Question

Why is voting so important?

Answer 1

Well, if you're a working person, own a business, or are in any other way a contributer to society, your vote is necessary to offset the votes of all the indigents and illegals the democrats are rounding up for November.

Answer 2

the  only  word  to  explain   ,  why  voting  is  so  import en  -- - ----------  ""  democracy  ""

Answer 3

Yes! Voting is very important, as long as you're voting for the right reasons. Not like a lot of people voted in the primaries just because the candidate was a female or a black person. Electing a candidate now a days is like the American Idol, It's a popularity contest...

Answer 4

Voting helps shape your community!

I voted yesterday to have my tax dollars help support the local science museum here.

Earlier this year, I participated in a petition campaign to put our local government's spending to a vote.  They were passing a indebt to my grandchildren to pay for this year's renovations of the government office buildings downtown without giving us a say in it.  We got enough signatures to allow for a vote and We The People of my little city voted it down.

To make changes in higher government, begin with voting in more local governments, which affect how the larger governments act.  Become united with others in your community to have a stronger voice.  Support your favorite presidential person, and no, I don't care who it is, just become active!

The more YOU know, the more powerful WE become.

Answer 5

It would be a lot more important without the electoral college, which would ensure that the person who actually gets the most votes becomes president every election.

Answer 6

Without the right to vote, we'd be living in a monarchy or dictatorship.  WAKE UP!!!

Answer 7

Because over a million men and women have died to let you decide on things as big as who your leader will be, who speaks for you, and even things like who the sheriff of your town will be? I don't know about you, but I believe these are very important things. In fact, in the American Revolution 10,000 men died in a little placed call VALLEY FORGE!!! They suffered and died for you, in fact with out them you wouldn't even have a TV or a car or anything like that! So get off of your *** and VOTE!

Answer 8

making a change and a difference!

Answer 9

Voting is extremely important because it's exercising your right as an adult human being in a free country to express your opinion on issues. Every vote counts. What if everyone were to say "Oh it's not important"? We wouldn't get anywhere in the world. Please please please vote and remember those in other countries and conditions that don't have the rights you have.

Answer 10

b/c you decide if you want your country to be ran by money stealing republicans or trustworthy democrats.

Answer 11

It's not.  Unless you live in a swing state.

Answer 12

Because it's about your country, and how it will be governed for the next 4 years!

Answer 13

Your well being. Our well being. No brainer there!

Answer 14

Supposedly, voters are more likely to pay attention to what politicians say and also to how much that manifests in real life.

Voting forces us to stay in the game and watch what they're doing.

Answer 15

Because it is how we hire the people who run the country and if you don't vote then you don't get to bit ch about what they do. Politics is as important to each and every person as breathing is. Look what happened when half of the Republican party got suckered in to voting for Ross Perot. We have the politics of today!  

Christ on a Crutch, not one of the main stream candidates represent the majority of the US population.      What we should do is all vote Libertarian for President and shake both main stream parties to the core.
