Voting On Election Day

[Rjohnson]

If you're like a lot of people, you strongly dislike Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If you don't want to vote for either of them, just vote for who is running as an independent. Whoever runs as an independent will surely be better than Clinton and Trump. You may think that voting independent would be throwing your vote away but if enough people will do it, it can happen. This country deserves better than Clinton or Trump.

That only works if there is a truly viable third party option that can not only siphon off disaffected voters from both major parties, but also attract a significant portion of the Independent vote.

Problem is, there are several third party organizations and none of them truly stand out.

Meanwhile the Libertarian candidates people on the Right keep touting will more likely than not attract disaffected voters from the Republican candidate, with Democrats holding fast to whoever (Hillary) that Party has selected.

Now if Sanders had bolted and started an independent run, that might have weakened the Democrats and made it a four way race with a third party possible win.

That ship has sailed with his endorsement of Hillary.

If we take this through to its logical conclusion, nobody will have enough electoral votes to become President. So guess who will become President? That's right. whoever the House of Reps choses. And given the Republican majority, my prediction is that it will be mostly Republicans that will be happy with the outcome.

the topic "voting on election day" is a novel idea.
The Dems made an art form out of registering and then taking the "new registrars" to the polls 3 and 4 months early to vote for their candidate, before they heard debate, policy, or otherwise. I draw a connection between that mindset and the stupid man in office at present.

careful what you ask for comes to mind
