Quote: Why not vote by absentee ballot? At least it leaves a paper trail.
A couple of reasons:
- I like the excitement of voting on election day. It makes me feel the buzz of democracy. I can truly feel like I am doing my duty as a citizen and being a part of the process.
- Apparently, in some states the absentee ballots are never tallied unless they could potentially alter the outcome. So when the final results are reported (x people voted for Candidate A, and y people voted for Candidate B), these numbers might not include the absentee votes if it is a runaway landslide in the state in question. Since I live in a state which is extremely non-contested (i.e., my vote won't make a difference either way), I feel like my absentee ballot would be discarded. So I'm voting on Election Day so that I will be counted and show up in the statistics!
