				| i would, but i didnt see Big Brid's name onthe ballot I think he would be the best candidate
 as I'm not fond of our choices
 (not looking to start a political debate here, I know we are ALL entitled to our opinions)
 Kage is right, I heard someone say once, if you dont vote you aint got a right to complain

				| Lets not turn this into a political debate.  The last one ended badly.  I'm not going to interject who I'm voting for, those who know me, probably already know.  The point is, for those of us who are citizens, we should be voting.  It is a right that we should not take for granted.  Many people have died to protect that right, and it is one that a large majority of the world is not afforded. |  |

 That is all.
 
 50,456,062 The winner
 50,996,582 The loser
 
 Does our vote really matter?

 If nobody voted, that would be
 
 3 Winner
 1 Loser
 
 Then you would complain about not having a say.  Don't vote if you don't want to, it is your right to choose.  But don't get on here complaining about anything political if you don't exercise your right.

				| I already did vote. 
 I just hope the person with the most votes wins. And not the person with the fewer votes.

				| ohhh no, not the electoral vs popular vote thing again. 
 US population 75% Urban 25% rural.
 
 That would leave states like NM out in the cold.  NM keeps a political voice, due to its electorals, Same with many farming states.  I myself would be very upset if only NY, LA, and couple other very large cities made all the descisions.

				| I am not trying to point out the electoral vs the popular. 
 Because popular points more towards a direct democracy, which I think most people are too stupid to comprehend.
 
 I do believe they needs to be a general restructering of the voting system all together. Because when the person with the most votes loses, and the supreme court has to eventually step in... There are issues.
 
 And now, each side has 1,000's of lawyers standing by.
 
 It is just.... disheartening.

				| We segregate the country too much when it comes to nationwide things. That's my opinion with the electoral. Why should NM have as much say as california or something like that. Each person is ONE person. IT should be treated as a whole. The electorial is from times when people couldn't vote so much because of the lack of comminucation back in the late 1700's! 
 That is my opinion.
