OK, Voting is not a big deal
What I mean is, it is very easy to do! It takes only a few hours out of a day.
So just make sure you're registered, and vote. (a few hours away from the computer? your employer must let you vote)
But I don't have to say this, it's obvious, we all know it. It's silly for anyone to fret about how I will vote, for
that is exactly what most everyone here will do,vote,
& they won't be voting for Republicans.

1. Heck, it takes five minutes, and...
...less than an hour for most people figuring in travel times.

NGU.

2. In Australia
they fine you if you DO NOT vote. Like a parking ticket.

The US should do this too.

3. Here they've made it so easy to vote one really has to be pretty lame not to vote. They
encourage you to request a mail in ballot. It works extremely well as far as I can tell. You can just fax or mail in an easy request for a mail in ballot. This is what everyone is encouraged to do if they want to... or you can go vote at the polling places.

4. HOURS???? Maybe in an exciting Presidential election, but NOT
MID TERMS! Heck, it
s taken me less than 5 minutes INCLUDING parking the car, getting my wheelchair out of the trunk, voting & getting back to the car!

5. I decided to vote afterall
I wasnt going to vote but decided I will because there is too much at stake. Repubs cant regain control.
