foreveryoung001 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Without taking a political position, I would just like to encourage those from the U.S., who are of voting age, to remember to cast your vote. No matter who you support, it is an exciting time to view the political climate in America. Make your opinion count, and go vote Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair?

Beiner Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 An educated voter is better, but people can and will always vote for dumb things. Like the color of the tie the candidate was wearign during his final speech. We covered this stuff in polisci. It's ammusing from a non partisan viewpoint to go over the scimantics of the presidential election in my poli sci class, as Im Canadian were privied to a unique point of view to the american elections, yes they have adirect impact on us, but we don't have any say. So we chill out grab a beer, and sit back and watch it happen all the while laughing as just as in Canada there are only 2 choices.

doubletwist Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Well, in my precinct, with the exception of the Presidental race, it was hardly worth bothering to be an "educated" voter. 90% of the items being voted on were uncontested. Mostly for judges. The only ones that had more than one choice were the Prez, a House of Rep seat and the County Tax Assessor. Oh well... I voted. First time ever.

Beiner Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 What I loev down there is the electoral sysetm. While its tradition for the electorates to put forward the common concensous of teh state, they dont have too. But they always do. SO the electorates are ultimatley a waste of your money guys, as all they do is put forward your votes.
