We already know NY state will go to Obama. So why bother voting for Romney?
September 27, 2012 5:13 pm at 5:13 pm #900742sheinMemberBecause it is your civic duty to vote.
(And politicians do look at who turned out to vote and provide more help to communities that produced more voters. That is why the Chasidic bloc vote is so powerful.)

You’re right that your vote for Romney will not really matter. But the Presidential race isn’t the only one on the ballot. There are other races where your vote may well count for more.
And, there’s shein’s reason above.

September 27, 2012 10:45 pm at 10:45 pm #900745Torah613TorahParticipantOf course I plan to vote. I guess there is a point of voting. But if I know Obama’s going to win, shouldn’t I vote for Obama so he’ll like the frum community more?
September 27, 2012 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm #900746shmoelMemberHe won’t know how you voted. So make the “right” choice. Vote Romney.
September 27, 2012 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm #900747WolfishMusingsParticipantObama’s not going to notice your one vote. As long as you’re resigned to your vote not meaning anything, you might as well vote as you want.

October 25, 2012 11:56 pm at 11:56 pm #900749☕️coffee addictParticipantI had the same question,
Why should I vote Republican in a Democratic state,
and now the answer that just came to my head is to show how many votes Obama doesn’t have
