Everyone would have to have a unique phone number which has been registered with the election commission. Then there would have to be a separate number to call for each electoral precinct to take into account local elections as well as the state wide and federal elections.\n\nPeople have a hard enough time trying to decipher written ballots. Imagine only being able to listen to the ballot being read over the phone and determining which number belongs to which candidate.\n\nThen there is the concern of how many phone calls need to be made collectively by the voters and the length of time it will take each voter to complete the ballot. Phone lines will be tied up indefinitely. At best there will be busy signals, at worst the telephone switching systems will be taxed to the point of crashing and other business and personal calls will not be able to complete. Imagine how difficult it is to get through when voting for your favorite American Idol contestant or to reach Home Shopping Network to buy that new collectible Barbie Doll and then imagine that happening all day.\n\nVoting in person, by email or internet are the only viable ways, and the last 2 are hard to control to ensure that the ballot box has not been stuffed.

I vote in every election, already voted today. There is a quote by William E. Simon that sums it up nicely: “Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.”\nYou're right about all the ads, I'm fed up with them and so are most of the people I know. But unfortunately a lot of people do pay attention to them and base their vote on the attack ads(which are full of half truths, and sometimes out right lies) The smart thing to do is watch the debates and research the candidates on your own. It's so easy to do now, hop on their website and you can find a link of their views on all the major topics, and if it's an incumbent I always check their voting record to make sure they are actually following through with what they claim. \nI don't think it's right that your mom's making you vote, but you really should, too many people don't. As Bill Vaughn said,  “A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross the street to vote in a national election”

No be glad to get it over and done with.  AND! AND! GET THOSE CAMPAIGN ADS OFF THE T.V.\n\nThis has been the dirtiest, nastiest, meanest election ever. I am sick if it especially the Republican ads! They have sunk to a all time new low. It is enough to make me change my vote from Republican to Democrat

at least in our state they are elected for 4 years.\n\nand the real campaign normally starts about 6 months before, although some getting your name out starts alot earlier.

Yes you absolutely can. The primary election is not the outcome of the choosing of the person set to take office or reelect the incumbent; the actual (or general) election does that. So just put your mind to rest, okay?

rumsfeld is staying on to the end of my term 2 days before the election

We won't know that answer until tomorrow at the earliest.\n\nAbsentee ballots are still coming in and polls aren't quite closed yet on the East Coast. (It is 4.53 mst as I type.)  And many states allow people to vote early.  Those are all counted tonight, even though the people did not technically vote today.  ; )\n\nEdit: I voted last week.  The turn-out in my part of Colorado is great!

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.

beside each answer is "vote as best" ... if I remember right lol\n\nIf it's not there, it's because you have to wait 24 hrs. before you can vote.

No.  You do that on your own time.  What, you want to be paid to perform your civic duty too?  Jeesh.  The polls are open till 7.  Make time and stop making excuses.

No. Political campaigns are specifically exempted from the no call list. You can tell them not to call you whenever they call though, and they are not supposed to ever call back.

No.  Because voting polls are open between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM and then the votes have to be tallied.\n\nIf the Reps win, we will know for sure that the elections are rigged.  That would not surprise me after all that I have seen in my years on this planet.  Sad.

The general election, which happens every two years (although we vote for president every FOUR), will be held on the first Tuesday AFTER the first Monday in November.\n\nIf you like how the countries going, vote Republican.  If you want things to change, vote Democrat.\n\nMake sure you're registered to vote, otherwise you can't.

Just be patient Karl, hopefully, things will move to help our votes really be our votes. In the meantime, I put a link in that may interest you.
