Yes, your vote does count!
When people say "my vote doesn't count," they need to be reminded of the Nixon/Kennedy election. At that time I lived in Illinois, Kennedy won by 1 vote per precinct in Illinois. A vote doesn't count? This is proof each vote does count!
I truly believe in this election every single vote will count, for every vote that is taken away, there will be one that will have to replace it.
To those people who use the excuse "my vote does not count" are the same people who are just too lazy to go out to vote and have their voice heard .
I recently communicated with someone who said they were not going to vote because there was no choice, my answer was, if you don't like either candidate, then write in someone, but please do not give up your right to vote but if you don't vote for either candidate, your lack of voting is giving a vote to one of them. You are also giving away a freedom!
Just can't understand people, if everyone would just read the candidate's views - there is a choice. The important thing is, know yourself and know the candidates. What is the problem? Dah???? LAZY, LAZY, LAZY!
Voters need to work for information. Most voters have the internet(s), look for information, search and do more searching. If voters care about America, they need to stop the flag wagging, or wag the flag, and study the issues. Voters need to get an over-view. Stop depending on CNN, FOX or MSNB, look for your own information.
TO THOSE WHO ARE TO LAZY TO VOTE--- DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME AFTER THE ELECTION! You are all mouth and no action!
Geez, hope I didn't break any rules here, but I am so upset with people who say "my vote doesn't count, or this election is between the lesser of two evils" The lesser of two evils?, my ass, get off yours and do something about it!
