I really don't know any more, I've heard in the pass how great your vote counts and what it means and now a days it seem's to mean less and less.

I mean as I've talked to a few people, they have told me your vote is pretty much worth less since they have who they want for the White House already set in stone before voting takes place.

So any thoughts on rather or not your votes really do count for the President of the United States. ?????

I think one's vote
still counts as long
as someone doesn't
squeak in by electoral
vote or get elected by
the Supreme Court because
of some hanging chads.

Voting is a double edged sword. Yes its noticed that younger people (our generation) are not voting as much as people would like but the baby boomers and older citizens are. What decides the presidency is the electorial college. The state votes (electorial college) depend on the citizens. Thus, if more citizens vote for who they want, the states will tend to follow their voter's wishes and give their electorial college votes to that candidate....yet at the same time, states dont follow what their citizens want. So the question that still remains is: do you think your vote counts or not?

The vote counts if
they can assure a
fair election and
we don't have another
Florida debacle.

In other words what your saying is that if people do not vote then they do not have the right to say noting, and on the other hand if they do then they have a right to wine and carry on etc. Did I get that right ????.

Last time I'd tired voting was for the Gover of Michigan and they didn't have enough of the papers for people to vote because they had a bigger turn out then years before from what I understood, and I didn't vote that time because it was going to take them another four or five hours to get them after standing in line for four hours that night. Oh well.. I have no big complaints other then this gover won't be back in office again.

You don't vote...in my opinion you have no RIGHT to biatch or complain. It's a privilege and a right...and that right can be taken away.

Heard there was a study once that less than 4% knew the difference between a liberal and a conservative, so WTF are the other 96% WHO do vote basing their decisions on?

So I say hell ya my vote counts.....drinker

IMO those few people are correct.i think voting is just to make people THINK the president is voted in but i don't believe the votes are even worth anything.i think it's a waste of time

By making the decision
not to vote, you give
control of the election
to others who will vote
for their candidate,
who may not be the one
you want in office.

The main reason we ended
up with George Bush Jr. (twice)
as President is because
Karl Rove mobilized the
Republican base, especially
the fundamentalists, and
they went to the polls
and voted.

yep! I'll be the first to ***** about Bush, I did not vote for him, and I do not agree with him... the important thing is though, I voted and I made my voice heard, I just didnt get what I wanted.

Are you serious? If i'm not mistaken you just got the right to vote this year....Yes votes do count on the majority. But what i'm really wondering about is how long have you been doing your 'homework' on this when you couldn't even vote. Sounds to me like someone else is telling you what to beleive...just my opinion
