 Does your vote really count?
Does your vote really count?
Voting for president and having your ballot be the deciding one cast - statistically, that is like trying to hit the lottery. The odds for the average person are 60 million to 1 against it, a study shows. picked by suebe 2 weeks ago

 A Wasted Vote
A Wasted Vote
When asked why they will not vote for a third party candidate, many people will respond by saying something like, "He cannot win." Or, "I don't want to waste my vote." It is true: America has not elected a third party candidate since 1860. Does that mean, however, that every vote cast for one of the two major party candidates is not a wasted vote? I don't think so. picked by JoshSF49 3 weeks ago

 I Didn't Vote For Obama
I Didn't Vote For Obama
Oh, I went to the voting booth. I signed, was given my stub, and was walked over to a voting machine. I cast votes for statewide races and a state referendum on water and sewer improvements.

I stood there, and I thought about all of these people, who influenced my life so greatly. But I didn't vote for who would be the 44th President of the United States. picked by Bornbad 2 weeks ago

John Stossel: Some People Should Not Vote [video]
Should uninformed people stay away from voting? Not should they be barred from voting, but should they stay away?

If you don't know the issues or all of the candidates, should you be casting a vote? picked by JoshSF49 1 month ago

 Minority voting power takes center stage
Minority voting power takes center stage
Historical realities suggest that blacks and Hispanics won't play much of a role in determining the Republican Party presidential nominee. But this year's Democratic primary and caucus schedule was designed specifically to give increased influence to minorities, particularly Latinos. picked by muppet 10 months ago
