Uh, registering is all well and good, but...

For those of you who are already registered to vote, you might want to take a look on the back of your voter registration card. Here in FL, at least, you have to vote every two years to maintain active voter status. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that voting in the Congressional elections isn't that important, and A LOT of people only vote in the Presidential election. (I don't understand how people can think that voting for the Senate and House isn't important. *sob*)

That's all! Just a little PSA for folks who are registered (and have been for a while).

Checked mine when we went to register Matsu's car. Virginia is every six years. :Db

I don't have a problem with voting every two years, but as Som pointed out in an IM conversation, sometimes you're sick, out of town, or just too busy to get to the polls. I'm all for voting in the Congressional elections too, and I think it's important to know who's representing your state. But...yeah.

O Florida.

I voted two years ago in the Senate race (because Jim fuckin' Webb zomg), but the races last year did nothing for me. So yeah, sometimes you have IRL problems, can't make it out that day, or (in the case of the elections here last year) just don't give a fuck about anyone in the race.
