Survey: Are You Voting?
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 11. 3.08
In Italy, they get 90% turnout in elections, in Germany, 80%, in Britain 75%. Even in Canada three weeks ago, in its most boring election ever with the lowest turnout in history, they hit 60%. Yet in the USA, turnout rarely tops 55%. It is amazing how in a country that prides itself on its freedom, barely half of its eligible citizens bother to turn out to practice it. Yet in every state there are choices to be made to vote for the environment and a green future.

I already voted. Now I'm just going to sit back and watch...
Other: I already voted! A few weeks ago, my wife & I voted via "Advance Voting" here in Georgia (technically absentee voting). In and out in minutes.
The only regret I have is forgetting my camera, so I was unable to record the moment my finger hit the screen for Obama.
actually, i already voted. lines are expected to be very long here, so i went and voted on Halloween.
:D
It's disappointing to see you have a McCain anti-Obama ad on this page. Don't you draw the line somewhere? The spread the wealth tax handout propaganda doesn't belong on your website.
LA: We agree completely, political ads are not supposed to be on the site. We are dealing with this.
Already did, absentee ballot.
Of course, I'm from NY so it isn't like my vote would change the outcome there.
I hope people vote for the green party!
