No major election-day positions in question this year, at least here in my state. Our only major referendum was in early October, and my assistance did not help the state's emergency "we're failing government standards in 4 areas" tax get passed.

Gotta love Alabama.

Well, here, there are two library levys (the county, and the city), MRDD levy (Mental retardation something or other - almost all of thier gov. funding was cut), and city council - which is important, because the current city council is doing nice things like trying to ban books (Of Mice or Men), and putting lamps on main street, instead of trying to get new business and fix the frigging sewer drains.

(We flood every year, making little companies go out of business)

Also no major elections here, unless you live in a few cities that are pushing hard to get a new mayor in.

There are no big millages or anything (in my area) being put up on the ballot right now, and most people don't bother to take time out of their day to vote on really petty issues, its just not worth it.

We've got major stuff on the bill this year. They're trying to open up a casino here in Maine, heh. There wasn't any support for it for awhile but as people get more desperate in the job situation, we're all slowly warming up to it. Since Maine is a state of old men and ladies in diapers, however, they're all afraid that it's going to corrupt Maine's morals. Knowing Maine's youth like I do, though, I know we're already pretty damn corrupted for being small town kids like we are.

Besides, it's just a single damn casino. The worst we're going to do is break a nail on the slot machine. Makes me wish I could vote. Next year, I guess.

(Suddar's playing hookey.)

I can't vote on local issues. I'm registered to vote in my home county/city, because that's technically my "place of residence." But I *live* here. So I can't vote on the local issues that actively affect me. It doesn't have any effect on state-wide voting, but as I said - nothing major has made it to referendum this year, and there are no important state offices to vote upon.

I would vote, but that would mean registering. And if I register, I might get jury duty, and be called upon to serve my local government in a semi judicial way, and convict some bastard of something he did, then the jury list gets out, and they burn a cross in my yard, and kill my dog, and try to blow up my house, and bullwhip my clerk.. and other things Grisham thinks up.. then i get killed.

my vote is not worth the risk, for I have no confidance in any candidate for anything, ever.

Registering doesn't get you jury duty, having a Drivers License will though, and besides its alot of fun standing up in the middle of jury selection and pointing at the defendent, " HEY UNCLE BOB LONG TIME NO SEE !!! ".

Jury duty is run by your Driver's Liscense, not registering to vote.

So if you drive, you're screwed. ^^

Confidence? What the hell? You vote for the one who you think'll do the least harm, everyone knows that.

Anyway, I haven't gotten a new license for living here in Indiana yet, so I haven't re-registered to vote. I'm actually one of those idealistic nutjobs who likes to vote.

I registered to vote when I got my lisence. Everything was dandy, they gave me a little slip saying I would get a letter in a few weeks to complete the process.

I never got that letter. So I can't vote at all.
