Why Should I Vote?

2/11/2005 - Patrick McHenry

Why should I vote? The North Carolina primaries are not until May. I'm a registered Republican and the presidential nominee from the party has been selected. Why would North Carolina even hold a Republican primary (** for president**)? Would it not be a good idea to cancel the remaining Republican primaries (** for president**)? In North Carolina, I can't switch over and vote in the Democrat primaries since I'm registered as a Republican. I would have to change my registration in order to do that, and registrations have to be changed at least 30 days prior to election day.

** Addendum **

I modified the contents of this post on 3/8/2008.  Some local political groups who are campaigning against a local  politician rather than for their own candidate in the congressional race are misrepresenting my idea behind this post, so I needed to clarify myself.  I have read through their material and will be back with more about their mudslinging later :)
