ESA Pushing for Gamers to Vote 115

Grooves writes "The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced the first voter registration drive aimed at gamers, called 'Play for Real: Gamer Voter Drive'. The drive is being managed by the ESA's Video Game Voters Network, an attempt at growing a grassroots community around the issue of games legislation. From the article, 'Lowenstein would like to boost these figures by convincing younger voters that their voice will have an influence over issues they care about, particularly efforts to create new laws restricting video games.'"

    If you want them to make a difference, have them en masse vote Libertarian at the local level.

    You're right. Unfortunately, my state (NC) has decided that it's illegal [lpnc.org] to either be a registered Libertarian or to put Libertarian candidates on the ballot.

    Unfortunately, this country is so completely corrupt, and the government is so powerful, that it's really too late for voting to be any more than an empty gesture.
