is there in a protest vote? Please explain how throwing away a vote is equal to using it to say something of value? Voting is a serious obligation. Many act as if it is simply something they could do if they don't have any other pressing matters, like a TV program or a trip to a mall...When there is no SOCIAL SECURITY, tell me how a protest vote was a good thing?
