Until recently, after amendment one was passed in North Carolina, where I live, I thought I was too unwise to vote. I was getting educated, but I was still exploring. No one likes ignorant voters. But I had already taken a side in my mind, and I didn't vote. I admitted this to another social site, and everyone recognized "the horror" of my confession. I admit it...I didn't get registered to vote, and I should have. Live and learn.

How about you...What prompted you to get registered or why have you put it off? (Please avoid saying "because it was the right thing to do").

Because I am over 18. I registered to vote 5 days after my 18th birthday and have voted in every election ever since.

I am not registered.

Neither party is worth associating myself with.

Thank you for your reply. What about registering with a different party?

what would be the point, no one party completely supports my personal views.

I thought similarly...But then issues like amendment one in NC came up. And I realized the importance, for me, anyway. At the very least, you can pick out the lesser evil. Just a thought, not trying to chastise you or anything. :)

I will pick the lesser evil, but that changes with the issues. So I pick the issues that are most important to me. I'm not gay, so amendment one is really a non issue to me, in fact the whole gay rights issue is a non-issue to me. I'm not for it, I'm not against it, I just don't care. Honestly I'm sick of hearing about it, it's like when the radio plays the same sh*ty song over and over. (On that note: No one from maroon five will EVER have "moves like jagger" NEVER! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!)
