Want to drive a Liberal crazy? I know... it's not hard to do. Yes, there is the usual steps of laying the facts on them. That alone is usually enough to raise their blood pressure to a dangerous level. But if you really, really want to drive them nuts then do this:
Simply remind them that YOUR vote has just much weight as their vote. Regardless of income, education level, what blogs you follow, who your friends are, the intials after your name, the lack of initials after your name, the degrees on your wall, the lack of degrees on your wall, the size of your house, the numbers on your paycheck, the balance in your bank account, what party you belong to, what groups you belong to, the color of your skin, what your sexual preference is, what religion you belong to, the town you live in, the car you drive, and yes, even your carbon footprint.
NONE of it matters.
one person = one vote.
So let them act smug and elitist. Let them talk down to you and treat you as if you're just an ignorant redneck. It doesn't matter. Because even if you fit right into that Ignorant Redneck sterotype, their vote does not count more than your vote.
Just be sure to vote!
And after the election, Oregon voters can use the link below to check that their ballot was received and processed:

There was actually a (very scary) court ruling in a part of NY that tried to change "1 person, 1 vote" to adjust for people with "harder" lives who could not come out and vote as easily. I'll try to find the link
