The last day to register to vote in the General Election was Wednesday, October 11. Do you feel your vote is significant enough, that you'll take part in the election?

"Yes, because I can't believe some of the things that are going on. Immigration is an issue; they're trying to keep them out of here, and the ones that are here don't get benefits. They work hard jobs, they don't get health insurance, and they can't buy a house. So, basically they're just working for free." |

"I don't vote, because you don't know what they're doing with your vote. When the ballots are counted, they're either ripping them up or they're cheating. That's just their way of trying to make you feel like you're important. Your vote doesn't count." |

"I believe that votes are significant; however, I think the general population believes that they're not and that no matter how you vote or how many people vote that the government's just going to do what they want anyway. People have become jaded with the whole voting system. Nobody's willing to get organized or put forth the effort. Everyone has too much family, or work, or daily life to deal with. That's also another trap that the government, society, advertisers, and the media have led us into."

"It should make a difference, but it doesn't. If they want to win they're going to cheat regardless of what we do or what we vote on. It doesn't matter what we say. There's a way to get around everything, and if they find a way they're going to cheat."

"Yes, because one vote can make a difference. That's pretty much all there is to it."
