Go vote, and bring some friends

By tfk on November 7, 2006.

Grab three friends, toss them in your car, go to your polling place, and vote.

I have my preferences: Sebelius, Morrison, Moore, Boyda, Wempe, Weiss, Runyan, Cauble, Bill Shirley, Paul Davis, Barbara Ballard, Tom Holland, Cindy Neighbor, Raj Goyle, Marty Keenan, Dennis Phillips.

But hey, I understand if you disagree (or don't live in Kansas where any of those races matter). My first priority is that you vote. Nothing will change unless people show up and the polls and elect people who will change things.

As an incentive to vote for my choices (or your local Democratic Congressional candidates), I promise to stop writing about politics until the New Year if Democrats win the House and Senate.

So take your three friends and go vote at least once.

Be the change we want to see...

Should voting be required in the US?

Today is a big day for American Presidential politics, the so-called Super Tuesday when citizens in 24 states vote or caucus with their fellows to help select the candidates of the two main political parties. I live in one of those 24 states and Mrs. R. and I vote regular as clockwork.

Electoral math.

I've been thinking about the Electoral College, that mechanism by which voters in the U.S. indirectly elect their president.

The voter registration deadline in North Carolina is this Friday, October 10th.

Are you registered? Do you know where to vote? You can find information and register (if you are not) here (this is an Obama site, but it works for everyone):

As they say in Chicago, vote early and often.
