    If only I lived in a swing state. Then my vote could have meaning and I could get paid for it.

    Must be great to live in one of the seven states that’s allowed to decide our election thanks to the electoral college.

      State and local elections still matter outside of the electoral college!

        I’m aware. I already participate in those.

        Doesn’t change the fact that my vote regarding the highest office in the country is a pointless effort.

      I mean, you can vote and still get paid; I don’t live in a swing state but I got a whopping $0.17 for my efforts! It’s moreso about getting a voting plan together.
