Why in the world do we vote on Tuesday?

Voter turnout is linked to apathy not the day we vote. There are plenty of options for voting in the weeks before the actual election day, including an early ballot by mail or going to the Secretary of State's office at your convenience and voting there.

Already did!  My daughter and I (she is only 5, but I always bring her with me so she sees how important it is to vote) went at 6:45am, and were number 77 at our polling place.\n\nI was disappointed that more people weren't in line...hopefully it will pick up and more people will turn out to vote.  I don't care which party you belong to, or who you vote for, just VOTE!!!

I VOTED BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  BE LIVE IT OR NOT ONE PERSON CAN.\n\nSee I told you so look how close the races were. People can make a difference and need to instead of sitting on the sidelines hollering.

Because we are one week from free elections.  Because if we can have a democratic foothold there, it would go a long way to having democratic societies pop up throughout the Middle East.

NO.  That would be democracy.  Democracy is not a good thing.  If you were able to find a way to keep everyone honest, that is one man, one vote...you would end up with anarchy.\n\nOn Monday we could vote to go to war in Iraq.  On Tuesday, we could vote to pull out of Iraq.  On Wednesday, we could vote to drill in Anwar, Alaska.  On Thursday, we could vote to ban all oil drilling in the US.

It's way too early to tell who I'll vote for - I don't vote by strict party lines. I vote for who I think is the best for the job. I can't know that until I know who's in the running.

See it is very straight forward. What matter for politician is votes because that is what keep them in power. Now if all these students are protesting and doing all these things then why did not they came out in same proportion when election happened. At that time instead of going to polling booth they choose to spend that voting day holiday for enjoying picnic or watching/ playing cricket match. To go for vote is against there status or they consider that as waste of time. Unless and until you bring your representative in power why you want someone to listen to you. Either you maintain 'Till it does not bother me' policy which ended up in two world wars then you cannot expect better. So moral of the story is instead of coming out when it hits us it is better come out during election time and get sensible person elected.

I guess it is what is called a TEASER common in newspaper ads - something happening in AUSTIN on 22 May - who knows\n\nAUSTIN GETS IT\n\nwhat a new radio station? a new mayor? hot water? who knows \n\nThe voting is just a way of promoting the 22 May date

We get a black marker and get to connect the arrows (makes you feel like you're back in kindergarten!).  A good question to ask is why do we have so many different ways to vote in the U.S..?  Wouldn't it make sense if we all followed the same process?  And wouldn't it be great if we could all vote via the internet or telephone?  (Surely they can make this a secure system!)   Anyway... thanks for voting!

79 million people, or 40.4% turned out to vote Tuesday, compared to 39% in the 2002. \nI think it,s sad that we don't have higher turnout rate in our elections. You would think that more people would want to have their voices heard.

I'll be voting.\nWork will be canceled on that most important of days.
