Nope..as long as they arent against breaking any laws or wanna overthrow the Gov (besides with the vote) its your business. You just cant do political stuff in uniforms like rallys and whatnot...even if its the GOP

The most important benefactor to the voting process is the person doing the voting. There is a disconnect between those who don't vote and the society around themselves. It's a symptom of diminished self-image ..... ie., "My voice isn't important enough to count," vs. "Even if my voice isn't heard by the masses, I'll speak up." As for me, I hate politics, but I love our system. I don't believe in being a victim by default. Hey look, I spoke up. Does this count as a vote?

There are plenty of places where "one person no vote" applies.  Perhaps you should consider relocating, or maybe you would like to apply the job of God.

absolutely. If "none of the above" gets the most votes, the whole process starts over with 2 new candidates. That would be awesome. Never happen though...

Don't ask us to decide for you. Vote based on your own beliefs. What works for me might not work for you.

Absolutely!\nEvery vote counts. \nEven if your candidate doesn't win, their opponent looks at how close the election results were, and some of them actually try to respond to their constituency if it was a close race. Plus there are usually other things to vote on, like propositions, and bond & tax issues that will affect your wallet.

They have a lot of problems to work out before a vote. I talked with someone today in Washington that said it might not be until after the election. Both sides want to deal with it at the same time they don't. More pressure put on them by the public faster the process.

It should not be. Nor do I think voting should be a requirement to voice your opinion.\n\nA vote is saying that you affirmatively approve one candidate over another. If none of the people on the ballot are ones that I actually support, I wouldn't vote for them.\n\nHowever, because I am still stuck with whatever laws the majority-elected government chooses to enact,  I absolutely have the right to voice my opinion about those. Especially since I don't actually have the opportunity to vote for most of those laws directly.

Of course no one should tell you how to vote, but they should be telling you why to vote for a particular individual. I tend to be all over the place when I vote, and it's because I look at the issues and the individual and make a decission accordingly.

I agree.  We do not need people voting who just "doing their civic duty".  It is more important to be an informed voter and know who you are helping put into office.

I think that it was real... where I think it went wrong was with peoples sympathy.\n\nIt's a tough call when you get down to your favorites, so what do you do?  You vote for all but the person you want to go... which is the same thing as not voting for your favorite when you give votes to the other people.  If people would vote as intended and vote for one person (your favorite) repeatedly instead of spreading your vote around, you would get a true representation rather than a close one that people end up disappointed in.

I vote every chance I get.  Voting is a privilege and should be exercised. I also research the issues beforehand so I am not voting just on the basis of the commercials put out by the candidates.

Stars have the right to vote and to support their candidate too.  It may even be a public service if they draw attention to a candidate so that his/her message is heard.  But when a star crosses a certain line and viciously smears the opposition and lends no useful information to the debate, I know I will not be able to watch them in a movie and get lost in the story like I should.  I have no intention of sitting there and fuming when I just want entertainment so I pass up the opportunity.
