[quote=harvey]People confound the rules with how the process plays out in any particular situation. The rules are that every vote does count. Sometimes the process plays out such that at any point in time a vote cast cannot influence the outcome. The process can be longer than a single election.
If a sports team is eliminated from the playoffs halfway through the season because they lost every game, the rest of the games may not “count.” But that does not mean the rules are unfair or should be changed. And the honorable thing to do is play with heart the rest of the season.[/quote]
No one in this thread has said that they don’t vote. That was a conclusion that you jumped to. There is a difference between not voting and having firm belief that your vote won’t affect the outcome. You haven’t cornered the market on patriotism.
