I will vote, I believe the 14 people that responded to my question will vote, but I think only about 25% of eligible people will vote. My real question is why or why not vote?

I would guess at the polling place I'll work at the vote will push 40%. We had only 28% in primary.
Your stupid if you don't vote and as for the parties that is a poor excuse for not paying attention to the individual your voting for.
As for the response about the Democrats well they are not in power anywhere so what else should they do. Look back at the last time they controled all 3 power points and look at what the Rep. did? (o I'm a rep by the way).
Vote, but know something about who/what your voting for (or against), please.

it might be for real but i think the people really think that they are going to vote but when the day comes they dont.
i always do no matter what i am doing or what is going on in my life i vote at every prelim and election i like to it makes me feel like i have a tiny little part in the way the city, county, state, and country turn out, sadly to say some times i vote for someone and then everything turns out crappy or the person sucks but every one know politicians are fake anyway!!

I will vote. And chances are, people motivated to answer your question (and be on a political chat board to start with) would be interested enough to vote.
It's not a scientific sample - it's a self-selected group.
I vote because I feel it's my chance to speak out. It's also my RESPONSIBILITY as a citizen,
If you don't vote, don't complain, since you obviously don't care about your government enough anyway. That's my opinion.

i think that your question in this group is 14 of 14 because the people in here are more apt to vote because this is a political q & a room! that is why polls are faulty! they can take a poll in broward county fla. and get a leftist view or take one in the mid west and get a right point of view! see why polls are faulty!

I will go , close my eyes and vote down the line, because it doesnt matter who goes into office unless they fix the political parties and stop acting like little mudslingers and speak on the issues, sadly, the republicans at least I know the issues they are going to fix but the democrats are so busy pointing fingers and whining (as there party is known for) I have as much chance as anything...The e voting machines are fixed anyway and the party that loses will cry fraud anyway......closing the eyes and voting at least is more like russian roulette.....
