Do you vote in polls?

[shereads]

 

[damppanties]

Depends.

 

[lucky-E-leven]

I can't decide.

Would you mind posting another poll so I can see if that one helps clear it up any?

[damppanties]

I can't decide.

That's so easy! ---- Undecided, of course.

 

[minsue]

Nope. I never vote. Voting only encourages the evil, immoral politicians.

That's not good enough for me. I'm black and white....

<------- See?

I have to have a difinitive yes or no. I'll wait for the next poll to be posted and return here with my answer.

I'm going to have to send out a questionaire to decide how to answer that.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Seldom.

Usually I fail to vote because:

1. The poll does not have mutually exclusive or comprehensive answers to choose from, or
2. I want to choose an option that isn't in the poll, or
3. I couldn't care less about the subject, or
4. The questions are fatuous.

Sorry. Did you mean polls on the AH?

Then I vote if I feel like voting.

Polls have shown that people who say they don't vote in polls actually do, and those who say they do vote in polls actually don't. So take that under advisement.

Also statistics show that 87% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Hello gauche. I can't sleep.

Remember, research proved there was a need for New Coke.

 

[gauchecritic]

So why can't they just sell it to the people who they researched?

I poke at voles. Is that close enough?

In elections, ......

We were talking last night about the last presidential election in the US; anyone know what the voter turnout was?

Re: In elections, ......

We were talking last night about the last presidential election in the US; anyone know what the voter turnout was?

More than 105 million Americans cast their vote for president on Nov. 7, 2000; the closest presidential race in the popular vote since 1976 and the closest presidential race in the electoral vote since 1876. The 2000 election's voter turnout represents 9.5 million more votes than in the 1996 elections, almost a 10% increase in the number of voters, but only a slight increase from 49.0% in 1996 to 51.0% in 2000.


That's from the The Center For Voting & Democracy's site.

Thank you.......

 

[dee1124]

Thank you.......

You're welcome. By the way (I kind of got into this) since 1924 there have only been three presidential elections with over 60% turnout: 1960, 1952 and 1968, in that order. Turnout's been steadily down since '68, except for the little upturn in 2000.

 

[Somme]

...which equates to about fifty percents' worth of democracy. I do so hope that this time around a president is elected.

Let's see: 1976 was Ford v Carter, right? You mean that was a closer election than Bush v Gore? Sir, you astonish me!

What % of all voters is 105 million? And what was the final % for Bush and for Gore?

Really. I never heard the final tallies. I didn't know there were any final tallies, after the Supremes stepped in and played Kingmaker. And whatever happened with that? Wasn't that kind of dubious, constitution-wise? (Of course, who you gonna sue?)
