Wow, you are all really stupid. Please don't drive, make decisions for anyone else, or reproduce.
Too late on all three counts, n00b. Now go vote or STFU, please. :)


Get outside once in awhile.

using "noob" and "STFU" is really homosexual. WOuld you talk like that to my face, I don't think so little man.

It is amazing how all of you losers stick together.
Please touch my penis, gently.

Touch it with what? :Q
Pretend it's a touch-screen voting machine. :D

Voting machine that's malfunctioning, right?

There's probably gonna be plenty of those when I vote tomorrow! :D

Your votes don't matter! The electoral college system is set up so that the representatives can go with OR against the popular vote. Meaning that popular vote doen't even matter. Also, your vote will be counted whether you vote or not since the electoral votes are based on the state's population NOT registered voters. For most states (like NY) it is already obvious who will take the majority popular vote and all the electoral votes. Therefore, voting is futile. Flamesuit stat!

I voted absentee. I am permanent absentee voter. I highly recommend it. I can sit at home and ponder the issues, read up on the propositions and candidates, and vote at my leisure. And there is a paper ballot that has to be counted. Don't forget to vote, and register as permanent absentee for next eleciton.

Your tinfoil-hat ranting aside, you are also voting for local and state reps tomorrow, not to mention nifty things like DAs and judges. Your vote absolutely matters even if you live in a state where the electoral votes are probably a foregone conclusion (as I do).

Wait a minute... it's only definite because because DO show up to vote. If everyone thinks it's a done deal and no one votes... gee, I wonder.

If noone showed up to vote the electoral reps would still pick a candiate. I do agree about the local elections. I just hate the electoral system.:disgust:

You can register @ the polls in NH you know... :)

No Insane, I mean I'm too lazy to be bothered to go to the 'polls'. If there was an nh.polls.com, I'd be all over that.

Yeah, I figured. I was just letting you know in case you changed your mind for some reason... :)

Where's your polling place? I grew up in Nashua, so I know it well. I'll pick you up in the Stang and give you a ride there... :)

The electoral system was put in place because the elitists of the time didn't trust the masses to be educated enough to make such an important decision. Judging by some of the responses to this thread, I tend to agree with them.
And yes, I will be voting tomorrow.

Doesn't matter who you vote for, just get out there and vote. :)

"American's"...

I worry about the future of that country.

My voters registration card has not arrived in the mail yet. I registered at the end of August. I don't think I will be able to vote in this important election. I am sad. Hold me.

Actually, the electoral system keeps presidential candidates from focusing all of their attention on heavily populated urban areas and ignoring more sparsely populated states in the midwest. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a good way to ensure that everyone's issues are heard, regardless of where they live.

Do you know how many times the electoral college voted against the will of the people of their state? Do you know how many times a member of the college voted against the will of their state? Do you think that's enough to not vote?

No anger, just jerking your chain. You have the right to feel how you want and I have the right to know your candidate is a liar and an idiot. :D
