How many times have you voted in Presidential elections?

[elperromagico]

Poll question: How many times have you voted in Presidential elections?

[KaliTracy]

1. ...but not in the same election

since 1984....

[Gman]

4. Oh... Not the same election???

Gee... they should clarify! But, even though I'm not dead and even though I live in South Texas, I've only voted once each in the last 9 elections. Every one since '72, the year they changed the voting age to 18 and the year I turned 18.

[sam sarrha]

2. I'm a Democrat, i only vote once each election....

[ieoeja]

14. Why don't you vote in the primaries?

I have voted fourteen times in seven presidential elections: once per election during the primary and once per election during the general.

Bush - Carter
Kennedy - Mondale
Glenn - Bush
Clinton - Clinton
Clinton - Clinton
Gore - Gore
Dean - Kerry

[DURHAM D]

11. Me too. Ten votes - only three wins. eom

[VOX]

24. Same here. 9 votes, 3 wins.

Must have something to do with that damn "liberal media." :grr:

[Gman]

36. No... right, wrong or indifferent

Democrats quit winning presidential elections when we adopted the McGovern rules for the convention. I think the McGovern rules were wonderful for participation and inclusion, but they also hastened the move of the south from being solid Dem to solid GOP. In any event, the South was never going to buy into the civil rights movement, including people of color and other liberal issues so their move to the GOP was inevitable.

7. EVERYtime

since I have been old enough to vote!

[ChiciB1]

32. That Would Be MY Answer....

Is this a ploy to find out how old we are??

Just joking... I've voted 9 times, and that does NOT include primaries!

I'm A BOOMER!

[MurryMom]

8. Presidential Election votes

A total of 11 votes including the 1964 election (my first) when I drove over 350 miles round trip to vote against Goldwater. In those days being a student was not sufficient reason to grant an absentee ballot.
