Why do you vote (or not vote)?

We all have different reasons for voting/not voting - but IMHO the best thing is that we have the CHOICE to vote - or NOT vote. I can't imagine how I would feel if it was against the law NOT to vote as CJ stated. Ack! I think I might have a completely different outlook on the situation in that case.

We have thousands of choices we are not permitted to make by law. We just get used to them. Such as seat belt laws, no smoking in restaurants (in certain states), no use of narcotics, no parking on the north side of Acacia Avenue during winter months. Ok, pretty much any law. We are all slaves to the machine. Enjoy it.
