Alot of people think that our votes do not count....?

Question

Is it true that our votes do not count entirely? or does it somewhat count...if so....to what extent does our votes count..?

Answer 1

Your vote most certainly counts. Many elections have been decided by few number of votes.

Two recent examples-- 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were really close in Florida and Ohio respectively. Had more voted on either side, it may not have been as close.

Answer 2

For the past 2 weeks CNN has been running a special Broken Government, it was announced for all America a must to see bewfore voting. Shame on any American who did not watch it , it may air one more time tonight. Yes there is a chance your vote may not be countedor the voting machines may already be rigged, One of the segments on Broken Government showed how they could be rigged before and after the election,as they showed many many mistakes also and votes that were not counted in 2000 and 2004, in fact Kenneth Blackwell and 4 other people are still under investigation on the 2004 Ohio election fraud.They will have paper chads in most states, I called Board of election and Ohio has paper chads. They will also have under cover people and people video taping the election. There is no guarentee they said that everything will go A_OK ,but we must try the war, our economy are in such a mess it,s time for a change could it get worse. P.S. Cnnits 635, the fraud on voting machines comming on next catch it.

Answer 3

In a Presidential Election the votes count toward electing an Elector at the Electoral College, who in turn, votes for the President. In all other cases, it's all you. Vote wisely.

Answer 4

Our votes count. Especially in state legislature, gubernatorial and congressional elections. In Presidential elections, the presidency is decided based on the votes of the electoral college. The electoral college almost always votes with the popular vote. However, as we saw in 2000, a candidate can win the popular vote and lose the election.

Please vote tomorrow. Our government was built on a series of checks and balances that cannot work when one party is in control of all 3 branches. Its like a rubber stamp for all of the administration's crazy legislature and policies. Lets bring the balance back and take back the House of Representatives.

Answer 5

true when the elected ppl care to please the lobbyist more than the voters can you name congressman or a senator who had a meeting about Iraq war before he voted for it. You lose your vote when your candidate dose not value your vote and dose things that you disagree with and there is where your votes really do not count you dig. To me is after the candidates get elected dose he value your vote its called life democracy which the USA lacks clearly its unlike most world democracy where most ppl do vote because they know their votes are counted and valued by the candidates. Americans in the bottom of the list in political participation in any elections

Answer 6

The only vote that does not count is one that is not cast.
Today your vote counts more than it was ever intended to.The way our government was set up the citizens were not intended to even vote for Senators or even the president.That power was instilled in the state Governor who would appoint Senators and members of the Electoral College ( who would then vote for the same party candidate as the Governor).The Senators were meant to look after only the states needs.Your Congressman and Governor were the ones that the people were supposed to vote for and they were to look after your interests.

Answer 7

yeah i think $2 billion in ads speak for themselves.
but voter fraud is nothing new.
no matter who wins there will be contorversey.
win or lose on both sides be will say it was somehow fraud.
but i think especially on the democratic sides.
because the polls indicate it will be a land slide. not to say polls are accurate.
i'm willing to bet any amount of money that if there is a republican win tommorrow and voters screaming fraud in the street, it will have to compete with some outrageous storey in hollywood. "mike tyson eats dogs" or " madona is a man"
when i was in ohio for the last election, in some districts there was more votes cast them people registered to vote in those districts. that also just so happened to be the week Maurcie Clarret came out and said Ohio state had given him money and cars. needless to say the people of ohio didn't care so much about voter fraud half as much as they like to talk about how much they hated clarret

Answer 8

To be perfectly honest with you, the new computerized voting machines are so easy to program any way anybody wants them programmed, to give anyone they want a win, that elections are for the most part pretty much a joke. I'm afraid that our days of living in a free society are numbered.

Answer 9

You vote counts, make sure you vote out all incumbents, Republican and Democrat alike.

Answer 10
