Are You Registered to Vote?

[Senusret I]

For my class, I don't know what the consequences were. We all did it.

For Alpha, if you're not registered, you can't join.

And as for not seeing the difference in not registering and not voting, that's because you're stuck in the two-party matrix. I have very rarely stayed loyal to the Democratic party in national elections. I've voted Republican in local elections. In fact, I've voted for Dems, Republicans, Green Party, DC Statehood Party, and the Socialist Party. And even if my candidate doesn't win, I can sleep well at night because I voted for who I felt was best. And i CAN vote because I registered.

If you don't think like that, fine. But if you're waiting around for "them" to put up a quality candidate, then you're wasting time unless you're volunteering for political parties yourself.

For the record...if Rudy Giuliani DID run for Pres, I would register and vote for him.

I had that kind of time to volunteer, I would. I don't.

what if you're not American? I'm not American so of course I'm not registered to vote, which sucks because if you can take Medicare and Medicaid outta my check, I sure as hell should be able to vote.

Not to be nosy, but what happens if an aspirant is accepted in every way BUT they are not American or they have a felony and they cant vote or are unable to register?

We have plenty of non-American Alphas, so I am sure there is some sort of allowance made for them. I am American, so I never looked into it.

I'm also not sure that someone with a felony would be invited to membership, but hey anything's possible.

I am registered and have been since I can remember...
As a result (i believe) I have had jury duty 4 times....
my husband (who I reg with I reg myself) has had it ZERO times...
I think it is a black man thing, IMO...they don't want black males on the jury...

I am nervous about voting in Florida. This is the first time I'll be using a touch screen.
