More people need this attitude.

Unfortunately the vast majority are only concerned with party (at least, based on this forum).

And I keep hearing from the republican guests on talk shows that they are concerned with their 'message' and connecting with folks (ie, they are concerned with winning/losing more seats) but they don't seem to realize if they actually do good for the country, they will likely be rewarded. At least, I haven't heard one yet, focus on the country's well-being.

Thanks.

I guess no one else understands either?

I don't know all the reasons I have heard of some. The ballots have to be witnessed by a registered voter. In some cases that was not done. Also the signature on the ballot has to match the signature on the registration. In one case I heard of a guy had his girlfriend sign it.
