Actor (Arnold) has poor voting record | S F Chronicle
Actor has poor voting record
Schwarzenegger didn't cast ballot in 5 of past 11 elections


Robert Salladay, Carla Marinucci, James Sterngold, Chronicle Staff Writers Tuesday, August 12, 2003

Arnold Schwarzenegger, labeled by polls the early leader in California's recall election, did not vote in five of the past 11 statewide elections, records revealed Monday.

Schwarzenegger aides said they were researching four of those five elections to see why absentee ballots were requested by the actor but not recorded as being received by elections officials. They said the actor, an Austrian immigrant who became a U.S. citizen in 1983, takes voting seriously.

The Los Angeles County registrar of voters said Schwarzenegger, who lives in Brentwood, voted in six of the statewide and presidential elections going back to 1992. He voted in the 2002 primary and the general election, which included a successful ballot initiative he sponsored on after-school programs and the re-election of Democratic Gov. Gray Davis.

Didn't Cheater-Cheney also have a problem remembering his civic duty as well? - seems like he missed more votes than Arnie

3. Yeah, he "takes voting seriously"
After all, he managed to vote in OVER HALF of the last 11 statewide elections.

What a dumbass.

5. Help me out, here.
This is a little misleading...

He voted in the 2002 primary and the general election, which included a successful ballot initiative he sponsored on after-school programs and the re-election of Democratic Gov. Gray Davis.

Does this mean Arnie voted for Davis or are they referring to the result of the election he voted in?

7. Interesting. Cheney has a lousy voting record as well.
Did anyone ever check Bush's voting record? I'll bet it supports the theory that he can't read for shit.
