1. With all the hackable voting machines ...they don't need to go vote.

5. Don't need to hack if you ARE the corporation that owns the machine
Just pick yer winners and who cares what the voters think.

What amazes me is that MSM hasn't seen the writing on the wall with those corporate owned vote counter machines: Pols won't need to spend as much once they are supported by the guys who count the votes. Revenue will not be that dependable when the powers that be don't need to buy so many ads.

2. Why vote if you control all three branches of government.

3. the actual vote is becoming one the least important parts of our political system
first you determine by money who is running. Do that right and the election -considered narrowly as the casting and counting of ballots for candidates- doesn't really matter. The last election should have proved that to the satisfaction of anyone still paying attention.
