[quote=Anonymous] I have been registered to vote in three jurisdictions in my life -- New York, Virginia and (now) DC. In only one of them did I feel like my vote might matter. I read recently that the upcoming presidential election will be decided by 12 counties!! 12!!!! Most congressional districts are gerrymandered such that the outcome is all but certain. It's a sad state of affairs. In that vein, you really ought to watch the video below (and others posted on youtube by the same guy). He points out a good many absurdities about the electoral college, including that (although it's not likely), someone could win the presidency with only 22% of the vote. So, this begs the question, why do many of us actually go out and vote? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wC42HgLA4k[/youtube][/quote]
