Last time I voted, this was my strategy. Not that I thought the challenger was any “better” than the incumbent, but it’s about as close to a vote of no confidence in the system as I could make.

Where there are multiple positions open, I try to pick from each party to create gridlock. I vote not to retain judges. The main thing I care about are the ballot initiatives.

In the races where I found no information about the candidates, I chose not to vote one way or the other. I think it’s better not to vote than cast an uninformed vote based only on party affiliation.

Make sure to study the rules of the ballot. It’s my understanding that skipping races can spoil your ballot in some districts.

Also, I’d probably cast a protest vote rather than skipping the race. On the off chance that someone, somewhere cares, I want to be on file as being pissed-off.

I will however be handing out pamphlets on Voluntaryism to random people I see on the street for a few hours, probably doing more than a vote ever will.

I am also going to betting some money (50 bucks) that McCain will steal the election, so I suppose if I win, I could start spending that money on canned goods in case the dollar ever get’s de-monetized in the next year or two.

Although, I might get nostalgic for the ballot & decide to write-in “David Bowie”, for old time’s sake.
