    A populous that refuses to vote doesn't deserve one.

I agree with you on on a state and national level, but I've always had an issue figuring out what to do at a local level. Note: always is a very limited term, as I've only been of voting age for a short period of time. I've noticed though, that coming from a small place means that many positions are unopposed and in that case what else can you but not vote if you dislike the candidate?
