I'm not voting. I'm in Idaho, so my presidential vote doesn't really count, both because we are 60%+ republican and because we have 4 electoral votes, which won't matter in this cycle.

In Nevada we also have the choice to vote "None of These Candidates." Not that I do, but it is a choice.

My plan at the moment is to vote for all offices on the ballot at the state and local level, but not for president.
My son just turned 18 and will be voting for the first time. Poor kid.

I voted at lunch today. The sticker they gave me says "Proud to Vote." I think that smacks of false advertising.

Mom and I voted last week so now we're just waiting for the fat lady to sing.
They still have a talent section in the Miss Universe contest?

For the 1st time since I've been eligible to vote, I am seriously considering exercising my right NOT to vote.

I keep telling my dad I'm going to write him in... he doesn't find that funny and I usually get a lecture about the political process... but even after being out of his house for 30 years, it makes me chuckle a bit to get him going! Then, in the background my mom yells "Go Bernie!" (for the same reason).

I voted but used the write-in option for the presidential candidate. I couldn't hold my nose for the next 4 years.

Step-father said he selected the party-line (republican) on his ballot and the computer selected Hillary for president. We use paper-ballots round here so not an issue for me.
Keep an eye out.

To all who say they aren't voting, or are writing in a vote...
One of these two is going to win. Go vote for the lesser of two evils. No complaining for 4 years if you don't vote for one of the two.

Go vote for the lesser of two evils. No complaining for 4 years if you don't vote for one of the two. I have said this several times in the past. But in this case I must disagree. Vote for the lesser of 2 evils? I can't decide who that is. I like neither one, nor can I honestly say I dislike one more than the other. So I'll cast my vote as "Neither." There...I've voted and secured my right to complain!

But when I vote for the lesser yet still evil and they win the other side will blame me for the easily avoidable things that he/she will completely mess up.

Please don't ignore your responsibility to vote! Men and women die to guarantee that right for us. Certainly the candidates are not the best, but they're all we've got. It's up to each of us to make our vote heard. Hopefully the electoral college can be revamped so that every vote gets equal weight.
