Do You Vote?

I can't help but notice that the polls and competitions on this site are the most heavily trafficked threads. Everyone wants their opinions to matter.

So my question to you is... do you vote in political elections?

Why?

I am seriously considering starting a horror-themed Rock the Vote campaign to get the young and disenfranchised excited about voicing their opinions in organized elections.

Yeah, I vote. If you don't , you have absolutely no right to bitch about the results.

Obama all the way.

Minnesota surprised me. I thought we'd be going with CLinton for sure, but Obama doubled her numbers here.

Well. I'm most likely going to vote in November, but the candidates I wanted all dropped (go figure).

the candidates are far from the most important thing on a ballot, young sir. Please go vote (for whomever you like) but more importantly, read about the OTHER items on the ballot.

The Ballot Measures and Propositions will have a more direct impact on your specific environment and your voice matters the most in these regards. Read up on them and vote informed!:D

So, because I'm to lazy to google anything right now, could you inform me who is running non-partisan?
I'm not very interested in the big boys this time around.
I'm just glad that Romney doesn't pose the threat of becoming president anytime soon.
I will even become a democrat to vote against his ass.

Sorry if I'm bursting anyone's peace bubble for saying that... Just my opinion. And I have nothing against either major party. Promise. <3

I turned 18 this year, and am looking forward to voting for the first time.
I do feel a bit overhwelmed, but I feel it is important.

Ditto... :(
It's hard to keep up with all these campaigns.
