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.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO VOTE

Well, I know how you feel—I am in Soviet Republic of Illinois :( However, we do have a choice in Senators and I do have a choice in Congressman.
That said, I will vote because every single vote helps the popular vote regardless of the “blueness” of the state.
Also, though I am in a suburban precinct, I will be watching for unusual behavior and activities—ready to report to Trump campaign should I see something.
The swing counties noted in article are not meaningless—they are unpredictable and vulnerable to theft...They are unlike the 99.9% of the counties you are claiming are heavily skewed one way or the other...
Trump 2016!!
