A Reply to “Why you should be registered to vote…”

I completely agree that many people do not vote and that the majority of them are young people. It is everyone’s right to vote or not vote and that's as far as it goes in today’s world. The article is put together with strong points and good information to back up those points.

I myself am guilty of not voting much. At times it bothers me because I become irritated when people win elections that I don't like. But I guess that is what I get for not voting. I think the main reason I don't vote is because I find politics to be very boring and I don't believe that my one vote will make that big a difference. I know these are bad excuses but those are my reasons.

In the article it says, "Young people just like you in other countries actually fight and even die for this right." This quote is dealing with voting and young people. I never really put a lot of thought into other countries and whether or not everyone votes. I guess after thinking about how young people in other countries are fighting or even dying for their right to vote, it makes me feel guilty.

I think it would funny if people running for office in anything only focused on old people for votes. It would be more worthwhile since they vote more. There are too many people out there like me that don't care enough or don't even bother thinking about it.

This article had good insight on the topic of voting and I could tell the person writing it really cared about the topic.
