In the state I am registered in, it is not a battle ground state and my vote DOES NOT COUNT. This means I can also write in Dave Cummings and it doesn't mean shit. Something is seriously wrong with that. Why bother to vote if my voice doesn't count?
Every American should have a say. EVERY AMERICAN. The popular vote should decide, not the electorial college.

agreed. I live in a very liberal state that will be going to Obama. So if I vote for him, it doesn't really matter because he is already going to win the state. If I vote for McCain it doesn't really matter, he is going to lose the state anyway. I will probably vote independent just so my vote actually counts.
The electoral college is outdated and encourages corruption. It should be done away with and replaced with simple popular vote just like every other election in the nation.
