I will not be voting. I have put up little article as to why not voting is a better and valid option.

“Is it funny that people voted “not voting”?”

I guess that there are several people over there that CAN´T vote in the US.

So Barr is going to win, huh?

Up until today I was planning on not voting for any of the presidential candidates. I don’t like or trust Barr at all (and not a big fan of the wacky LP), but I’m wondering if I can help the libertarian cause at all by adding a tiny bit to his percentage total.

In keeping with my feeling that the machine is broken and running without proper feedback, I wrote in “None of the Above” in all cases.

Is there a reason you’re deliberately lumping Boston Tea in with the WWP?

Is it racism?

Nice try, but I don’t think he’ll take the job. :(

Where´s McKinney? She is the only candidate that punched a cop.

It is heartening to see “Not Voting” edging out at least one of the primary vultures.

I don’t believe for a nanosecond that Bob Barr is a libertarian.

Agreed.

I voted early, primarily to vote against Sheila Jackson Lee (Congresswoman, 18th District of Texas). For President I wrote in John Galt. Can’t bring myself to vote for Bob Barr after he supported and helped pass the Lautenberg Amendment. Anyone who thinks it’s ok to permanently revoke a citizen’s Constitutionally-protected fundamental human rights over the accusation of a misdemeanor is not qualified for the job.

My thoughts echo Kristen – I live in New York, so it’s always been easy to vote for the Libertarian candidate. The fact that they chose a terrible candidate this year is just bad luck, but I still plan to vote for Barr. Bad as he is from a libertarian perspective, he’s still better than the main 2 choices we face.
And I, too, want the LP to have a decent showing.

Barr gets my vote simply because I would like the LP to have a decent showing. I don’t believe for a nanosecond that Bob Barr is a libertarian.

I live in Texas, so it does not matter who I voted for the machines have already been programmed to pick the winner.

McCain will take Texas, I just hope that by some miracle Cornyn (our dispicable senator) loses.

Here's a recent paper that might help you decide what to do tomorrow: "What is the probability your vote will make a difference?"

The states where a single vote is most likely to matter are New Mexico, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Colorado, where your vote has an approximate 1 in 10 million chance of determining the national election outcome. On average, a voter in America has a 1 in 60 million chance of being decisive in the presidential election.
