Is there a reason to vote? Yes, your voice matters to others here and sends a message that voting is worthwhile as a civic duty just in the numbers.We need to change how the votes are counted, the electoral college and a bunch of other aspects of the process. But if we recede in the idea of one person, one vote makes for a democratic society, that's worrisome.
Am in favor of the Australian way which is a fairly substantial fine for non-voters. Aussies vote and are mightily involved which should happen without fines but hey, if you have to go that route, I'm all in.
