I'm a bit disappointed. Of my 80+ students, only a handful are voting. They're in college, and most of them say they just don't care. And THEN, the ones who do care, believe that their vote doesn't count anyway so why bother?
That is disappointing Haven. I confess to thinking the same thoughts over the years but I still always vote no matter because it is a right and responsibility and so very important, So sad that all young people don't feel the same.

It's 7 here, and the line is at least 3 hours long. The polls are supposed to close at 7. All the people in line at 7 will get to vote, so that means the count won't be final until at least 10.
They loaded up our ballots with a TON of long winded BS constitutional amendments, which are like a convoluted book to read, and no one (apparently) read the sample ballots they got in the mail. So each person in my dorky state is taking at least 20 minutes to vote. I'm pretty sure it's all on purpose.
This is the first time, since I worked so hard to become a citizen, that I haven't voted.![]()
That really sucks iLander! I am so sick of all the darn lines for everything!!! Gas, voting, what's next? Bread and milk?? Ugh, lately I am feeling like we live in some 3rd world country. Very depressing. In the future may I recommend voting by absentee ballot. It seems like that is gaining a lot of popularity and no lines guaranteed! (Not sure where you live but they have extended the time period for voting in certain areas due to the hurricane).
