Do you think your one vote does count?

I have always voted since I was 18, never missed an election. Up until the last two elections, I did think my vote mattered, or counted. Now, i am not so sure. The Bushs's have cheated & stolen elections, & now I am not sure where my vote stands if their names are on the ballot, & they almost have me convinced that all repubs cheat & lie, moreso than the dems. THAT is the shame. I will still vote for who I think has the better ideals.

Of course! Voting matters; it is the people who decide what happens. If we don't elect the right leaders, who will?? This is why unqualified or bad leaders get elected, and then we complain...if you vote, you can change that. One vote is not much, but the billion votes are made from single votes, each individual making his opinions and rights known.
On a side note, use those votes to elect Huckabee! (www.mikehuckabee.com)

Yes. although I am the minority party in my State, and the electoral rubs my vote out, I still like to do it. I'm a political junkie and debate with all my friends. I'd be a hypocrite not to vote.

No, I do not vote any more. I used to vote, but after the fiasco of the Supreme Court intervening in the 2000 election dispute and ruling that the methods being used to find out who actually won were unconstituitonal -- which they weren't -- I totally gave up and decided that I don't want to vote ever again.

Yep every election. No my one vote is not that great or really counts but in the overall it could in helping the guy I want to, to win. =)

Yes.Long ago women and blacks had to fight a very hard battle just to have a right to vote.That is having a say.Donations to your candidate are important as well by supporting the american way.A poor man's vote can cancel out a rich man's vote.Or rather the two may join.

Yes.
If there's nobody acceptable on the ballot, cast a WRITE-IN vote.
If you don't vote, then what we get is YOUR FAULT!
In 1992, Bill Clinton won the Presidency by getting 19% of the eligible voters, because the majority of them stayed home! (I voted for Marrou, because he was preferable to the other three.)

Yes, I vote city races, state races, and national races. Maybe one of these days I may even me inspired enough to vote for dog catcher.
