Voter Registration

[SS MAYFLOAT]

Well, it is official! My wife and I are now officially registered voters.<br /><br />I was just curious how many iboats members have just regestered this year to vote this November?<br /><br />Never has my wife or I been so worried about the possiblility of having a person like Kerry voted into office.

You should start a poll about this. Pretty good question.

Congrat's SS, best making it a habit. Even though other elections may not be as high a profile, Congressional elections are always extremely important.

Echo above,<br />Congrats SS.<br />My feelings are <br /><br />"If you did not vote, you have ABSOLUTELY NO right to complain about who won the election."<br /><br />For that reason, I have been a registered voter since I was of the age allowed. Been 18 years since and have only missed a few elections.<br /><br />AK Chappy

In the great State of Texas, when you get your driver's license you also get a voter registration card.<br /><br />I've been registered since I was 18 and have never missed a Presidential election.

What's that make, LF? 2 elections?

Re: Voter Registration

I had regestered back when I was 18, but once joined the Navy I never went back. So I guess I was regestered, but I never used absentee or went back to my hometown.<br /><br />This year is different it seems. Must be getting to the age when a person gives a crap!<br /><br />Capt Kid, this is Ladyfish's second time of voting!

Re: Voter Registration

Here is an issue to talk about.<br />Here, as an Australian Resident, you MUST be on the Electoral Roll, and you MUST Vote, in fact, if you do not Vote, then you get<br />fined/prosecuted, and believe me, they do just that.<br />I have heard of people not going on the roll etc, but there's not a lot.<br />The result is brilliant - close to 100% of adults decide which representative will go to Parliment or the Senate and Govern them.<br />That is a true democracy <br />(Make them ALL vote, then no bug*ar can complain about the outcome.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Capt. Kidd, how'd you guess? <br /><br />And since all dumbs are not blonde, I voted Republican both times.
