Not at all important

I wish I could believe in voting, however I know the truth. Our votes (as the people) do not really count. It's our senetors votes that count. If the "people" vote in more towards Repulic, then the Electoral College goes Republic. I don't think it should go that way. I think it should actually go by the numbers and the senate should be counted as one as well.

The Electoral College does not determine who your Mayor, Town Councilperson or Village Ombudsperson is, nor does the Electoral College pick your Governor or district representative in your state legislature, nor who your state sends to the U.S. Senate, nor whether your county issues a bond to fund a major project.

Do not let the mechanics of filling one office determine your involvement in the political decision making of your own community. Voting starts at home.
