Can we vote for our own answers when a Yahoo Answers question goes into voting?
Q. When a question I've answered goes into voting and I feel like I have the best answer and vote for myself, the voting shows that I still have 0 votes and it will not let me vote again, even for someone else. It has done this to me several times. Are we not allowed to vote for our own answers?

A. There is a glitch in the voting and the thumbs up and down for the past week. If you go back to the question you will see it has registered, some answers say 6 have 100% votes so don't worry it will register.

How can I vote for my own answer as best answer when all the questions I answered are resolved or open?
Q. I want to earn more points and, they say, you can vote for your own answer when it's in the voting. Is there any way I could keep a watch on questions that are in voting? Thanks.

A. You can go to open questions and than click the buton that says oldest. It will take you to questions that are a week old to three days. You can look for questions where there is only one or two votes and than answer those. I read them and try to add more information to the answer than the other users has. It is O.K to vote for your own answers. You just can not make another account and than go and vote for your own answers. If all your answers are open or resolved tban there is not much you can do for voting. Just wait until some of the open ones get older. May be some of them will go in to voting. Have a nice day 4wheels

Who would you vote if there was a general election tomorrow?
Q. I've never voted Tory before and voted Lib Dem the last 2 elections and Labour in 1997 (how could I have, lol) but I think I would probably vote for the Tories. I have grown to hate Labour so much. I remember my late grandfather saying Labour were incompetent, nasty people and thinking "All right granddad". Now I know what he meant.

Mississippi Republicans, will you cross over and vote in the Democratic primary?
Q. Why wouldn't you? McCain is set, it's an open primary, Mississippi gets to vote for President in a primary for the first time I can remember. Vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Bill. Hold your nose if you have to, but this is important and the nation will be looking at us. I like Obama, I really do, but we're talking about getting Bill back. Obama is young, we can vote for him next time. Whatever the motivation, the important thing is to vote.

What are the consequences of registering to vote in the state where I attend college?
Q. I go to college in Massachusetts but am from California, where I'm registered to vote and have a driver license. But I would like to register to vote in Massachusetts so that I can be involved in the political process locally. What will happen if I register to vote here? Can I keep my CA driver license? Down the road, if I decide to run for political office in CA, will this change cause me trouble?
Asked by Republicus - Sun Feb 3 01:46:48 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The change might help, because you can honestly say that you've always been involved in your community where ever you lived. I doubt it'd be an issue, though. Your driver's license and your voting registration wouldn't be connected like that, so you'd be fine.

What do they mean that Obama can win the popular vote and not the electoral votes required?
Q. I know that this happened to Al gore but im not sure how this works. Whats the difference between an electoral vote and popular vote? What is an electoral vote? No public campaigning for candidates please.
Asked by LilLoca - Tue Nov 4 19:29:51 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The popular vote is the vote that the people make, hence popular. When people go to the polls, and cast their vote, that goes towards the popular vote. The electoral college is made up of elected representatives, other politicians [senators and representatives in the house], that also vote for the president. Each state gets a certain number based on population. California has the most, 55, and around 6 states share the least with only 3 votes. In order for the nominee to win, they have to have at least 270 votes from the electoral college. This is why it's also very important to vote, not only for the president, but for your congressmen!

Why do we bother to vote when it really comes down to the number of electoral votes?
Q. I mean, didn't Bush get outnumbered in votes, but won because of the electoral votes? I support voting and I'm not saying we shouldn't vote, but why do we bother if this is how the winner is determined? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.
Asked by Lorelei - Fri Oct 3 16:16:13 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because we are actually voting for the electors... I am opposed to the electoral college though and would prefer to elect a president based on the popular vote total. Actually Bush lost to Gore in the popular vote and if all the votes in Florida were recounted he would have lost the electoral vote too. It was a corrupt Supreme Court, mostly appointed by his dad's administration that overruled the Florida recount.

Q. I reached the legal age to vote just in time for this election so I will be a first time voter. However, I am not sure how the voting process works since this is all new to me.

A. Oh, your first time voting - how exciting! Val, The voting process has a slightly different nuance at each voting location. You don't need your voting registration card but it helps. If you don't have your card with you, then you must show a valid ID like a driver's license. Depending on the polling location and what time you go, you may or may not have to wait in line. I have heard of people voting as soon as they walk in the door and others who had to wait in line for up to 45 minutes. Once you get to the polling room, you will sign your name in the designated area, you will then receive a number and instructions to use the voting machine. It is very simple. You choose your candidates, cast your vote, and you are done. Have… [cont.]

What happened to McCain's convincing of House Republicans to vote for the bailout?
Q. Didn't McCain say that he went to Washington to convince House Republicans to vote for the bailout? And didn't he say that he was successful at doing that? It seems to me that he failed miserably at convincing Republicans to vote for the bailout. And he also failed miserably at assessing whether or not he convinced them. So do you want to vote for another miserable failure like Bush?
