I felt like adding my two-cents to some vote shaming stories making their way around social media. Vote-shaming is when some entity points out that you have not voted in past elections. In my example, one of our voting age children received a glossy mailer from the NHGOP pointing out that they had not voted in 2008, 2010, 2012, or 2014.
They got 0/4, Grade: very poor.
This is true. He did not vote in any of those elections. But only because he turned 18 in late 2015.
I’m giving the NHGOP a grade of “moron” and not just because they may have disenfranchised a registered independent but because he voted in the New Hampshire presidential primary, in town elections, and in the NH State primary, all in 2016.
