I've been using BabySmash! from http://www.hanselman.com/babysmash/ with my 7 month old since she was around 2 months old.

She can press any key on the keyboard to get sounds and shapes/letters. She absolutely loves it.

I'm now looking for software that is slightly more advanced, but there seems to be a lack of games in this age range...

At the bare minimum, go in and cast a blank ballot. By at least going through the motions it will set a pattern for the future when you may decide to look into the candidates and issues beforehand.

Second to that, if you have an informed opinion on any of the issues on the ballot, be it person you want to win or yes/no on a proposition, just vote for those.

Alternatively, you can go the dissenter route and vote for all long shot independents in an effort to display your dissatisfaction with the available choices.

But for me:

I'm not happy with all the mistakes that have been made in the past few years, so I'd love to see congress change control. That is my motivation, but what drives you is your choice.
