so you think your vote doesnt count eh? will it really is meaningless - unless you live in one of the many battleground states! then your vote means everything. in some of these states, kerry or bush only won by a margin of a few hundred votes. bush only won the last election by 100,000 votes in ohio. 100k votes decided the 04' election! the democrats have a better lead over the repugs in the number of safe states and electoral votes that they have, and only need 83 more electoral votes that they can pick up in the battleground states to hit the 270 mark, while repugs have a long way to go, needing 143 more electoral college votes. so no to the girl from england who wrote that it means nothing because of winner takes all, in order to get all of those state's electoral college votes you still have to win the popular vote. its only meaningless if you live in a heavily blue (democrat) blue state or heavily republican (red) state, but if you live in any of the battelground states, then yes your vote means everything. plus michigan and ohio will be two key states that will be in play, meaning they will be battleground states. a limited number of votes will decide the election in these two states. in michigan alone we have over 800,000 Muslims who live there, while the governor of Ohio boasts 150,000 Muslims in his state. remember bush only won the last election and Ohio by only 100,000 votes!
