Does it matter

[lovemachine]

I AM STILL VOTING...just a question

if I vote? I live in Kansas and our votes always go to the Republican candidate...will it make a difference? I hate knowing that I will be voting and it won't really matter....does anyone else feel this way?


P.S. I am still going to vote

Yes it will matter if you vote!!!! If you don't think it will matter in the Presidential election, what about all the local initiatives and local political races????

I used to feel that way too.. Like is it reallllyy gunna matter if my one vote is there.. but this is the first time I'm able to vote and I'm all excited!

I'm from CA so my vote goes to the Democratic candidate, but I'm still going to vote for president and the local initiatives.

Your vote matter just as much as anyone else's IMO! Just because your state goes one way doesn't make your vote any less important!

No single raindrop thinks it's responsible for the flood...

Who knows, maybe a bunch of other people are wondering if their vote matters too and decide to vote anyways, and your candidate wins by one vote... Wouldn't that rock?

This is where I feel really bad...I don't know a whole lot about the local candidates...and I know its kind of late now but where do I find out more about them?

Oh and to clarify I am still going to vote...I appreciate the ability to vote I just hate that its not the majority vote that wins it I guess
