You're so right that is why I could never consider not voting, even if the outcome is known. LOL on the Eris!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jennifer "btw, is that really you on the ID card? ;)" Alas yes. It's a terrible pic but they would not take another one because they are extremely demanding (white background, standard size, etc.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Monica : "Is there no electronic vote in France? Here the voting system is electronic, very practical and secure." Yes they are introducing it, but people are extremely reluctant to it. Remember France is an old country! As for the compulsory vote, I'm against it as I think it should simply remain a civic duty: if you don't vote, you should simply have no right to complain!<BR/><BR/>Petrea wouldn't it be funny if all US CDP bloggers would take an inside voting booth photo in November??<BR/><BR/>Photolicious. You have the right to secrecy but you can publicize your vote if you wish. Just like in all democracies I think.<BR/><BR/>Lucio. Your story is, alas, pretty common everywhere in the world.<BR/><BR/>Lynn "can we have an updated profile perhaps at some point too?
