Bryan Loudermilk is a mathematics and statistics senior. I could not agree with him more. More and more these days, people are voting on issues that they don't know anything about, allowing them to affect legislation even though they have no clue what they are saying by casting a ballot. What is worse is when they vote on people for office. What makes this nation great is the ability of citizens to have a voice in what goes on in the political arena.
Many people say that is a citizen's duty to vote in elections.
I disagree with this statement. Instead, I would like to modify it. It is the citizen's duty to cast an informed vote. Many feel that their vote will not matter in the millions of votes that are cast every election. By thinking like this, these people have little motivation to go educate themselves on the viewpoints of the candidates.
