1. Every election...
local and state primaries, local and state elections, federal primaries and federal elections.

I've missed one primary in many, many years of voting and that was when my Dad died, and I haven't missed one since.

2. Have only missed one primary since I turned 18 and
that was because I was super sick and didn't really feel well enough to go down to vote.

5. How can anyone vote "no"?

Epimenides Paradox Alert

The people voting no are lying.

If they are not voters, then they cannot vote "no".

I was referring to public elections, not this quiz, of course! :D
And I can't vote, so I am not a voter. I am not eligible to vote anywhere in the world.

6. Always.
And I never, ever leave any space blank or "stay home." Not in 2010 or any other time.

Bring me Progressives and I'll vote.

16. you are part of the catch 22
we can't get real progressives until the left does not abandon them and we can't get the left to not abandon them until we get real progressives.


You may want to consider becoming part of the solution instead of contributing to the problem.

8. since I was 18, yep
Edited on Wed Jul-20-11 07:01 PM by stuntcat
I've moved a lot, so I miss some local stuff sometimes. I feel absolutely nothing for Arlington VA, where I am now, so I only vote on local stuff if I go to the poll with my husband. But I've always voted on State and national things.

My mom used to take me to the polls with her every time she went, I couldn't wait to vote lol!

13. Yes and no, I don't vote straight ticket
because no one should be rewarded for just having a party name on the ballot. If they haven proven themselves to be pernicious in the past, I generally leave that line unchecked.

15. Since 1976, missed one vote due to "computer error" in 1984. Claimed they "lost" me putting in
new computer system that year.

I had the poll workers calling everywhere. Never did find me and was never even offered a provisional ballot; which I had no knowledge of back then.
