I'm (while no longer a active meeting goer) a Jehovah's witness, we don't vote to do so is acknowledge that the government has all the answer, which since they are imperfect they are going to make mistake.
Also no politician whatever his party is going to adhere 100% to the morals we believe in, so while I can personally see both side of issues like Stem Cells research (if it's not legalised at some point is going to become if it hasn't already black market and all the danger that brings) or going to war ( I don't believe in killing but I can understand the need for self defense, etc) It too some degree prevents us from feeling lately that we may have in ignorance perhaps morally uneased ourself.
Though I must state the second reason is more my personal believe as to why we shouldn't vote a JW. And I more than willing to accept that I fail on alot of other rules, at this stage of my life while I believe in my God I'm not an active member due to people issue and personal interpretation of a more 21st century realism slant, so only tend to do everything not to hurt anyone and love my god, and not to do anything I personally feel is wrong, but not judge others for doing it. Personally I feel God doesn't care what you religion is, or even if your perfect, as long as you try with all your heart to be what you see if a good person and do what you feel is write.
Please excuse any preaching I just didn't know how to answer your question any shorter!
