I know that before the presidential election there were a number of readers who asked how to remain private and still vote ... Ultimately, there is nothing private in a vote. It is public and does give a great deal information about you when you do. I have attached a URL of someone who is being indicted on voter fraud. Ultimately, it was their business address that gave it away - according to those that I know in the law enforcement community. Given the emotional elections that we have had in the US over the last 8 years, I would suggest that anyone who votes needs understand that all of their hard work to remain private could be easily lost.
My wife and I were questioned by our oldest child as to why we do not vote. My wife explained it rather simply to him; at the end of the day - the rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, but tomorrow the wind will still keep blowing and honestly, very little will change. She went on to say that the only change that makes a difference is that which we do to improve the life our family and friends - these changes are ever lasting ... unlike Washington, DC.
