I know, right? I tend to vote on just a few key issues (health care [oh, you know, for women, too, GOP!], abortion, gay rights), as the rest just gets lost in the shuffle. Though I firmly understand that voting for president is completely idiotic, as one vote holds very little power there. The place where the polls matter is your local elections, which is sadly where no one votes except old people who are woefully behind on, well, everything.
Sigh.
I lived in a town of 500 people for years. So, let's say, what, 100 of them vote? Maybe? Yeah. One vote matters. Especially since those are direct majority wins elections (don't get me started on winning states and the electoral college). That's power. POTUS? It doesn't matter much at all who one person votes for. Yet we push hard for folks to vote. Silly.
So in the end, voting for the Trekkie is just fine by me. ;)
