While i commend those of you on here who are choosing to vote for a candidate most closely aligned with your individual belief system (be it left, right, green, libertarian, anarchist, etc.), I caution those of you who are choosing to vote a particular way because your State is not up for grabs. Perhaps your state is not up for grabs (for either party) because people vote thinking their vote doesn't matter.
That is why election day polls are not permitted until after the polls close. Perception would too greatly impact turnout.
Each voter has to determine their own priorities. If your priority is the defeat of Bush, vote accordingly. If your priority is support of Bush, do so as well. Just don't vote one way because you believe your vote doesn't count. The surest way to make your vote meaningless is to use your vote as though it is meaningless.
