‘Marianne Love Has Voted’

On her Facebook wall, Marianne Love writes: "Can't wait to get in the car in a couple of hours, drive to Colburn-Culver Road, pull into the church parking lot, say hello to my next-door neighbor Mary and her fellow election workers. One will check off my name. Another will hand me a ballot. I'll step inside the booth, mark my chosen boxes, hand over the ballot and another worker will announce 'Marianne Love has voted.' A great American ritual!"

Question: How important is voting to you?
