To my fellow non "swing-state" voters....

[robphelan]

i'm a Dem in TX, so i'm bummed that my vote won't count - however, I feel better knowing that the opposite is happening in CA & they have more electoral votes than we do:beer:

Heh same here, but I'll vote anyway. Anybody else vote only on pres/house/senate elections and see a huge list of other offices that you've never heard of and kinda just close your eyes and fill in random circles for those?

No affiliation, I'm voting for Obama in CT even thoguh it is pretty much a lock anyways.

 

[bozack]

Just because, also to help do my part in making it look like the party I support gets some representation.

If you do that , you have no right to complain when local politics gets screwed.
If you don't know the ticket , don't vote it.
That's why politicians go to court over location on the ballot.
People doing this can give an otherwise absurd candidate the election based on location on the ballot and your throwing darts at it.

So by that definition I guess we're to gather you'll be voting party lines.

RD: in another thread I asked how you'd be voting on the "Question 1, 2, 3" in Mass - there's no (D) behind the questions to make it easy on you

Red? I'm genuinely curious...It would require to you take a political stance other than the simpleton approach. Might even require you to think. But ultimately it's 3 yes/no answers.

If you prefer your answers to not be public, I'd be curious as to why...they are political questions, this is P&N.

I live in Alabama which has voted Republican since 1980, I think. I do not consider myself a Democrat or Republican and I will be voting.

 

[ScottyB]

I guess I am in a swing state this election. For the anti-"voting party lines" crowed, I don't vote for Democrats (however this year I am mostly happy with the candidate). I vote against Republicans. Republicans represent everything I am against--religion, low taxes for the rich, corporations, anti-unionism, and censorship. I could never in good conscious vote for one, and I will vote for whoever can keep them out of office.

 

[AstroManLuca]

My state, Minnesota, was solidly blue for a long time, but recently it's become a borderline swing state. It still holds the record for the most consecutive times won by the Democratic candidate (last time it went red was 1972), but in the last couple elections it's been very close (within 3% in 2004, and just 2% in 2000).

So I'll definitely be getting out and voting for Obama. He's unlikely to lose Minnesota, but it's still a close race here and it's entirely possible.

EDIT: Also, I'm basically with ScottyB here. I'm not so enamored with Democrats as I am extremely scared of Republicans and basically everything they represent. I don't trust them one bit.

Why don't they? You said that you only vote "against republicans". You don't have that choice with these 3 questions. You are in a non-swing state, and I'm assuming you vote non-republican. So how do you vote on these 3 questions? I'm perplexed at your unwillingness to answer honestly. Well, I have my own theory, but in fairness I'll hold that back to see if you answer or not.

Would you prefer I start another thread?

I am a citizen. It is my duty to vote. People died so I could.

These issues have nothing to do with the Presidential race which is what this topic is about.
