:pop Was a column in this week's issue. Anyone ever feel like they shouldn't bother voting because their vote is essentially useless?
Their are 40 states in this union where if you were allowed to vote 1000 times, you still wouldn't be able to swing a state. These voters have no influence on the Presidential election.
You would probably have much more effect writing letters to the Denver Post or your Rep's. and Senators than actually casting a ballot. Voting even in local schoolboard elections, you are just one vote out of hundreds.
I voted a couple weeks ago but I am realistic enough to realize I have no influence in the race.
Even the big money guys who sent thousands to their candidates exercise little control when billions are being spend on the presidential election.
