- Toby Cohen: Why do I vote?
It's my right, and I just want to.
I want to see that the right candidates get in,
but they don't always.
At least to my point of view, they're not the right candidate.
But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't vote.
I registered in 1945, and I remember feeling very grown-up
as I walked to register.
I thought, "Wow, I have finally become an adult."
We voted on paper ballots only,
and then they were counted, I think, right there.
It's changed somewhat.
We still vote on a paper ballot,
but it's put through machinery now.
I think you always need to think about voting
and should always vote.
Some people think, "Well, my vote won't count
"because I'm only one person in all of it."
But I think it is important that everyone vote.
It's one of my rights.
