Good for you. And I honestly mean that.

6.7% primary turn-out
I'm glad that I was one of those 6.7%, but it also makes me wish I knew what I was doing a lot more. I had no clue who anyone was. I voted for Sabo (instead of the other guy whose name I didn't know), the one person in the state category for the democratic party, and didn't vote at all for the school board or judges. Voting is important, but isn't not accidentally voting for someone you'll despise even more important?

Yes. The voting process, and democracy in general, only really works if the people doing the voting are informed.

I was ineligible to vote in the primary

Why?

[iamrobertsworry.livejournal.com]

I gave up my right to participate in the Primary by signing the petition to put ralph nader on the ballot.

[tsukikage85.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Is that because signing the petition basically is your primary vote?

[iamrobertsworry.livejournal.com]

I guess that is how they figure it.

I'm not old enough to vote. I turn 18 in July. =p

Love the icon!

That was my first time voting ever. *counts on fingers* Five days before my 19th birthday. It sucked having to wait so long... But at least I was still 18.

I was 18 when I voted in my first presidential election. It was a few weeks before my 19th birthday.

And as much as I never really liked Martha Stewart beforehand, I kind of admire her now for taking responsibility for what's going on. I don't know whether she did anything wrong or not, so I'm not going to get into those specifics, but the fact that she's taken charge and is bringing things to a close strikes me as very mature.
