One of the main reasons for voter apathy is the lack of people who are willing to stand for office and be abused by the twits who either did not vote or whose candidate did not win. Jasper Fforde stated it succinctly in his novel “The Fourth Bear”: “If you ever think you might want a career in politics, Inspector, think again. It’s merely a continuous and mostly vain attempt to keep several groups of people with opposing needs and agendas happy, and knowing in your heart of hearts that you cannot, and being lambasted for your hard work in the bargain.” I can make this statement with assurance being in my 14th year as a Town Councilmember. Doesn’t matter what you do, someone will whine, complain and tell you how you are doing it all wrong. However, ask them to be on a committee or task force to address the matter and they are missing in action.

It doesn’t matter how you vote in Kansas. The Secretary of State won’t let the ballots be audited so they just call the race however they want!

If the voting machine is electronic, then I don’t really know what I’ve done. They can be hacked.
