Imagine…having your vote matter

by Susan Harris on February 12, 2008

There’s something more than a little broken about our old and tattered democracy when people get giddy about their vote for president counting, often for the first time.  Such is the condition of residents of ALL non-battle ground states in the general election and almost all primary voters - except this year.  Dems may be fretting about the consequences of not having wrapped everything up neat and tidy by February 2 but the supposed down side is that here in Maryland our vote matters and that’s a good thing.

Same down here in Texas. The air was electric with excitement, the polls busy, and caucuses packed. This is what American democracy was supposed to be like: an equal voice for each and everyone.
