Me too but I still voted. I protested by finding actual policy stances for the candidates participating in the races I voted. I was genuinely surprised by the amount of politicians that took the stance of 'not Obama' and stopped at that, like that is a viable policy for anything. Unfortunately, a lot of these people will be voted in due to the people who live in this area but I can't really complain unless I at least try to change things, therefore I vote.
Along with Governor, my (worthless) State Rep both national and local, there were important ballot measures felt compelled to vote on. I suppose I have the same attitude that my votes will more or less be null and void but maybe if enough like minded folks feel the same way, we (my area) might actually get a politician that is not a complete tool.
