It's here

The moment has arrived. The moment we wait four years for. The moment which for many Americans comes and goes with little to no change or excitement. Though also for many Americans this moment is beaming with chaos, anticipation and the hope of something different. Elections. Many questions run through the minds of many American citizens as we brace ourselves in the anticipation of another four years under someone's wing and watchful eye. Will it be a re-election of Obama or will Romney still the King's chair and become our new leader. The answer is not a certain one. Though the aspect of American elections is shaded in speculation and controversy. Topics such as the date we hold our elections to the process of placing our ballots are shrouded in unnecessary traditions. Do Americans make electing our officials too difficult. Many Americans are just too lazy to even register to vote; could our country automatically enroll us to vote to erase this extra and unnecessary step in the process. Could we change the voting day to make it more manageable and much more easily accessible to the average American? Are there ways to increase the percentage of Americans who vote? Does the White House and government even want everyone to vote or do they keep these traditions and rules to limit voters to mainly higher class whites? Personally I think it's a little of both. American just may be too lazy and not see enough reason or gain to make changes to these traditions. This has been the way since we began voting and changing would be challenging our constitution and our traditions.
