Why anyone would abrogate this last line of defense against those who supposedly represent you, I have always failed to understand. Voting is such a simple maneuver that anyone eligible can do it. Honest!
It is often a last chance to rid yourself of crooks, hangers-on, rubber stampers, ineffectives, big spenders, opportunists, malingerers and any number of those who just like to hear themselves talk, and those who like to be a part of the "good ol' boys."
The voter turnout in our city and county is so pathetic that it's almost an embarrassment to show up at the polls, but I'm going to do it anyway, each and every voting cycle.
