As a non-voter, of the younger generation of "able" voters... I am not voting because key issues that actually matter to me aren't addressed this election. Let's say #1 is jobs... which translates into economy. Economy is in a simple term, movement of money from different sources. Jobs pay money for work done. In my state of residence, which was one of the nations leading manufacturing states, there's an overall 4+% of unemployment due to jobs leaving the state/country. Next, let's talk schools (#2). When you see a 6th grader coming out of class at 3 pm swearing like a Navy man, there's problems that need to be addressed. Not to mention the increase of tution rates in post-secondary schools, making them less affordable than ever. #3, the war, tired of hearing it, and it only matters to me because every day there's a letter coming to an American home saying that their boy isn't coming home alive because of a) an carbomb, b ) some crazed religious nut with no mind of his own, or c) some idiot from his own unit shot him (face it, friendly fire happens). Yes, people need to vote... but if you look at the final tally from the election 4 years ago, you will see that alot of peoples' votes didn't count, simply based on where they lived. Bush lost the popular vote, but still was elected, and you expect people like me to believe in a system that is "new" to us as voters, yet flawed, to many people voting for the first and second times? (Presidential election that is.) Pfft. Not to mention that some states are switching between the way they collect and count votes. The electorial college may or may not work, but in my opinion it needs to go, so that one vote can truely mean something. - Z 2000 Election Results
