I voted this morning. At the local library which is maybe a half a block away.
I walked down there. Went to the second floor and in a big room, was a table set up.
this table was directly opposite of the door. The room had no other tables or chairs or people outside
of this table. At the table sat 8 people. Yep, 8 people. All 8 stare at you and recall I am the only
person not at this table. I go up and this lady asks, what is my street and marks it off, the next lady
asks what is my name and marks it off, the next lady has me sign my name on a official list of people
eligible to vote. The next person who is a man, gives me a number for my voting machine and the next
person directs me to a booth, what the other people do, I have no idea. I vote and am out of there in roughly
two minutes as I know who and what I am voting for… As I leave the room and those 8 people all stare at me.
I almost ran out of there. But I did get my sticker for voting from one of the people who I didn’t know what
they did.

Do you feel that you have influenced the election?
Has your voice been heard?
Did you see the votes tabulated?
I voted, but with my feet.
Peter, I live in Alabama. To be more precise, I live in Shelby County. It might sounds familiar to you because of this…

That being said, there’s really no point in me voting. I know…I know…I could at least send a message or something even though I know I don’t have a chance…but here…probably not. I don’t think this place will ever get the message.
I live in California and the GOP basically doesn’t exist in California.
Especially since the state GOP went had to declare bankruptcy, they ’
are so inept they can’t even handle their own finances. I vote mainly because
the GOP is trying to deny voting, the basic fundamental right of a democracy.
to deny voting is to deny democracy and that is what the GOP is trying to do,
end democracy in America. Vote even if it doesn’t matter because everyone has
this one fundamental right in a democracy. If you don’t vote, you may as well live
in Russia which has one party and one choice on the ballot. That is the first
thing every wannbe dictatorship tries to end which is free and fair voting.
to fail to vote is to say yes, yes to all those dictatorships which denied voting
like the soviet union and Nazi Germany and franco spain. People around
the world are fighting and dying for the right for a free and fair election and
here we allow the GOP to take away that right by limiting the right to vote
of the poor and minorities who can’t fight back.
If the GOP can’t win elections without cheating and without trying to limit
voting, then they have lost already. Think about it, what would you think
about a person who can’t win a game without cheating? You would rightfully think
they are losers, pathetic losers. So why give the GOP a benefit of the doubt?
They deserve to lose if they can’t compete with the demo’s without cheating.
Their ideas are bankrupt and they have proven they can’t govern (see bush’s lite 8 years)
the simple fact of the matter that is obvious to any who look is the country is better off
and far better off when the democrats are in power.

It doesn’t matter how the votes are cast, but how they are counted. Joseph Stalin
Unless they stop taking the ballots into the locked back room to be counted voting is an exercise in futility serving only to keep the sheeple docile and the bomb throwers from gaining the support of the masses.
If voting changed anything it would be outlawed. Emma Goldman
