While what you say is interesting, it doesn't do much to address what I said: "If I have a vote that doesn't count I don't have a vote."

A minor 700+ (732 if memory serves) votes determined the electoral votes for New Mexico.

If you feel that you do not have a vote; there are two things you could do.

1. Persuade your Democrat friends to go to the polls and vote (Only about 1/4th of registered voters actually voted in the last election) Get involved with the political party of choice.

2. You could move to another state that is more in line with your views philosophically.
