My question keeps getting taken down by mods so I'm hoping this sub reddit will let me ask my question:

Based off my limited knowledge of the electoral college: if I live in a strong blue state does voting actually matter at all? Either way I vote, or if I don't vote at all, those points are going to Harris.

Before I get attacked too much, I'd vote for Harris if I did. But I don't see the point in taking hours out of my day to sit in a line so I can vote when even if I don't those points are going to my candidate anyway.

I’ve tried looking things up about it but if their vote determines the president than why should I vote for anybody. Does my vote even matter?

I’m going to be traveling during the elections in December. I just came across usvotersabroad.org

Is this a legit website?

I called my local voter information office to make sure my vote was counted. She said there’s nothing in the system and my vote “doesn’t exist.” I have proof that I voted. What do I do?

I’ve been hearing a lot of peoples ballots weren’t counted. And I’m not a voter fraud, conspiracy kind of person, just curious - but I went and checked and neither was mine or my wife’s? We physically dropped of our ballots also. Anyone else having this issue?

I feel I never hear anything positive about either candidate. I usually only see both parties talking about why NOT to vote for the other one and it makes me think there is no good option. All just kinda discourages me from voting altogether. I know it’s important though, so I try to do my own research, but I can’t really make a decision.

State election laws vary greatly depending on the state you’re registered and live in. If you don’t share which state that is, no one can help you—an answer correct for one state may not be correct in another state. Please ensure your posts include the state before publishing.

Seeing lots of reports about votes being deleted or marked invalid afterward — Here’s a resource list of offices to contact with your claim as well as a sample letter that can be adapted and used as a template.

Please check your vote status, and if your record has discrepancies, please contact the officials on this resource list.

Im definitely left of center. Always been a registered independent for election purposes. When it comes to president ive always voted Dem. My first election was in 2010.

I live in California so i have the no luxury(or curse) of my vote not being decisive in any way. I was in no way voting for Joe Biden this time around. Gaza was the final straw for me but overall ive never been a big Biden fan even though i voted for him to get rid of Trump.

When Harris came in as the nominee i was hopeful that at least on Israel/Palestine she would rhetorically acknowledge that we need to consider heading in a different direction. Shes been more than disappointing on the issue. I was leaning more again on a third party or write-in protest vote. After all CA is a safe blue state.

However Trumps MSG rally has me leaning on just biting the bullet and voting Harris. I come from an immigrant Mexican family with a mix of different legal statuses. I feel like we just need to turn the page on Trump. The guy is truly a menace. I dont think the Dems necessarily deserve my vote but in the words of AOC i cannot do 4 more years of resistance nonsense. I hate when the Democrats make hating Trump their whole personality.

Also id like to keep advocating for Palestinians(i call my reps when i can) but i know with Trump in office we are just going to be occupied fighting so many other battles at home that the Palestinians risk becoming an after thought.

I can only hope Trump is resoundingly defeated. Wondering how other ppl considering 3rd party votes in safe states feel?

My father is approaching 70 years old and has never registered to vote because once you register to vote, you are apparently listed as a potential for jury duty. I’m not sure if it is like that in other states but apparently that’s what it is like here in Maryland. Why does it have to be this way?

I sent in my voting form for my new state, but do I need to notify the change or anything? I didn’t get the option to do an address change on the online form because it was out of state, so am I good? Or do I need to contact someone so I don’t mess up the numbers.

I have multiple friends with parents who literally wake them up and say "come on we have to vote". What they're really saying is "come on we have to vote for a republican."

My girlfriend snuck away with me and voted straight democrat. After her parents demanded she vote straight republican. Because she has balls and knows this is bullshit.

Nothing can fix this problem but education of the process.

I am 65, and I cannot honestly think of a time when my vote made a difference. I will no longer put bumper stickers on my car or signs in my yard. I will certainly NEVER contribute to another political candidate, and I will never, Never, NEVER vote again. It makes no difference. No one is listening and nobody cares. I will head to my local courthouse annex and ask to be UNREGISTERED to vote. There is no hope. There never was. (If you doubt that statement, try casting your vote in Texas for 65 years).

I'm a CA voter and am voting by mail. After filling in my selections on the ballot, I forgot to remove the stub from the ballot and sealed the envelope. I'm wondering if they will still accept my ballot or should I request a new ballot?

My friend and I often get into lighthearted political banter. Last night, I made a joke that it’s a good thing her vote essentially doesn’t count (because she votes opposite of how her state always swings). She responded that it’s a good thing she’s voting in her old state, a swing state where she hasn’t lived or worked in a decade. Now this doesn’t feel lighthearted anymore because it sounds like she is committing voter fraud, and I don’t think that’s funny at all.

I’m a POC woman and my white upper class bf refuses to vote this election because he “doesn’t like either candidate”. He clearly doesn’t care about the rights of women or minorities given that he doesn’t care enough to vote so I’m trying to find a way to convince him that doesn’t involve keeping our rights. In other words, how do i convince a privileged white man that voting blue this election will benefit him directly.

Hello. A family member is on hospice care in Oregon, with a limited number of weeks left. They would like to vote via absentee ballot 45 days before the election. The chances of them making it to Nov 4th are slim, but not nonexistent. They would need to apply for an absentee ballot, and they would need to give some kind of reason they have to vote by mail. My understanding is that once the ballot has been mailed, postmarked and accepted by the county they’re in, their vote cannot be disqualified or discounted. Are there any legal issues with this?
