I didn't vote. I was planning on voting but then found out that our voting location was inside of a church. I didn't fell comfortable combining politics and religion. I also knew my state had a majority towards Obama, so even though I should of voted for the sake of voting, I was pretty sure my vote for Obama was going to be one of many. I felt really bad inside because of people of the past have died to give me the right to vote but the reasons to not vote started to outweigh the guilt of not voting.
I was going to vote for Obama and leave the rest of my ballot blank for other open elections. I didn't know enough about the other open seats in my state/neighborhood to make a good vote. With two kids under the age of two, free time is almost an illusion.Throw in the fact we are moving from our current residence in 7 months and it only gives me more reason not to vote for any particular candidate within my county/city. I also wasn't willing to just pick Democrats (because of my intention to vote for Obama/Dem) for my whole ballot because that defeats the purpose of democracy. I hate when people vote for one whole party without figuring out if they believe in each of the candidates ideas/beliefs.
