3. In every election but 1 since 1972
even the off year ones and the primaries. I missed one because it was a one or two issue thing and I did not know it was happening.

5. I'm assuming you mean Presidential Elections Only.
So in that case, Four:

Gore/Clinton/Clinton/Dukakis.

Democrat til the day I die.

18. At least 17 times
ever since '72, I've voted every two years in some sort of election, and I have also voted for school board and other special elections. You didn't have a choice of more than 7 times, so I posted.

21. This is my 5th presidential election - been voting since 1982
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 04:46 PM by doni_georgia
And I haven't missed a single election since 1982 - including the one local democratic primary where there were only incumbants on the Dem ballot with no challengers. That one was easy.

30. You must be referring to Paul Bunyan
I remember him, he is the guy that insists that cutting down more trees on the planet will help keep the rotation of the planet moving, for in his eyes, the more trees there arre, the slower the earths rotation.

31. Right Wing Nuts on another Board interpret this as this years election
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 06:21 PM by High Sierra Buck
They think this means how many times have you voted in this election


I mean really, 3 out of 4 live in a vacuum so I would not take it too badly, since its way out of context.

34. How about more than 7x?
I am proud to say I have voted in every election since I was first able to in 1968. I am also proud to say I *knew* what I was voting for on every candidate and every issue on all those ballots except when I had to vote absentee while in the USN.

35. 1 Dem primary, 1 presidential (this one)
But I've voted in all kinds of things at the school or local level. I was 17 during the 2000 election,but Gore won PA anyway. I wasn't feeling political enough to vote in the midterm election in 2002.

and I already voted in this Tuesday's election and Kerry will win PA and take back the white house. yeargh!
