Reason(s) "I" don't or won't vote:
 

I know we've heard countless excuses why our family members, co-workers, or friends will not or have not voted. What are some of the excuses you've heard over the years?

There is a girl in one of my classes that said she just didn't know anything about any of the candidates. I told her to go on the internet and research the candidates. IMO there is no reason not to vote. It seems like the same ones who don't vote are always the people who are complaining.:)

I've heard people say their precinct changed, etc. and become frustrated when having to locate their correct area. In this PK society, I am sure there have been changes, BUT we've known about this election for weeks. Do not wait until the morning of the election to verify your polling precinct. :rolleyes:

The two main reasons I've heard are:

1. (For Presidential elections) The electoral college..."My state is largely democrat/republican so my vote doesn't matter."

2. "No candidate is really looking out for my interests anyway." or the more poetic "Voting is like choosing which bullet I'm getting shot with"- Andre 3000 (he has since changed his mind).

Good reason: I'm not a citizen yet.

The person that I want to vote for isn't going to win so I won't waste my vote.

LMAO
Same time here. I got up an extra 15 minutes early so I could vote before I went to work.

^^ this is my reason... so since I can't vote, I don't support any one vocally

I still vote in Kollyfornia... ;)

So if I can vote there, then anyone can vote...

The number one reason I hear>>>> "My vote will not make a difference, so what's the point?"

Ugghhh, that angers me when I hear that! :mad:

I have heard that and when the so called person is whining about how the goverment is going I give them a nice cup of STFU!

If you are eligible to vote and don't, then you don't have jack to say!

The first thing I did when I moved to Cali was register to vote at the DMV! I voted this morning after my workout

good for you.

I wondered about my good friend AKA2D'91's opening this thread today; wondered if she was engaging in some GC voter suppression. ;) :D

I misplaced mine (still unpacking so who knows where it is and still went to the polls. I had my ID ready but didn't need it
