Here is the ballot we will see on Tuesday:
No write-ins allowed.
You can either vote for Romney, Paul, or do an "undervote" (choose neither, and click on "Next").
Any recommendations?
Denying Willard the delegates is the only reason I was going to vote for Paul the lunatic. But, truthfully, I don’t think God would be pleased with me if I cast a vote for someone who so clearly stands with Israel’s enemies.
Question: won’t casting an undervote also serve to deny Romney the Va delegates? I’m asking sincerely, for information.
Truly, I think G-d would understand the idea of strategic voting - after all, mathematics and logic are expressions of His will.
An undervote would be less helpful to Romney than a vote for him, but more so than a vote for Paul. Imagine that there are 5 voters in VA: 2 for Romney, 2 for Paul, and one undecided. Depending of how the undecided voter breaks on Election Day, three outcomes are possible:
U.V. breaks for Romney - R: 3, P: 2. Romney gets 60% of the delegates, Paul gets 40% of the delegates.
U.V. undervotes - R: 2, P: 2. Romney gets 50% of the delegates, Paul gets 50% of the delegates.
U.V. breaks for Paul - R: 2, P: 3. Romney gets 40% of the delegates, Paul gets 60% of the delegates.
Obviously I’m oversimplifying, but it illustrates the point.
Would hold my nose, Vote for Paul and thereby do my small part of thumbing my nose at and giving the finger to the Republican establishment.
So, VOTE FOR PAUL (never thought I’d say that) IN VIRGINIA.
Thank you, SandA.
You’re very welcome.
Just voted for Ron Paul. It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it might be ... considering the only alternative.
It felt good to cast an “opposition” vote.
BTW ... there was literally no other voter there.
Yeah, I was #2 on their roster for voting this morning. Cast my protest vote for RuPaul.
OF COURSE y’all should vote for Paul, regardless of whether he’s your perfect candidate or not. I’m pretty sure Romney is everybody’s worst candidate, so any vote against him is one that could help deny him delegates and send a big middle finger to the GOP elite.
