Buttonwood: Voting with the wallet | The Economist

Does YOUR vote matter in a Presidential election?

Well, yes, but with certain provisions understood.  I live in a state that almost always votes "Republican" in presidential elections.  So should I vote and does my vote really count.  Sure it counts and yes I should vote.

The state vote (how the electors are "obligated" to cast their vote) is determined by the precinct , county vote.  So if your candidate has been successful in persuading folks at the local level then that will be reflected at the state level and ultimately in the electoral college.

By The Wazy:  I still stand by my position that the office of president is the least important election we have.  Representatives and Senators are FAR more important, in my opinion.
