I have voted every election, save a few primaries, since 1983.

Re: I Voted Today! Did you?

I voted, but not today. I sent in an absentee ballot last week. Let's hope it gets counted.

My first general election.

Re: I Voted Today! Did you?

I've voted every election since 1980

I don't understand why someone wouldn't vote. It makes me proud to be American.

1996 was my first time. I voted for Perot. I was an idiot.

In Georgia, our ballot initiatives were all tax breaks so i voted yes on all of them for i feel guilty knowing i am taking someone elses money and would rather they keep what they earn.

I always vote in all federal, state and local elections.

I am sure I'll be voting the same way after I am dead too.
