We all know that the popular vote means jack crap in the US. The Electoral College is the elitist group that actually casts the votes and makes the big decision.

So, will your voice be heard in your state on the big day? Do you fall in with the majority? When you check out the maps that label a state as either red or blue, do you relate to the majority? Are you a die-hard Green or Libertarian and are frustrated that your voice will never make it to the Electoral College?

My Take:

I live in California. California pretty much always sides with the Democrats, especially this election year. I have always voted Libertarian. This is the first year that I do not support the Libertarian candidate. I have not decided who I will vote for, but it will most likely be a third party write-in. I do not expect my state to reflect my vote. I am not frustrated with this fact. I accept it as an inevitable reality and hope that sometime our system will hear the now-silenced voices of our enthusiastic third parties. By casting a vote for Green, Libertarian, Constitution, Independent, or other under-represented parties, I show the system that I want these dissenting voices to be heard.
