52. There's no need to feel that way
Edited on Wed May-18-05 01:30 AM by oxbow
With instant run off voting, we could vote democrat AND green and whatever else we wanted for the same office, and our vote wouldn't be wasted. Read up on it sometime, it's a brilliantly simple solution

"Instead of selecting just one candidate, our voting machines should allow voters to answer "yes or no" to each of the candidates. The candidate with the most support would then win. This would safely allow someone to vote for a Libertarian candidate, as well as a Republicrat, without any chance of wasting votes or spoiling an election. Such a system allows for any number of candidates, and has even been shown to increase voter turnout by as much as 50%."
