I don't know about Ohio but I used to live in Florida and I voted when Kerry ran against Bush and I didn't have to show my passport; all i needed was my drivers license (picture id).

No. Payment of taxes, residency, and voting are completely separate issues. Voting, participating in the government of a country, is properly restricted to citizens of that country. In fact, by law, an American citizen who votes in another country's elections forfeits his American citizenship.

No. The very latest you can vote is on election day.\n\nYou'll have to wait for the next election to vote.

NO.  All voter guides will be biased to a greater or lesser degree.  There is no substitute for keeping informed on an ongoing basis.  You cheat yourself by cramming at the last minute.

Absolutely, if you do not vote then do not complain. You voice is through voting. Vote, work on campaigns, talk to your friends, if you have them, about your candidate, place signs in yard if Homeowners Association will allow. I worked on my 1st campaign when I was 15 yrs old & 35 yrs later I still try to support them. I hate stuffing enevolpes - always have. I study all the candidates & pick the one that will vote most closely to my beliefs. Then I try to trust & support them after voting for them.

There was no presidential election in 2001. \n\nGore won the popular vote in the 2000 elections, Bush the electoral vote with some help from FLorida officials and Supreme Court justices. \n\nWhen will we have direct voting for presidents?

We do every couple of years or so its called an election.\n\nThe last presidential election was participated in by about 30% of those eligible to vote.  Pretty pathetic huh?  To put that into perspective more people vote for the American Idol than did for the last president.\n\nIf you are don't like the way things are going, or if you do like them you need to make your thoughts known at the ballot box.\n\nGet your friends involved until people get off their asses and participate nothing is going to change either way.

YES YOU CAN WRITE THEM,CALL THEM AND EMAIL THEM!! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WORK FOR US!! http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/Surprisingly few people ever write to their United States senators or congressional representatives. Perhaps ninety percent of our citizens live and die without ever taking pen in hand and expressing a single opinion to the people who represent them in Congress. This reluctance to communicate results from the typical and understandable feeling that legislators have no time or inclination to read their mail, that a letter probably won't be answered or answered satisfactorily, that one letter won't make any difference anyway. Based on my own experience, and speaking for myself at least, I can state flatly that these notions are wrong.    *  Write your own views--not someone else's. A personal letter is far better than a form letter, or signature on a petition. Many people will sign petition without reading it just to avoid offending the circulator; form letters are readily recognizable--they usually arrive in batches and usually register the sentiments of the person or lobbying group preparing the form. Form letters often receive form replies. Anyway, I usually know what the major lobbying groups are saying, but I don't often know of your experiences and observations, or what the proposed bill will do to you and for you. A sincere, well-thought-out letter from you can help fill this gap;\n\n    * Give your reasons for taking a stand. Statements such as "Vote against H.R. 100; I'm bitterly opposed" don't help much, but a letter which says, for example, "I'm a small hardware dealer, and H.R. 100 will put me out of business for the following reasons . . ." tells me a lot more.  Maybe I didn't know all the effects of the bill, and your letter will help me understand what it means to an important segment of my constituency.

Do you mean registering to vote?   Electoral Votes are established for each state, not based on registration. I believe.

Will you vote on election day?
755122
No it does not.\n\nThe oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:\n\nI do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

right now it seems, none of us... for instance in Florida, we have new computerized voting machines with NO paper trail.  why?  when you purchase something at a store don't you want a receipt?  but for an election there is no proof that i even voted.  wake up america.

Write-In Candidates- A candidate, not originally on the ballot, who is in written in by someone. (Significance: Can sway decisions of voters.)\n\nEndorsements- The action of publicly declaring one's personal or group's support of a candidate for elected office. (Example: A person could endorse Wesley Clark for US President in 2008, meaning that he/she intends to support any campaigns Clark may mount for the United States Presidency in the 2008 presidential election.)\n\nAbsentee Ballots- A ballot for voters who are unable to get to their regular polling places on Election Day. (Significance: Allows voters to vote even if they are not able to make it to the polls on Election Day.)
