  1. I tell my students that everyone shouldn't vote. Why should the vote of someone who couldn't care less cancel out the vote of someone who gave much time and thought to their ballot? No, only INFORMED voters should vote--I mean, AT LEAST know the names of the people, right?

    1. I have often asserted that for the General Election, names should be on the ballot sans any designation as to political party. Put the names in alphabetical order or some random order determined beforehand. At least then voters would have to know the names of their preferred candidates rather than simply voting for someone because they have an "R" or "D" or some other letter after the name.

  2. You should vote because of a Hollywood movie. I am very intelligent.
