I have voted in 9 US presidential elections, and to this day, the candidate I preferred never has been on the ticket, all having lost in the primaries.

Heh. This will be my fourth general election (and I never miss local and European elections); there was a point where I had never knowingly been represented, but I think one of the MEPs for the region got a vote from me.

I am against compulsory voting. I feel that if you are too lazy, or uninvolved to invest 20 minutes in democracy every few years, I don't want your worthless opinion diluting mine.

I'm against compulsory voting too, but that's one of the best arguments I've read, LOL!
