The election is over and Maine had a 55 percent voter turn-out.

Yea! Right? I don't think so. One-half of the registered voters in Maine made all the decisions. One-half!

There is no reason anymore for registered voters not to cast ballots. Absentee voting is available by mail or in person and before Election Day. Or, you can go to the polls on Election Day.

So why don't you vote? Think about this the next time you complain about the government, health care, taxes, and/or civil rights (our rights).
