I'm a political junkie so I won't get much sleep next Tuesday, refresh, refresh, refresh. My vote for president has no impact here, but since so many voters don't vote the down ballot, it'll count for something down ballot.
I'm cynical about the process as I'm sure many of you are but I refuse to surrender so the least I can do is vote. If any of you have reached the "what's the use?" stage I hope you rethink that.
I’ve been in the “why bother to vote” category for a looooooong time. Without question here Trump will win by a landslide but we are a extremely small state (population wise) so nobody cares about our 3 electoral college votes
only reason to vote is for local elections & even then one vote does not matter (I’m super cynical & jaded)
since the wife is a naturalized citizen she is firmly in the you will vote and drags me along
might vote early or might go in on Election Day, still have not decided
snowed yesterday….and I feel it in my bones
Wa is a solid blue state so for Trump to win here we'd be able to ice-skate on the river Styx but I still vote.
I agree with you but I vote fiscally conservative & we have so many RINO’s that they elected a blue mayor a blue county commission and every tax increase that’s ever come up
only thing voted down was a 30 million rec center the city would run & it’s been up for vote at least 4 different elections and always voted down
I always look at my county and numbers cast on each item & not once has my vote been even close to mattering
