For technorati’s pseudo-election,
I’m Unregistering to Vote.
The linked site wasn’t made by me, but I commiserate with it regardless of if it was intended to be satire.
feeling disillusioned…
Quoted below:
Dear Secretary of State;
I am a registered voter of Kansas who would like to rectify that. First, let me say that I take my duties and responsibilities
as a citizen seriously and want to do what is best for my community as well as me. With that said, I believe that the responsible thing to do is to have my name removed as a registered voter. I do not have the time, interest, nor ability to stay appraised of the candidates and issues that I will have to vote on. I feel removing my ability to vote will be more effective in accomplishing this than placing the onus on myself to just not vote. Most likely the temptation to vote that will be instilled in me by MTV and various commercials over the coming months will be too much for me, and I will end up casting a vote on issues and candidates that I am, at best, totally ignorant of.Take that last sentence of the previous paragraph as an example of how I take the easy (ignorant) way out. I ended it with a preposition. I know you’re not to do that, yet I did anyway because it was easier than rewriting it to not end with the word “of”. This is why I know I can’t count on myself to just not vote and would instead like to prevent myself from ignorantly voting by removing my name as a registered voter. So, please tell me, short of committing a felony, what can I do to unregister to vote?
Thank you for your assistance,
Jason Curless
