When you vote, you increase the number of popular votes for your candidate. And the electoral college votes of a state go to the candidate who GETS THE MOST POPULAR VOTES. Winner takes all (except a couple of states).
Not voting is just giving the opposing party an easier ride to victory.
If for no other reason, vote in every election, big or small, to honor all those military folks who have served and died protecting your freedom to vote.
How about this. Please VOTE!!!
Too many will sit home in protest on election day, just because their choice didn't get the nomination. Not voting, is the same as a vote for the other side.

That's still does not mean the popular vote is reflected in the bottom line.
Example, my state has 9 electoral votes and last election about 2 million people voted. If ALL two million voted for one candidate, or just a little over half did, it still results in the same electoral votes, yet could be a million difference in the popular vote.
Pretty well known fact, that states that are predominantly one party or another and have been that way for years, have lower voter turnout and feeling their vote "doesn't matter" is the reason cited for failure to vote
Also, the electoral college is in no way required to vote with the people. They have pledged and are expected too, but are not bound too, one way or another. How long until you get a few crazy illegal immigrants elected in a very important state, like, say, Texas and its once 28 electoral votes are now split......
Scary times my friends. All the more reason TO vote IMO. (unless you're a crazy socialist Democrat)

I agree 100%. And for those who think their vote doesn't count, so they don't bother voting, but whine, gripe, and basically bitch about it...shame on you! Same to the people who throw their vote away for someone who doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell.
