I know how to get people to vote....

[Xolodno]

If its verified you voted, give the person an option to pick one of these:

1. Get out of Jury Duty pass.

2. Skip one student loan payment.

3. Require your employer to give you the day off with pay.

1. make it a national holiday, mandatory to voting. . . .

Isn't it the law someplace? Australia, maybe? Not remembering right now.

Still trying to wrap my head around Texas having worst turnout nationwide!

4.5 million voters swept in the Republicans again including another Bush.

In Dallas County Wendy Davis won by 11 points.

2. Not voting is still an expression of political opinion

it says that there's not a thing that they expect would be different if one candidate wins vs the other candidate.

Shall we make a list of things that you could have predicted with 100% confidence would not change no matter who won?

I'll seed the game with a few:

- US still involved in one insane war after another
- Wall Street execs continue to get away with massive crimes
- Black people will still be thrown in jail in huge numbers in the name of the drug war
- Lobbyists will still write our laws
- "Free trade" agreements that screw the American worker will still be passed and enacted
- Americans will continue to be treated like terrorists and spied on by their own government without any reason to suspect a crime has been committed

Add your own! It's fun up to the point where you want to blow your own brains out!

3. Ain't gonna help IMO

They risked their safety net to vote GOP or not vote at all. More Dem's should of tried to get legal or medical MJ on the ballot, and supported it, also a hike in minimum wage.
