Then you're doing a great dis-service to your country. Even if you write in "Mickey Mouse" or "General Creedon" you still performed your civic duty.

I just now voted for the very first time ever. I used an electronic ballot, and it was a little confusing at first, but I got the hang of it before long. I was a little nervous that I may have done something wrong, but at the end, it showed me a review of everybody I voted for and I found that I didn't make any mistakes.

I was surprised by how long the ballot was. I saw a whole bunch of people whom I had never heard of before, and I ended up having to skip a lot. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. I felt so empowered afterwards.

In response to the wording of poll (sorry if I'm being anal and/or pedantic)....

Everyone in the U.S. has elections where they are today. Now it's possible that in some states, they have neither a U.S. senator nor governor's race (in fact, I know this is the case in Mississippi), but everyone has at least a U.S. House race.

And yes I voted

Congratulations on voting for the first time! I know the same feeling too, back in 2008 * first time as well * and I felt empowered as well.

It was worded that way because not everyone here is in the U.S. in fact there are people from all over the world posting here at WP! :wink:

If someone doesn't really know what's going on, I'd prefer that he/she/it not vote at all. Of course, he/she/it had better not complain about stuff later on.

Despite the negative campaigning that made it clear only fools and crooks were running, I voted. Someone has to encourage the Lesser Evils of the world to keep trying.
