I have often wondered, if you really want your favourite candidate to win the election, wouldn't it be best to be a registered votor in the most important swing state? This year it's Ohio, I think. I'm not sure what I heard on the news, though.
how do you become a registered votor in a state? You have to have a residence there? Why not rent an apartment so you can be a registered votor there? Or does it have to be the state where you pay your taxes? How does it work anyway?
What keeps a voter from voting in all the places where they have a residence? Many people have two residences in different states.
I'm thinking of voting this year as I'll probably be here in Georgia for the election, anyway. But if the state you're in always votes the same way and you want to vote differently...
I don't even know who I would vote for. Both have good points and bad points. I am glad I'm Canadian as well. At least there our economy is going well. People are gentler there, too, so there aren't political wars going on. Sometimes as I watch the political kerfuffel here, I forsee an armed population that's very angry.
They are also like fifty countries here, all with their own ways of doing things. It's strange that they are all bound in one by the main government since they feel so many different ways about how things should be done.
I wonder if the country will break up like so many in eastern europe have.
