This may be true, and I will certainly be keeping an eye on the news to see what the result of the presidential election is. However, a substantial proportion of the people on this list do not have the right to vote in this election, and are extremely irritated to receive a reminder about voting on a list where such a reminder is wholly off-topic. We would be equally irritated about a reminder to vote in Canadian/Brazilian/Russian/South African elections (well, perhaps except for those resident in those countries!). I, personally, would be equally irritated about a reminder to vote in British elections, even though it would apply to me, since, again, it is wholly off-topic in this list. Cheers!
