What are the conditions that would prevent you from voting in 2012 election.?

Research shows that in very negative ad seasons, people tend to not vote.

With this election spending a billion dollars between canidates and the PAC's, it is heading towards the most negative ad season in history.

Will this prevent you from voting?

    Only some type of major personal illness or major disaster would prevent me from voting. I may not like the negatives ads, but I have not missed voting in any election, be it a General, State or Local election or primary for over 50 years. I will not miss voting for the person who respects and will work for all Americans.

    I'm old enough to have seen lots of negative ads, not sure why that would deter someone, other then having them turn the channel. Its annoying, but thats how elections are. I will definitely vote, cause I know who I dont want in the White House.

    If I go to the polling place and there is some New Black Panther idiot there waving a stick and talking about how he "Hates all 'Crackers'". I could not vote if that happened because I would take that stick and beat the life out of him. They don't let you vote in jail.

    I'd either have to be dead or seriously ill in the hospital not to vote. I relish the chance to vote against the most incompetent president ever. I am voting for Romney and against Obama.

    I would have to be either dead or incapacitated to not vote this year (and yes, I plan to vote for Romney). That is how strongly I feel about the stakes in this year's election.

    Having to work all of election day. (un)Fortunately 0bama and his missteps has kept me unemployed since 2009 so I will have plenty of time (as will 15% of the electorit) to VOTE ROMNEY (and hopefully Ryan).
