Go vote, and take no guff

Everyone should go out and vote. Don't let others make the decisions for you. Jump in and have your say.

And if anyone gives you any guff while at the polls, hang in there and get that vote cast. And then rush to any media you can find. Tell them your story. The more instances that get reported, the more validity the basic complaint will hold later. Don't keep it to yourself, or wait a few weeks to speak up.

There's a very serious problem in our elections. Political parties are screwing with the system through machine manipulations, voter roll manipulations, registration scandals, voter intimidation, and schemes yet uncovered. It's a crisis already, and the sooner everything gets exposed the sooner we can get it fixed.

It's bad enough to see your prefered candidate lose, but to see the loss caused by illegal and unethical means is enough to destroy faith in the system. And that's the worst thing that can happen to a democracy.
