first time voter

I voted yesterday. yay. I voted to remove the income tax, but apparently my vote was not enough. OK, so there are approximately 70,207 people in Lawrence. there are 25,941 registered voters According to Boston.com 11,363 Lawrencians voted for governor. That makes 16% of the population. 16% of the population determining who will govern 100% of the citizens. That's sad.
