I didn't vote today. Why?
Before you castigate me, remember I live in Denver, Colorado. And the only ballot *rips out his EV ballot*:

Director At Large (School District #1)
Christopher Scott
Mary A. Seawell

Both are Dems, and this position is nonpartsian, I graduated from a DPS school, but don't really care.

Director District #3

Jeanne S. Kaplan

She is running unopposed. I even have a Kids for Kaplan out on my yard sign (It'll go in the trash tomorrow though)

And the Initative 300 that asks us if we want to let City & County of Denver impound cars for those who do not have a valid driver's license.

It's yet another anti-immigration ordiance that'll be shot down. Hell, the Denver City Council said not to bother with it.

Really, none of these are referendums on Obama.

So I skipped this year's elections but will participate in next year's primary - and working my butt off for Andrew Romanoff.

5. It's not going to hit the skids
And my kid involved will not be attending a public school yet.

2. I didn't vote either.
But then we didn't have an election.

3. I live in Denver and I voted
I wanted to be sure that Initiative 300 is defeated.

4. Not sure if there was an election here
I didn't get a ballot in the mail and election flyers.
