I vote in all elections. Having worked at the polls for 5 years I also understand it is not just about the quantity of voting but the quality. That means knowing what you are voting for and not voting for something you know little or nothing about.

I think you mean 'general elections', not 'primary elections'?

The upside of trump maybe the apathic Americans will be motivated to become engaged enough to work towards changing the make-up of the Senate and Congress. I am a cautious optimist. Alabama was a very nice moment.

I became a citizen in 1999 and the first thing I did when I got citizenship certificate was register to vote....Grew up in Brazil during military dictatorship and had never voted...

Vote early, vote often.

I also register voters in Arizona.

Good for us! ..and good question

I voted "I Am A Registered Voter Who Vote In Primary And Mid Term Elections" but the reality is I vote much of the time, but I do miss from time to time.

Surely we should acknowledge that the reason we are in our current situation is that over the years the DNC has worked their way into the pockets of the big money lobbyists in the same way that the GOP have. With the internet and such, more people have become awoke to the corruption in our government. What is particularly sad is that even after the truth came out about how the Dem party/CNN tilted the GOP primary in favor of the "pied-piper candidate" Donald Trump, and tilted the DNC primary in favor of Hillary Clinton, is that the DNC is not very interested in admitting wrongs/changing, and CNN continues it's machinations of brainwashing, with center stage being their plot to convince the American people that possible Russian intervention had an impact on the election. What is even more sad is a large number of American people have fallen for it. This is very telling to the state of intelligence our species has fallen to. Money is the root of all evil.

I'm a registered voter with no party affiliation, so primaries aren't available to me (in New York) — but that's fine, because as far as I'm concerned the parties are private clubs putting forth their nominated representative as candidate for office. As a non-member of their club, I don't feel as though I should have a say in whom they select. But I vote otherwise.

I, a child of the '60's & '70's, & politically active at the time (& still managed to do a term of enlistment in the USN), did not ever register to vote until Obama first ran. I still don't know if it makes a difference or matters at all. I really don't trust politicians in general, of either party, but lean left as a rule, especially because the right, so often, backs religiously biased legislation.

Not only do I vote, but I also seek elective office at the state level.

You all need to shame me into getting off my arse and vote in the Mid Terms, although I am highly motivated this year after the last year of that ass-clown in the WH.

Hopefully we have legislation to abolish the electoral college.

Yes, I vote. Without question. Those who refuse to participate in the political process are doomed to be governed by their inferiors.

an uneducated electorate = tyranny by the masses. treat your public school teachers better

I vote. I want a say in all things that concern me.

I vote in all elections. I live in the state of Pennsylvania where I'm registered for no political party so I can't vote in primary races but every single year I show up at poles to vote on everything from judges to dig catchers to Congress to president
