Daily Voting News For September 27, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Over 25 years ago one well-known political hack said this about voting, “I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are
not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a
matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." Democracy is
only effective when everyone participates. Please don’t be left out on election day. Make sure you are registered to
vote now and ensure all of your information is correct and up-to-date and then exercise your right to that vote on
election day. Forty-one states have a registration deadline between Oct 6 and Oct 20. Find out where to go to get
information from your state HERE ...
