> One problem is that the 55+ demographic is able to vote in the civic centers they grew up with. You didn't go to high school or the library growing up?

  Sure, but they were far from being a place I'd like to revisit, especially not on election day. The Internet is the community commons of today just as much as a library or city building was 30-40 years ago.

    Are you really saying that high school was so bad you'd rather not vote than go back there for an hour or 3?
    • drivingmenuts 15y ago
      High school, for me, is 3+ hours away. And yes, I'd rather never revisit that place again.

      Absolutely. Try growing up as a geek in a semi-suburbanized farming community (though things have changed since then).

        If you want to play this game: try growing up as a liberal, atheist geek from out of town in a rural bible-belt town of ~7,000. Then, try becoming an adult and getting over it so that you can perform your civic duty.
