"Vote often" caught my attention. I might just do that, the jackasses do it all the time.

I'll be voting late tomorrow. It always feels like such a waste of time when the winners are practically being announced as you vote.

Vote early and often... An old Chicago line I believe... from the machine days of Dick Daley! Some things are timeless.

ON a more serious matter.. YES do vote!! Be part of the vocal minority! If you don't vote your complaints lose much of their validity!
