Wasted Vote Syndrome

Discussion
1

Steve,

  Even in a presidential race projected as being "close", your vote
still will not decide the race. The 2000 election in Florida was not
merely close — it was a once-in-a-lifetime, nay, a once-in-a-Republic
occurrence. And even in that race you would have needed to convince
several hundred people to change their vote in order to change the
outcome. And these people would have had to live in the right counties
in Florida. A few hundred changed votes anywhere else wouldn't have
made enough of a difference. So I have to repeat my question below: Why
should I vote for a person and a party I can't believe in when it's not
going to change the results anyway?

Yours in liberty,

  I do mean what I said. If it were a choice between Stalin, Clinton,
and a Libertarian, the Libertarian would have my vote. Why should I
vote for someone I can't believe in when it's not going to change the
results anyway?

The premise of the question was that "it was a close race" and
therefore your vote could very well make a difference.

Cheers,
Steve
