Maybe Graham Clark can help me find one of these early voting activists who are doing their civic duty and helping everybody vote early. So far, I haven't found one on my own.
What I have found, on three occasions around campus and once knocking on my dorm room door, was a person wearing a blue shirt asking if I'm a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama. I tell them no, and they say, "oh" and stare at me like I've got the plague. Then he or she will mumble "OK" and walk away.
If they were doing their civic duty, wouldn't they be trying to get every person to vote, regardless of race, creed, origin, social status or political affiliation?
Maybe I missed something, but when you only want people who support your viewpoint to vote, most people stop calling it civic activism and start calling it plain old campaigning.
Of course, I really am shocked that Obama supporters would want to pick and choose who gets to vote. I mean, after all, their candidate isn't doing anything like that with wealth redistribution or anything like that, right? That would be downright socialism. Oh, wait.
