219. But you leave out all
votes who were told "it dosn't count, don't waste your time vote" and who listened. If you had popularly forced a re-vote or equivalent, I would have a lot more sympathy. But instead you line up to blame the rest of the country for the problems caused by YOUR state's chosen officials. Who ARE doing what they are doing for the benefit of a particular candidate not that of the voters.

Setting that aside, you don't think that my state could have "counted more" if we had moved up our election and had it, say, the day before New Hampshire? Or even the day after SC? That is what your state did. And given that you outnumber us here, your proportional impact by doing so was even greater than ours would have been. And it was done in such a way as to handycap some candidates, benefit others, and disenfranchise many Florida Voters.
