I had a very smart English teacher back in high school explain it like this: "I've studied all of the props, the candidates, and their stances from the different local judges, treasurers, and political individuals running for office in the election. I am a political junkie. I enjoy politics and I vote whenever I can. But come voting time, my highly intelligent, knowledgeable vote will be cancelled out by a teenager who just turned 18 and is voting for the first time and has no idea about any of it."
I don't want to cancel out a vote of someone who legitimately cares about politics.
And yes, I've already heard the "Well don't complain....." speech.
I'm sorry but this is not a valid reason to not vote. I hate politics, but stay tuned enough to cast an intelligent vote. Our constitution hangs in the balance. It's sad..... I wonder how many more feel this way. .
