Voter Registeration

Recommended Posts

Just a reminder to everyone out there that Oct 1 seems to be most states cut off for regestering to vote in this presidential election. If you are not registered get out and contact your local clerk of courts to get registered.

Vote anyway you want... just VOTE!

I never could understand the get out to vote campaign. Educate yourself on the issues, then vote.



I agree.

If a person is not motivated to get out there and learn the issues and vote, then their vote skews the best possible result.

The fact that it's mostly the democrats who want every kind of motor voter and Krispy Kreme drive through voter registration policy only proves they count on the terminally uninformed to stay in power.

It's statements like this that really say a lot about a person.

Why should people feel such pressure to vote? If you don't already have enough motivation to have registered by now, then so be it.

The low voter turnout is a sign of satisfaction with the way things are, in my opinion.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Well said.

Don't bother arguing my assertion, just make unveiled insults.

Saying anything about yourself?

Low voter turn out is generally attrubuted to disinterest.

Look at the USPA voting. A part of the membership (about 75% of the active members) wants to make changes but since they can't get the other 90% to return a proxy allowing the changes nothing happens. The only time people care is if it impacts them directly.

a lot of non voters aren't aware of deadlines to register. There's nothing wrong with Phree pointing that out so that people who had it on their list of things to do don't wait too long. People who move about often (read: younger people mostly) can put that off too long and tend to be underrepresented in the election.

That said, I don't like that some states have virtually no holding period. I think it's fair to have a 30 day deadline to prevent any attempts at gaming the system. We frequently find pockets where people registered in more than one location and do vote more than once.
