Tell HN: Vote

[thisjustinm]

Vote today, no excuses.

Don't know where your polling place is? https://www.google.com/search?q=where+do+i+vote OR http://yourfuckingpollingplace.com/

Don't know anything about your candidates? http://votesmart.org OR http://www.vote411.org

Or, to put the cat among the pigeons, maybe don't bother voting.

Those are good points. On the flip side, regarding lower ticket races, if you do take the time to educate yourself about one your vote is going to matter more there (and they might well have a bigger impact on your life, to boot). Your vote still won't matter (outside Washington County, Arkansas, anyway: http://www.co.washington.ar.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?doc...), but a pattern of people not voting certainly will matter.

"Vote today, no excuses."

"I don't live in America" and "I am not legally allowed to vote" are pretty good excuses, where applicable.

Remember, to avoid long lines, Republicans vote Tuesday, Democrats vote Wednesday.
