I missed the closing of the poles four years ago because my kids kept stopping me from leaving the house, but this time I got an absentee ballot and have already sent it in. I figured this time would be a closer vote anyway.Alice Audreyhttp://www.aliceaudrey.com/?page_id=4029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-37511948421488124812012-10-20T11:42:55.902-04:002012-10-20T11:42:55.902-04:00Oh, I'm hoping and holding my breath.Oh, I'm hoping and holding my breath.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-26420529993660021072012-10-20T11:42:30.851-04:002012-10-20T11:42:30.851-04:00At the very least, you should forfeit your right t...At the very least, you should forfeit your right to complain if you choose not to vote.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-61237363181124402372012-10-20T11:41:45.771-04:002012-10-20T11:41:45.771-04:00My older son said the same thing, and this is his ...My older son said the same thing, and this is his first election.

I think voting should be compulsory as it's such an important democratic process. People shouldn't be able to opt out just because they can't be bothered or "they're all the same" or some other pathetic excuse.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-13402759952033159772012-10-19T22:21:22.149-04:002012-10-19T22:21:22.149-04:00I'll be voting Nov. 6th too!I'll be voting Nov. 6th too!Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-87743764304504018632012-10-19T20:56:37.056-04:002012-10-19T20:56:37.056-04:00i will but i can't until actual election day. ...i will but i can't until actual election day. i'm rather annoyed with both my daughters who say they intend not to vote at all. that's to put it mildly....limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-3958899332340000202012-10-19T19:54:50.305-04:002012-10-19T19:54:50.305-04:00"There's so much at stake"
