i live in oregon, and i personally believe vote by mail owns..
i am pro-kerry and i hate Bush, does that count?
the thing that i am most most most most angry about was the youth turnout. 18-25 year olds were registered in droves throughout this past year so they could vote in this election, presumeably for John Kerry. Registering to vote was the cool thing to do, it was all over MTV and TRL and hell, even P Diddy was saying "vote or die." then, tuesday night, when we expected to see the largest turnout of young voters in the history of this country, the fucking didn't show up. i'm tired of people doing the trendy thing and not following through with it. People are really going to get tired of me saying how mad i am about the 18-25 year old vote, but i'm really angry about it. How in Gods name do you get registered, basically promise your vote to someone, and then not go out and vote on the ONE SINGLE DAY YOU CAN DO SO? I don't get it, do they think that these elections have no effect on them or thier futures? are they in denial? i mean, what is it, i surely don't understand it. When it comes to voting, i see it as a civic duty to my country to participate in the process of selecting who is going to be making decisions that affect me in a country i live in. I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? I'm just so pissed about this i could seriously shoot myself.
