Thursday

Only 57,603 voted. WTF?
The stats that i read yesterday show there are more registered R's than D's,
R: 83,155, and D: 68,325. But there are 51, 015 non-partisan. There is about 2,000 voters for the Weed party. There are a little over 3,000 Libertarians who probably vote R most of the time. I'm quite shocked at all of this. We've been standing on the corner protesting for 2 years and this is what we see? It would maybe be a better use of my time to help people register to vote. I'm feeling more hopeless about this country today than I was yesterday.
