To Denver Post:
The article “Caucus system excludes many who want to vote” makes me concern how close are the votes for presidency to who the people really want. Think about the situation more thoroughly, there are so many voters left out because of the bad weather. And I am sure that no employers want to give their employees a day off just so they can go to vote. In their (employers) minds, whoever is going to be the president does not bother them. And as a college student, there are many of us who are old enough to vote but there is no time to do so. Two nights ago I could hear many of us asking others if they want to go vote. Most of the answers were either “I have a group meeting to go to” or “so tired I want to stay in bed…” and etc. Maybe because it is the first time for most of us to vote, we still don’t have the idea of how important each vote of ours means.
But there are many elderly people who are not able to drive in the snow to vote, there are so many things limited the elderly from voting. And I think there should be at least two to three dates for us to vote, different time frames as well. So that the ones couldn’t make it to the first voting date may have the chance to come to the next one. Dates are not what matters, the votes of the people are. More flexibility and more advertisements for the young voters may help us picking the next right president.
Sincerely
Sean
