18 USC 3288 is said card that extends SOL.

This is as good a distillation of my views on voting and morality thereof as I've ever encountered.
as long as you live in America there is no choice you can make that absolves you of moral responsibility for the American state, the only thing you can do is ensure that it behaves in the least unethical way possible
