Not really. Only if you live in a swing state.
I do and I plan to vote.
I am non-union so I will only be voting once.
Does Your Vote Matter if You Live in a Red State or a Blue State?

Every presidential election year in recent memory comes down to the same crucial swing states: Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado and Nevada... give or take a state or two.
I live in California, so I don't think it really matters who I vote for because the Democrat will almost always win, due to California being a blue state. Of course, I always do vote because it's my civic responsibility, but does it really even matter if you live in an entrenched "red" (Republican) or "blue" (Democrat) state?

Also.. just because a state is traditionally blue or red doesn't mean things can't change. People assume that Michigan, for example, is a solid blue but with all the people that moved out.. it wouldn't surprise me to see it start leaning purple or heading redish.
But right now.. I'm in Nevada.. I live in Las Vegas so we're being hit with all the political crap that exists... not looking forward to the next few months.
Newsflash - the Electoral College elects the President, this means the majority vote of your state determines how your state will vote in the electorial college; not the national popular vote. This can be good and bad as evidenced in other elections.
When good people do not vote (or their votes are not counted) then the occutards, sheeple, and the dead determine the election.
and 49 states in 1984?
The electoral system is also a joke.....
It should just be the popular vote.
The media and the Liberals don't want you to vote in a Blue state they want apathy , that is their mantra if they cannot get your vote , they want to dissuade you from voting at all.
