What is up with the people who stand outside the polls and accost voters as they approach it?
“Sir, can I talk to you for a second?”
“Sir, would you like this piece of crap paper that tells you who to vote for?”
It’s like I have to run the gauntlet just to get access to my fundamental democratic freedom.
Do these people really think that they’re going to change people’s minds as they are entering the polls? I pretty much feel like if you are putting out the effort to get off your fat butt and vote, then you pretty much know who you’re going to vote for. If you don’t know this, the rest of us would appreciate it if you would actually spend some time learning about the candidates before you get there and not taking voting advice from some pundit outside the voting location.

I’ve said that old democracy war cry of a cliche many times before - “People died so you could have the right to cast your vote!” I believe that.
But I’m damn sure as hell certain that nobody fought and died thinking you would not have your mind made up by the time you got out of your car at the polling place
If you are that uncertain about who to vote for, don’t vote. Better not to vote than to go off half cocked from some flyer somebody handed you at the last second.
