Out of the last 7 biennial federal elections, how many did you vote in?

[Bucky]

I'm talking about the November elections in even numbered years for president & Congress. To be more precise and not exclude the under 20 whippersnappers, let's change the question to How many recent elections did you not vote in, but for which you were eligible to vote? We'll start the counting at the 1996 elections

1. All

It would take something HUGE to keep me from the polls.

[Shiver]

2. President OF Congress?

:P

[Bucky]

4. Shut up you homophobe!

Oops wrong thread. Thanks, I'll fix it.

But FWIW, there used to be a job title of President of Congress back in the 1780s.

[Shiver]

6. I have several gay friends!

Damn, wrong thread.

For what it's worth, Now I Know! (you know you want to say the rest :P )

[Political Heretic]

12. OMG I CANT HOLD IT IN ANYMORE.....

...AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!

G I JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[MineralMan]

3. I haven't missed any election, federal, state, or local

since I turned 21 in 1966. I don't plan to miss any until I'm ashes floating down the Mississippi River.

5. Voted in all since the late 50's

Yes I am old.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Every single election since 1972

Even the local ones. I have never once missed voting.

[scarletwoman]

8. I've voted in every damn election since 1970.I would have voted in 1968, but they lowered the voting

age too late for me take advantage.

What's the point of your question, if I may ask?

9. I've voted in every federal election since 1972

Which meant that most of the time I was on the short end of the stick.

10. I chose not to vote in one congressional election because both candidates sucked.

And, the "lesser of two evils" ploy didn't work on my nose.

[Mojorabbit]

11. I missed one

I was too ill to go.

[Jennicut]

18. Yup, me too.

It was 2000. I live in CT so I figured we would turn blue and obviously we did. If I lived in Red State, forget it. You would have had to drag me there. I have voted in every federal election except that one.

[southerncrone]

13. Voted in all of them since 1974 when I became eligible to vote,

I'm just patriotic that way. :patriot:

[Captain Hilts]

14. All. Even absentee while in Canada.

[Bobbieo]

15. In every one since 1944!

[Captain Hilts]

16. Wow!

FDR: Good woman!
ER: Bobbieo is such a dear!

[appleannie1]

17. Have voted in all since the early sixties when I became old enough to vote

[eyesroll]

19. I may have missed a small local election once or twice...

None at all since 1999 at the absolute latest.

Sometimes, I've written in members of my family (when a jerk was running unopposed for instance), but I do show up.

[tabbycat31]

20. was eligible starting in 1998

did not vote in the 1998 midterms (I was away at school and paid no attention to politics). No primaries until this year because I was an unaffiliated voter until February and ineligible to vote in primaries.

2002 midterms-- voted
2004 presidential-- voted
2006 miterms-- voted
2008 primary (presidential)-- voted
2008 primary (state)-- voted
