So glad to know that I don’t live within 500 miles of any “meaningful” county. I’m upset, though, that my vote for Moe Howard and Larry Fine won’t matter.
LOL Moe Howard, Larry Fine.
The article is not saying that other counties don’t matter...These are just of particular import.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO VOTE—You know, crawl through broken glass, raging fires, white-out blizzards, etc. to VOTE!
I did. Dropped mine off at the County Registrar about a week and a half ago.
My comment (which was somewhat sarcastic when you consider who I "voted" for) is that, for 99.99% of those voting, the national (and in many cases, state) elections are meaningless, since the rolls are heavily skewed to one party or the other. Heck, for Senator, I can vote for the Democrat, or I can vote for the OTHER Democrat. Some choice!
About the only vote I had that could have an impact is for the State legislature, where we have a decent incumbent Republican against a union bought-and-paid-for Democrat opponent who even the SF Chronicle has called out for her slimy tactics. That and voting against all of the propositions from all of the special interests.
I can only hope and pray that my fellow FReepers in the rest of the country where there are actual contests will do the right thing and pull that lever, punch out that chad, or mark the oval to keep this country from total ruin.
