I vote because the right to vote is a privilege given to citizens of a democracy. My ancestors come from Russia where votes were not allowed, or once when they were allowed to vote it was in a closed room with a communist party man and his machine gun standing on the stage and people had to vote by a show of hands for a communist candidate or another. Guess who won. I vote as an act of thankfulness that I can. 1
