Default To vote or not to vote.

How many of you go to cast your vote to the candidate of your choice? Or are you of the view that who so ever wins nothing good is going to strike, and there is no value of your single vote.

I do vote for the candidate who I think is the better choice but unfortunately in most cases it's an act of choosing the lesser of two evils.

I think I would vote for the candidate who I think will do good to the nation. It's better to make your own choice than casting vote without using your head...

I spend a good amount of time researching the different candidates, their views, their past records, etc. It is generally true that a candidate's past is a good indicator of their future decisions (generally, but not 100%). It is also generally true that in the months leading up to an election, candidates views often change from their prior record and once the election ends, their views often revert.

I end up voting for the candidate whose entire life most closely matches my philosophy towards the issues that I find important. Sometimes that means a candidate that is from an opposing political viewpoint, sometimes not.
