Election Day in Pennsylvania 2010


Today is primary election day in Pennsylvania 2010.... Of course it's raining, which means voter turnout will be even lower than normal.

When I was younger I used to be one of those people who did not vote. I thought what was the point, I did not really care about politics anyway and after all, politicians are all the same right?

For the past 10 years I have voted in every election. I'm not sure whether my voting makes a difference or not in the grand scheme of things, but at least I have my say.

I vote for the candidate of my choice, I impose my own term limits and I'm a visible voter with a disability. So in the end, maybe my vote does make a difference... if only to me. And by the way I do not use my finger to vote, my fingers do not work. I use a mouth stick to touch the screen and make my selection independently.
