1. I missed the 2005 NYC mayoral primary.

Other than that I voted in every election.

[Warren DeMontague]

2. Always, without fail, every time since I turned 18.

[jschurchin]

3. EVERY Election.

To not vote, for me, is unimaginable.

[Retrograde]

4. I vote in every election in which I'm eligible to vote

that includes school board, local tax measures, local propositions - the races where a handful of votes really do make a difference.

[Historic NY]

5. Every election, school board, school budget, fire comm'r, town & county elections,

every bond issue. I done this since I got the vote @ 18. mourned for RFK & worked for McGovern, voted for Jimmy

[Kaleva]

6. I've missed some local and primaries but have voted in every general election

[freshwest]

7. You didn't list the special and school and other elections that happen several times a year. I vote

on each and every one of them and research the issues and talk with others to encourage them to vote.

Because it's how you make your community, city, county and state work. And that's what is reflected in D.C. Your local life is only as good as your involvement. Don't pay attention, and you'll find your life in many ways over run by regressives and grifters.

Voting is the VERY LEAST that one needs to do to take care of others in their community and protect the environment and every social need and build a future for your neighbors and family. If you care, you stay informed and vote every time.

10. Where is the futurama option

Of foiling Richard Nixon's evil schemes only to forget to vote and have him win anyways because of the damned robot vote?

11. So it appears that

DU isn't the right place to concentrate GOTV efforts. Since most of us already are doing so, that is.

In Texas -- everything is bigger there, they say -- between 2.5 and 3 million people who are in the CVAP (citizen voting age population) are NOT registered to vote. But do you know what's worse than that?

There were eight million registered voters who did not cast a ballot in 2012 (a presidential year, you will note). Eight million Texans is roughly the equivalent of two Houston MSAs. (Houston is the nation''s 4th largest city and is almost as blue as Austin FWIW. We elected a lesbian mayor three times; you may have heard of her).

The next time you are tempted to complain about how awful Texas is, just remember that some very good DUers live here and have been working most of our adult lives to turn this awful place around. Without much to show for it, sadly.

It would be easy to cut and run, but there's this place in San Antonio -- you may have heard of it also -- that is a shrine to a small number of people who did not flee, did not retreat, in the face of long odds. That's our legacy as Texans; stand and fight, no matter what.

To the present day, and as President Obama once said: grab a mop.
