Why do you vote (or not vote)?

MissEve · 10-28-2004

Ialways vote in local elections because there arent very many voters here and I know that my vote CAN make a difference. There are some very tight local elections/ballot measures here where the winner is decided by a few hundred votes. I will cast my vote for Kerry even though AK is a die hard Republican state and my vote wont make a difference. I know that change happens slowly and I hope that my vote will add to that 30% or so and maybe in the next few years it will go up to 35%!

Its like playing sports and losing badly but trying hard to score once so the other team doesnt shut you out!
