1. Excellent strategy. Feel good about GA, but not quite ready to call it Blue, tho close.

2. I will never understand why people willfully do not vote.

3. It's easy to know. just ask people who don't want to serve on

DU juries or a real jury or say please and thank you or kick a dog.

All kinds of situations.

7. Reasons I've heard.

These aren't mine, I vote.
They hope to avoid Jury service,
"it only encourages them",
"they just pick who they want, our vote doesn't matter".
It consistently angers me, but can I make someone vote? I can't.

9. I have heard those too. "our vote doesn't matter" is one I used to hear from my mother. When my

granddaughters turned 18, I made sure they registered to vote and I make sure they vote in EVERY election. Hopefully, they will continue after I'm gone.

5. When they throw out voters registration cards And Ballots too

It’s no wonder young people are giving up

6. From above article

Figures released by the Texas secretary of state show that more than 24,000 Texas voters had their ballots rejected in the March primary. The rejection rate is a significant increase over previous elections.

10. It's unacceptable that we're in the bottom ten of states every election in voter turnout
