Sound Off highlights anonymous, brief takes on the news offered via telephone by Daily News readers.

Attention voters: you can’t vote straight ticket for president of the United States. You must indicate which presidential candidate you are voting for.

Don’t even think about complaining after the election about who won or lost if you did not bother to vote.
