The one I live in does not, so there really is no point. And I have every right to complain if there is no decent candidate to vote for and I have no chance to make my vote count in the first place. Choosing a lesser of two evils is not my idea of a good way to pick a leader. Our two-party system sucks.I did not vote in the Gore/Bush elections 8 years ago and I've been complaining ever since. But both of them were total morons so there really was no choice then. If I lived in a contested state, I'd vote this go-around. I don't care for either of the candidates this time but they are indeed completely different. I do not, however live in a contested state and my vote doesn't count, so screw it.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThat's what I thought for the longest time, too.Then I remembered....It's getting your opinion HEARD that really matters. Even if your entire state is a bunch of Bible Belt lunatics who don't know shit about either candidate and only vote for "their party", because that's all they've ever done for the last 156 years of their lives... you can still at least object to their bullshit and make sure your choice is HEARD and COUNTED amongst all the throw-away, uninspired, meaningless votes of Everywhere, USA.Cheers,Ryan
