Have voted since I was old enough and voted every election large or small ever.
So have I. I dunno why. It's such a huge waste of time.

PEOPLE: READ THE APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS!!!! They have a lot of good information in them! Most of the questions I see on VJ are clearly addressed by the form instructions. Give them a read!! If you are unable to understand the form instructions, I highly recommend hiring someone who does to help you with the process. Our process, from K-1 to Citizenship and U.S. Passport is completed. Good luck with your process.

It's not a waste of time, it is your constitutional right. Everyone who is able should excercise that right. If they had, maybe we wouldn't have had Bush the first time!

I have a feeling there was a good several hundred or thousand blacks who weren't feeling voting was their constitutional right, especially when the Supreme Court decided the election without their vote counting (later to have been found they should have counted -- but too late). :unsure:

Very teling comment. In fact the votes were counted and Kerry still lost.

Goooooo Constitution!!!!!!

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

I'm assuming you mean Gore, and while the outcome might have had something to do with that, there's nothing to do about it other than learn from the mistakes made:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Centr...ors_in_the_list

Errors in the list

Florida has re-edited its felon list five times since 1998 to correct errors.

The first list DBT Online provided to the Division of Elections in April 2000 contained the names of 181,157 persons. Approximately 65,776 of those included on the first list were identified as felons.

In May 2000, DBT discovered that approximately 8,000 names were erroneously placed on the exclusion list, mostly those of former Texas prisoners who were included on a DBT list that turned out never to have been convicted of more than a misdemeanor. Later in the month, DBT provided a revised list to the Division of Elections (DOE) containing a total of 173,127 persons. Of those included on the "corrected list", 57,746 were identified as felons.

Examples:

* Thomas Cooper, Date of Birth September 5, 1973; crime, unknown; conviction date, January 30, 2007

* Johnny Jackson Jr., Date of Birth, 1970; crime, none mistaken for John Fitzgerald Jackson who was still in his jail cell in Texas

* Wallace McDonald, Date of Birth, 1928; crime, fell asleep on a bus-stop bench in 1959

* Reverend Willie Dixon, convicted in the 1970s at the latest; note, received full executive clemency

* Randall J. Higginbotham, Date of Birth, August 28, 1960; crimes, none mistaken for Sean David Higginbotham, born June 16, 1971

* Reverend Willy D. Whiting Jr., crimes: a speeding ticket from 1990 confused with Willy J. Whiting who have birthdays 2 days apart

Demographics of the purge list

According to the Palm Beach Post, among other problems with the list, although blacks accounted for 88% of those removed from the rolls, they made up only about 11% of Florida's voters.

Voter demographics authority David Bositis, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Washington, DC, reviewed The Nation's findings and concluded that the purge-and-block program was "a patently obvious technique to discriminate against black voters".
