Everyone's vote is supposed to count. In my younger days, I really felt like my vote DID count. Call it naivete or just wishful thinking.

I know some here will probably jump on me for this opinion BUT, I long ago lost the pride, and the feeling that the government was actually hearing MY voice when I pulled that lever to cast my vote.

I am of the opinion that NO... your vote no longer counts as it should. I still vote. The failing will not be on my end for as long as I can help it. I vote every single chance I get.

Whether my ASSumption is right or not, this is the way I feel. I see too many more people that feel the exact same way. So IMO something IS wrong one way or the other. If a large portion of people get the same feeling, then something needs to change. The government should work a little harder to restore the people's lost faith in the system instead of ignoring it.

It does count!!!! Don't let them fool you!!!

All you have to do is to vote for the winning side, then your vote will have "counted"!!

One of the problems in the UK is the apathy towrds voting in general. Unless its a vote for the X factor or Britains got talent that is

What really gets me in this case is that it could have been one of my votes that was miscounted because the names of the people being voted for are similar.

Errors on the behalf of those counting should not be sweeped under the table as if to say ok nothing to see here. The fact of the matter is that some peoples Votes did not count and we now have someone elected into a position of influence that could have got in on a miscount.

Your vote counts for smaller local positions and possibly even senators. But for presidents? Hell no. Even if it did count, you have two candidates that are identical except for maybe a few differences. I'm not ever voting for a president again, ever. Not after finding out the truth about Ron Paul atleast.

They even admit you aren't really voting for the president. You're voting for an elector...

However, I am voting out my congress men. They've supported the NDAA, supported the libya war, etc. And besides that, I'm sick of the career politicians. I emailed my congressmen accusing them of supporting the libya war to make money off oil (cause otherwise they wouldve attempted an impeachment on the pres), and got no answer. What's that tell you? They would've sent me a form letter telling me i was wrong if i was wrong.

I bet I'm on the no fly list...

Simple answer no your vote does not count for a hill of moldy beans. The fact of the matter is if a person can win the popular vote and not I repeat not win the election that goes to show how little your vote counts.

Did you know that the electorates who actually vote for the president can ignore the popular vote of the respective state, county or what have you that they represent?

Now I’m not saying don’t vote, by all means vote get your voice out there, it is your responsibility as a citizen of voting age to do so.

Of course it doesnt count. What makes anyone think that it does? Votes dont elect Politicians...or American IDOL...private interests and companies and TPTB do.

Voting is an illusion that makes us all think we have a say...when really...we dont. You'll see. Wait until this next election....and next weeks final AMERICAN IDOL.
