No local races, hal? No bond issues or charter amendments or referendums?
Nothing that I can get myself to care about... I use to be very serious about voting, but after 25 years realized that if I had never voted, not a damned thing would have been different.
Well, as a drop-in-the-ocean comment, you could make the same argument about paying taxes.
Pay taxes. Also vote. We all depend on it.

If your rationale is correct for you, it's almost certainly correct for tens of thousands of your neighbors.
If all of you don't vote based on that rationale, then there will be consequences.

In Minnesota, Sen. Franken won by just 300 votes in 2008. It would have been bad if we had had a bunch of hals. Everyone knows about Florida in 2000. Vote like your future depended on it.

Real Republican Americans won't let this fraud go unaddressed!
(especially in swing states)

Prop 61, you ought to be motivated if only because Big Pharma is spending upward of $100 million to thwart it.
