5. The midterm is also the one where Republicans slip past some of their wildest stuff.

[riqster]

8. Yah hey, true. Not enough Dems pay attention then.

You'd think more people would have sussed the scam by now.

[sheshe2]

[ReRe]

9. Yes, I knew

I think we should enact a law requiring citizen's, age 18 and up, to vote every 2 years in the national elections. Just like we have to file our income taxes every year and have to participate in the Census every 10 years.

[riqster]

10. I'm in. A small price to pay for a much better country.

[ReRe]

12. That's right...

No more voter suppression or disenfranchisement, and if anyone is caught trying it, they are thrown in jail for some odd yrs, made to perform slave labor on pocket booklets of The Constitution.

[2naSalit]

[2naSalit]

22. ...

19. Good links. Good on you!

[Enthusiast]

16. Kicked and recommended! I'll be voting by mail-in ballot.

But this is Ohio. I am not confident my vote will be counted.

[riqster]

18. Same here. But at least our ballots are on paper.

[Enthusiast]

20. Yes. They would have to engage in clear criminality to deprive us of our votes.

But, considering their total lack of ethics, nothing would surprise me.

[riqster]

21. Nor I. Having watched Repub ripoffs for this entire century, I assume criminal intent.

[NCTraveler]

23. K & R. Preach it riqster!!!!!!! nt.

[riqster]

24. Always.

Thanks!

[FSogol]

25. I knew, but keep spreading the word. n/t

[riqster]

26. You betcha. Thanks!

[bigwillq]

27. K and R

Go out and vote.

[riqster]

29. Damn skippy. Take all your friends with you when you do!

[MNBrewer]

28. How is that the case?

[riqster]

31. Off-year elections include House, Senate, State and Local races.

Since turnout is lower and information is less available, candidates and other ballot items get loaded onto off-year ballots.

[MNBrewer]

33. Presidential election years don't includ local races and ballot items?

Or House and Senate and State races?

[riqster]

34. They do, but look up the numbers and compare.

Then factor in the lower participation by Dems in off-year elections, cross-check it with Repub gains in same, and you get the answer.

[Gore1FL]

38. The argument wasn't that not enough people vote

The argument was the elections have a bigger impact on everyday life.

[riqster]

39. Indeed. Impact is not isolated from participation rates.

[Gore1FL]

42. Fair

But that doesn't make the elections more important.

Given a choice would it be better to skip the presidential elections and only vote in the midterms? Of course not.

[MNBrewer]

43. I don't buy that they have a bigger impact or are more important...

equally important is how I would categorize them. Every election is important! Always vote!

[Gore1FL]

44. Exactly! n/t

[WillyT]

30. K & R !!!

[riqster]

32. T&Y!

[EEO]

35. Very true. They are not as bright and shiny, though.

[riqster]

36. The challenge in a nutshell.

[Gore1FL]

37. The presidential election is all the midterm election electionss + presidential election.

I would argue they are as close to important, but to say they are more important implies the presidential choice is a net negative for impact.

[riqster]

40. Implies, schmimplies.

The man in the image didn't say that.

[Gore1FL]

41. No, but the sign he was holding did.

Midterms are more important than Presidential elections is simply false based on the impact.

It's as important to vote in all of them. Less things to vote on doesn't make it more important.

[ffr]

45. NICE! K&R

[riqster]

50. An important message.

[ffr]

46. Should be elevated to 'Pic of the Moment'

It has my vote!

[riqster]

47. No argument from me. Wish I'd made it.

[CrispyQ]

48. I love this pic!

I want to FB it.

[riqster]

49. It's where I got it.
