Blogging politics in the commonwealth. Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Elendil’s Journal Questions GOTV. I have never understood all of the fuss about getting people to vote. I understand why political campaigns have a vested interest in GOTV efforts. They want to maximize their chances of winning and that is understandable. But I don't understand the pleas by anyone else to get the general public out to vote. But if that still isn't enough to motivate you into exercising that right, then please don't vote! Subsc...
