Vote!

In the entire history of mankind, our system is an abnormality. How long we will last, who knows? But yes, vote. Even if you’re outnumbered in your area and all of your votes are for naught. At least you can grumble honestly that you did your part.

Here is a Wiki page with countries and their electoral system/method.

A large number of countries around the world have direct elections.

USA has direct elections for Congress and Senate (nationally).

I agree with you 100%. Voting day should be a holiday where everyone, within reason, is off. We need to make the ability to vote as easy as possible.

I've been contacted as I am every election, for my polling place volunteer gig.

This time I've been "promoted" to the head person, "Inspector".

So from all of us who are there ready for you; we want to see your faces if possible.

However you choose to do so, please vote.

Millions have served, and millions of others work in civilian life; to give us all that right.

Please don't forget, do it soon. 

God Bless America,

I vote in every election, regardless of whether it's an "off-year" or not, and for that reason you cite, Bill.  I figure it's my civic duty, and I remember that people died so that I can cast my vote.

I believe that Election Day should be a holiday.  Federal offices should be closed, businesses should be closed, and we vote in person (except for those who absolutely cannot make it in person).  And we verify who we are.  That's how important this right and its exercise are.

We had our primaries in May, and there was no problem at all, at least not in our precinct and polling station.

I have voted in every election since the age for voting was lowered from 21 to 18. I do not understand why someone would not vote? I just don't get it. There are millions, maybe billions, of people in this world that are unable to participate in a free election. I may be wrong, but I think that we are the only nation on Earth where its citizens can vote directly for their president. Why wouldn't someone want to participare in doing that?

Okay, enough of my rant.

VOTE!!!

We do lots of volunteer work for them.  Vote!

Except the Voting Place Work; My take on this is DITTO !
