Then again, I bet that problem returns if we have another landslide election.


I have always voted during the day (when I went to the polls) so it didn't really affect me. However, I can see where it does take something out of it when you know the winner before your vote is cast. IF your guy didn't win why vote & if you're guy did win, why vote? confused Of course that's excluding the importance of whatever propositions are on ballots.
