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).

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

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

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.
