Today, September 23, 2014 is Voter Registration Day. A day set aside to ensure that all eligible voters are registered and can vote in November.
Are YOU registered? If you qualify and aren’t, please do!
My thanks for the picture to Father Kane of The Last of the Millenniums for the scary reminder of the consequences if we all don’t do our civic duty.
My thanks as well to Val of QBG Tilted Tiara for reminding me to remind you.

Even assholes can vote. Idiots too. That is precisely how we ended up with some of the folks we have in office now. Because these folks vote in off-year elections!

Can we vote to not let stupid people vote?

I’m pretty sure that would be deemed unconstitutional. I do think that there should be a minimum IQ for folks if office. We could clear out a lot of deadwood that way!

Politicians should not be allowed to run for public office…

I’m registered, obviously. My state is deep blue, but there are some interesting state questions on the ballot. One of them is suggesting to tie the state gas tax to inflation instead of fixed amount per gallon, and the opposition’s official argument against that (printed in the brochure the state sends to voters) is that this is taxation without representation. Seriously.

thanks for the timely reminder … and, yes, I am registered.
eagerly looking forward to casting my ballot, in the hopes that Texas might swing around to my side of the political divide, some day soon. 🙂

Anyone who doesn’t exercise the privilege of voting has no right to grumble if he/she doesn’t like they way things are going.

And they don’t get to use the excuse “both parties are equally bad” until they’ve actually done the research on what these parties actually stand for.

Let’s put it this way, if I don’t go and vote, our gov Paul LaPage has a chance for a repeat and I cannot live with myself if that were to happen.

Oh boy, I’d love to be able to vote against him …

I’m always all dress up with no place to go with my voter registration: nobody I like ever runs for anything.

There’s always hope. But the problem is nobody pays attention to the local elections, which is the breeding ground for the higher ups. My son was just saying that last night — why do I have to vote — the presidency isn’t up this year. Ahhhhhhhhh…. where did I fail …

Mine said the same thing! *schmack* It is really the locals we should be studying and deciding about, they will have a bigger impact on us in a shorter amount of time
