There are only a few reasons I think people should abstain from voting: if you have no idea who the heck you want to vote for, if you are planning to toss a coin, or play eenie-meenie-minie-moe with the voter card, or pick the person whose name starts with your favourite letter, or vote for the person with the nicest suit, or vote for the person who reminds you of your grampa or your uncle or your elementary school teacher or whatever.
Rachel, I agree that voting in ignorance is no good thing, but...it may be preferable to never voting at all. At the very least, a person can vote for the things they care about or understand and leave the rest blank...but so many people just stay home and can't be bothered, and that is SO frustrating!
Kit, I'm glad you made it and didn't have to wait all day. Did you figure out the whole judge issue? I hope it wasn't to difficult...
Rachel, I'm glad you laughed...because people like that man? Are laughable.
I am mum to a twenty-year-old evil genius son (of course, I may be biased) and the clever and beautiful force of nature, twelve-year-old Sprout. They and my cats conspire to deprive me of sleep and sanity on a regular basis. I live in Redneck Central with my kids and cats. I call our home "Casa de Crazy" for a reason. It could be because I'm nuttier than a Claxton fruitcake. I have a foul disposition and the manners of a troll. What's not to love?

Otherwise, I'm with you Kyddryn!

You can't have a PSA without the logo!

Oops, sorry, Charlie, you are correct!
But eh, whatever - I'm not known for playing by any rules but my own. :-)
Welcome, by the way.
