. I was stuck overseas and didn't get back until late last night. I was planning to be home last Saturday, so i did not get an absentee in.

There was the ballot issues like the constituional convention...which I voted against. And local elections that effect you more than the national ones. In the ten local races I voted 8 republicans and 2 democrats. For state rep voted democrat as I know her fairly well. State senator...voted republican. Someone please tell me why the Coroner has a party designation? Voted for Obama/Biden even though I didn't want too....and of course I voted for Durbin because he is a rather effective Senator that I don't always agree with...but he is effective.

Outshined Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I didn't vote. The two party system is BS, so why waste my time endorsing it? Those who choose to vote are the ones that shouldn't complain. Why not vote for the independent or somebody else? I think your endorsing it more by not voting. Not to get off subject, Minnesota had 77% voter turnout. The U.S. senate race between Coleman and Franken is about tied. Out of the 2.7 million votes, the difference is 435. They are going to recount the ballots by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieFries Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I only wish I lived in Alaska, so I could be so proud to vote for a convicted felon. I'm embarrassed for them. I never understood this rule/law. Why is it a lot of states take away the right to vote if you've been convicted of a felony but you can still run for office?

It's a way to get Palin into the Senate. When Stevens is sentenced, his seat will become available, nd allow Sarah! to run for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wow. I am a very typical Coloradan apparently. Every single Amendment and Referendum (14 of them) passed or failed exactly the way I voted on it. Also every local candidate I voted for got elected. Also the one country judge I voted not to retain was ousted. This was a good election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltosis Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I was a bit pissed off this year. When I renewed my license in December I registered to vote. Apparently the good people at the DMV didnt pass this info on, so when i went in flex my democratic muscle I was turned away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it a lot of states take away the right to vote if you've been convicted of a felony but you can still run for office? Yep, the "you can't vote for Congress, but you can vote in Congress" rule seems a little bit messed up, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
