Excellent points. I've lived here in NEPA, in a very red county for over 8 years. Before that I lived 15 years in red South Carolina. I always vote. Yes, it often feels pointless, and I know my vote gets overwhelmed. But I'll continue to exercise my rights and my responsibility until I'm incapacitated. It's the least I can do as a Citizen to support & defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
