We all know what's happened in the last couple elections....and with the electoral college having the biggest influence in the outcome. Do your think that your voting really is being counted like they say....or do you think that our government chooses and the voting is just so you beleive you have a voice? Kinda makes me wonder because i really don't see how the people that run in elections should even be on ballots. Do you really think that money and congressional influence is what gets the presidential seat?
I kinda like this question.....good job me....:)

many points of your question, statement are true! the core question, yes your vote counts because if no one voted there would be no winner electoral or other wise. I vote because at this point in time it is the only voice I have and more importantly it gives me the right to ***** and complain when things don't happen as I'd like them to! For those who don't vote sit down and shut up!

Your vote does not directly elect the president, but many of the senators and congressman that make up the electoral college take into account the voice of their constituents (At least the good ones do). This means that most likely your vote does matter. It indirectly affects the outcome of the election by influencing the decision of those you directly elected (Or those who were directly elected by the voice of the majority in your region).
Don't get discouraged. Get out and vote.

I voted 35 years before I woke up and realized that voting in Presidential Race is definitely rigged and NO, your vote will not count. Believe me!

The last time I voted, I lived in CA and when I got home from the voting booth(it was 2 min. away) they had already announced the winner of the presidential election. I thought, how can that be? This was in the days of paper ballots so I know they hadn't counted my vote yet. needless to say, I haven't voted since. It's a waste of my time.

Unfortunately I doubt it counts looking at Hillary. More than half of Americans don't want to vote for her but so far she is only winner whole her life. If she will be elected as a president I will never ever believe in honesty of election.

I think the large majority of Americans share your attitude, including me.
But the reason I didn't vote before in a few elections was because I didn't like ANY of the candidates.
This Time It Can Be Different!
If We the People can get Ron Paul nominated on the Republican ticket, and keep him alive, I sincerely think he can become Americas First Patriotic President in a long time.
But he needs are support, I'm going to a Ron Paul meet-up meeting next Monday, in my local area.

I've thought this same thing before but i guess if everyone has that same attitude then thats a lot of votes not counted for. I guess thats why we all should vote.

your vote does not count unless you own the voting machines
