106. I'm in Indiana and I didn't vote
Edited on Fri May-07-10 12:12 AM by Juche
The reason was that the dem candidate for the house was running unopposed in the primary, and the candidate for senate will be picked by the party and be Ellsworth. And because I live in a red state, almost all the local politicians are running on the GOP ticket. I could've voted in the primary as a republican just to get a chance to vote on local politics, but I couldn't find any information anywhere about what the candidates stood for. There were over 5 people running for sheriff on the GOP ticket, but I didn't know what any of them stood for and didn't know where to find out.

If I had lived in Ohio, I definitely would have voted and I would've voted for Brunner. But the primary did not have anyone running where I live.

By comparison, the GOP primaries usually have centrists vs more conservative members. The dem primaries, as far as I could tell, did not have centrists vs progressives. At least not the ones I was eligible to vote for.
