Re: I think...

I vote because I have this Pollyannish view that it actually matters.   Actually
here in the last few years the races have been close enough it kind of does…
 

But at the least, I can take a principled stand after and know I tried.
 
My state has a lot of really critical (to me) initiatives so I made sure I
voted.  I hate, however, the mail in only elections that we have moved to here.

I vote because it is the right thing for me as a citizen to do. What the
government does (or doesn't do) beyond that is their responsibility. I have
willingly, gratefully performed my responsibility.

I'm sitting this one out.  Practical as well as principled reasons for doing so.
Practical:  I still have a MI drivers license and am really reluctant to give it
up.  So, I'm not registered in TX.  I neglected/didn't feel motivated to get an
absentee ballot to vote in MI.  Principle: I have no faith in they system and
and at least for this election don't feel like acting as if I do.
 
I confess I feel a little guilty as I think I have been conditioned to believe I
should vote.  I think I'll get over that.

Tonight I go and vote (and presume everyone I don't vote for wins) and then I
use the Coupon Disney gave me for $8 off Toy Story 3 and watch that instead of
election coverage.
