People should vote in general anyway...there's so much local stuff on the ballots. I always vote "NO" everytime a school levy comes up or any other type of program. So if some people are not interested in voting for president, they better be interested in voting on the local issues...because that's what effects them the most.

The wife & I voted yesterday. Took about an hour in in our little hamlet. The ballots were optical scan with correct choices premarked. They an 'R' by the right ones to vote for and a 'D' by the ones you don't vote for. Pretty cool.

You too, huh? Same here. And usually the same for city-bonds.

Amen. Among other initiatives here in Arizona, we have one (105) that wants to change the voting on any anti-tax issue by saying it must be passed by 2/3 of voters REGISTERED rather than by how many actually voted. The other gem is 202, which will gut the existing tough law on hiring illegals, although it is phrased as just the opposite.
