I know you all are busy, but remember to vote today.

Unfortunately, in many states, your vote is completely useless. One vote doesn't make a difference because elections are rarely won by one vote. The electoral college makes useless voting even more common. See how the Presidential candidates didn't visit 40 of the 50 states during the final few days.

If you get into a car accident on the way home from the polls, you will or should regret voting. If there is a patient in the ER and you sneak off to vote and the patient complains to the chair, that's another reason to regret voting.

On the other hand, I risked a car accident or other disaster and did vote.

The above is an idiotic statement. If everyone was apathetic like you described above, then it does matter. Go vote!

If you ever want to get really political about something and you write to your political leaders and such they can look up to see if you are a voter or not. If you are then your voice will carry more weight than if you are a non voter.

The presidential election is not the only thing that counts. All those local elections and state measures are important too.

But alas.. the voting is over. It was an hour of waiting. Man!... next year absentee all the way!

I did early voting this year and I will do it from now on... much much better!

Call me apathetic but I did vote and I did contribute to the campaign, both political and to the American Academy of Ophthalmology's Ophthpac.

I'm glad to hear that you contributed to OPHTHPAC!

Sorry for my comments then.

OPHTHPAC?

That's definitely one of the messier acronyms to say aloud I've ever heard of.
