Lol, Snake, not on the ballot, in the poll at the top of this thread..... Would be interesting to see how many ninjetters are third party, and which one.

JohnnyBravo - I completely agree. I still haven't been able to figure out why they're encouraging people to vote. The popular vote doesn't factor into the election in any way, does it?
We should be writing our congressional representatives to influence their vote, since theirs are the only ones that count, no?
I mean, the electors are the same people in the House of Representatives, right? Hence the 270 vote break down?
This is why I tell people to vote third party. Doesn't matter which one.
If neither candidate gets 270 votes, and the popular vote is 60% to one candidate, the House would be hard pressed not to pick the third party. That is, if they do their jobs and represent the people.
Since the popular vote doesn't count, might as well voice an opinion?
Somebody please straighten me out where I'm wrong.
