This is one of my pet peeves! I've ALWAYS voted, except once when I was in the hospital a few days longer than expected. (Had I known, I would have voted by absentee ballot.) And yet, it's still government by and for the people, because people have the choice to participate or not. Mandating that people vote isn't democratic either. lots of love Anne
