But the real benefit here isn't Presidential or legislative levels. It's figuring out state Supreme Court candidates or local candidates or Sheriff who you haven't really heard much about unless you're a political junkie. And often the immediate effect on your life will be decided by these folks so it's important to find which one you agree with. That's a shame. I'm glad my state makes it easy to vote. We're a long ways off from hanging chads. | ||

It's just acknowledging that they voted because of the struggle of the people who came before them who never got to. Indeed. That seems like a respectable enough way to honor the memory. | ||

Or at least in my entirely ignorant view. Can someone educate me as to why American territories are distinct from states and why they can't vote? | ||
