[QUOTE="donner, post: 1734007, member: 277"] I'm curious how people who choose not to vote on principle feel their 'protest' is distinguishable from those who don't vote out of laziness? Being a conscientious objector to a war means that you don't fight in that war and that there is one less solder to fill a job. Being a CO by refusing to vote means that you are just part of the percentage of people who don't show up on election day who otherwise could have. There is no penalty for the system nor for those involved in the decision making process. Also, i'm interested to know how doing away with the electoral college does anything for Oklahoma other than make it one less state for politicians to worry about. The EC makes small states and states with smaller urban populations matter more than they would vs a straight popular vote. [/QUOTE]
