That's pretty funny. And believable.

Why since only 2000? They've been doing that ever since Dewey won the '48 U.S. Presidential election!

I know but I just used the most recent fiasco.

That's pretty funny. And believable.

And true, I'm afraid... darkly true.

That's true democracy for you.

How many actually vote in American elections?
Just curious.

#929 by Citizen Slothrop Master of V-2s - 3/15/2004 4:58:31 PM

In 2000, the turnout was 51% of the voting age public. the voter turnout has been improving with time.

#930 by Citizen Embird - 3/15/2004 5:02:24 PM

Thanks. It's good to see it improving.

#931 by Citizen littlewotts_ - 3/15/2004 5:03:35 PM

Good turnout for local elections is 20% around here.

#932 by Citizen Kazzryl - 3/15/2004 5:08:18 PM

Local elections are always a bit sad. It is usually just me and a bunch of senior citizens.

However, there is a good drive to get younger people more interested in voting in this country (USA). In time, that is improving.

Well, local elections around here are much worse of course. Maybe 20% would be even generous.

#934 by Citizen Slothrop Master of V-2s - 3/15/2004 5:10:42 PM

Thanks. It's good to see it improving.

And what is it in Australia? It's much higher I suppose...

#935 by Citizen littlewotts_ - 3/15/2004 5:11:25 PM

I'm one of the few my age (22) that votes in the small ones.

#936 by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 3/15/2004 5:28:24 PM

I was one of the few that went and voted for the primaries here in Tennessee, and I also voted early. Which probably made me the only teenager to do so.

They are trying to get voter turnout higher. Somebody is running this huge campaign to try to get 18-24 year olds to vote with the slogan "18 million voted last time, what could have happened if say 20 million voted?" so they are going to try to get young voter turnout up about 10%. It is still way too low though.

#937 by Citizen Slothrop Master of V-2s - 3/15/2004 5:31:38 PM

"18 million voted last time, what could have happened if say 20 million voted?"

And what could have happened if say 20 million voted?

Ehhh...I'm not sure I like to think about that. IMHO, Bush is bad enough, but with Gore, I don't want to think about that.

#939 by Senator Drengin - 3/15/2004 6:57:21 PM

Anyone else think Al Gore sounds too much like Igor !

Yethh Masther Al Gore will ruin the country

#940 by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 3/15/2004 7:07:18 PM

I had never thought of that before, but YEP!

#941 by Veteran DarkAssassin - 3/15/2004 8:29:15 PM

I'll vote for the presidential election and maybe the senate and the house but not so much with the local politics...i just turned 19 in december and i got registered in august last year! bring it on.

wow i that's two whole pages i don't think my email is alerting me very effectively...

#944 by Citizen Bam_Bam - 3/15/2004 10:45:09 PM

Glad to see some of the younger folk rarin to vote. Of course, I'm not that old...(32).

Never missed a general election. I follow the premise of "if you don't vote, don't complain". I usually skip the primaries, unless there is a heated battle for some of the local, state or House of Representatives seats. Here in Virginia, primaries for federal offices are a bit silly in that registered voters from any party can vote in the opposing party's primary. Silly.

If you mean the 'watch-this-thread' function, mine works sporadically, at best....

#946 by Veteran the 3rd child - 3/15/2004 10:49:12 PM

"if you don't vote, don't complain

That's a good thing, and people specifically californians if you vote against giving the government greater freedom in raising taxes, then don't F******* complain when our budget deficit grows bigger! After all what's the governments number on source of income?

Sorry just had to get that off my chest.

That is odd. Is Virginia the only state that does this?

#948 by Veteran the 3rd child - 3/15/2004 10:51:28 PM

yeah definetly mine seems to crack understress it like delivers the first 5 in a 5 hour period then grows terribly quiet

#949 by Citizen Kazzryl - 3/15/2004 10:54:50 PM

It could be our internet provider as well, I'm guessing.
