Last presidential election, I voted Ron Paul in the Republican primary, then didn&#x27;t vote in the general. If there&#x27;s someone I like, I&#x27;ll make the effort to get registered and mail in my vote. Otherwise, it&#x27;s not worth the effort of figuring out what paperwork I have to send, and to whom. Having said that, after my state elected the governor I didn&#x27;t like by a narrow margin, I felt a little guilty not voting. But, the truth is the democrats&#x27; strategy of funding a libertarian candidate to hurt the Republican would&#x27;ve worked on me too, so it wouldn&#x27;t have made a difference.<p>I also don&#x27;t think I should have the right to vote, as a pretty young person with minimal skin in the game. The risk is too great that I&#x27;d seek just to support the candidate who offers me the policies most beneficial to me, rather than acting as a steward, so it seems like I should be left out.<p>My non-vote is noticed just as little as my vote for any candidate in a presidential election, so I don&#x27;t care too much, nor do I feel a need to make a principled stand that will go unnoticed. I&#x27;d vote in lesser elections like US Rep, but my congressman is pretty well set for every election. He&#x27;s been the Rep for my district longer than I&#x27;ve been alive, and I think he mostly does a good job. He&#x27;s the house sponsor for the bill that required carriers to unlock phones, which I think has been fantastic for me, but in a freedom-increasing, rather than pandering, sort of way.
