Absentee?
So i registered to vote in Michigan so that my vote would count. (I don't typically vote the way that most Utahans do.) I got my registration mailed in time and everything. I never heard anything about it until yesterday. My mom got my voter registration but now it's too late. So she called the voting people in Michigan to see if i could still get an absentee ballot. Get this...i have to go in person to pick up my absentee ballot?! Doesn't that defeat the purpose of voting absentee? Ridiculous! So i either have to fly into Michigan to vote on Nov. 4th, miss more work to go turn in a registration form today to register in Utah, or just give up on voting this year. What would you do? Kudos to all of you who would miss more work to register and be responsible citizens. I, however, will not be missing any more work, seeing that i am already missing several hours this pay period. I guess i won't be responsible for any horrible outcomes that result from either candidate winning.

I hate to say it, but your vote in Utah isn't worth the time or effort. Even if you could vote a thousand times it wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket against the millions of McCainiacs in this state. So it seems like your options are:
1: Pilgrimage to Michigan
or
2: Sit back and enjoy whoever the rest of the country manages to elect. Maybe they'll get it right this time :|
