I voted, but as of 5:15 pm, of the 765 people that live
in our rural township, only 46 had been to the polls. We were 2 of the 3 from our village that voted.

3. Hey....It's Not Like It's American Idol, Or Something Important.
You can't expect people to drive a few miles during their busy day and spend 10 minutes voting. Maybe if it was something important like deciding between two singing losers, then they would probably spend hours on their phones voting.

This is only our country. It doesn't affect most people.

10. It's not like if you do one, you can't do the other!
I vote on American Idol and in my government elections. I like voting.

9. That's so sad. Is it any wonder this country is in the predicament it's in
??? When things are THIS bad and people can't muster the energy or find the time to vote....we-are-screwed. This is exactly what the repukes bank on. People who don't vote. IF Dems show up, Dems win. Well, they use to win before evoting machines.:(
