Bill Maher had an excellent editorial on his show last Friday on the lack of voting

It is in the second part of his speech:

http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/bill-maher-serves-blow-voters-who-dont

MAHER: And finally, New Rule, instead of giving an I Voted sticker to the people who did vote, let's make the people who didn't vote wear one that says “I couldn't be bothered.” And then let's quit patting ourselves on the back for doing something we're supposed to do anyway.

I voted. It's like wearing a sticker that says I feed my dog, I flush after using the toilet, I keep my clothes on at the playground.

like how RW FL Gov. Skeletor-Scott was re-elected by only 60, 000 votes- that means donut hole low income people won't get Medicaid Expansion. So they'll suffer, maybe die like beautiful FL Mom Charlene Dill who had a heart condition, 3 angel kids, working 2+ jobs. She was waiting for ACA, excited about getting coverage but didn't make it, died age 32. God awful.
That was a great effort by Maher, wish he'd done it Before the election, of course.
Didn't care for the weird Rand P. interview, strange. *There's a post about this now on DU Home Page.
