Three articles from Slate related to elections
- An economist's analysis of why your vote doesn't matter -- the math's interesting, but "success" in voting is about more than just changing the result one way or another, isn't it?
- William Saletan on the US Vice Presidential candidates debate -- I haven't seen either of the debates so far, but enjoy reading the commentary about them.
- Election Week in Afghanistan -- the results of tomorrow's election could make a difference to the animal shelter the Washington Post's Kabul bureau chief is working to set up.

I despise, in an irrational and quite distressing way, any article or paper that tells someone their vote doesn't count. That only contributes to the general malaise and disinterest in democracy that has led by country down the path to ruin.
Uh.
Uh.

christina, have you lost your mind? not only is his math not interesting, it is neither beautiful, nor useful, nor even amusing. and even I don't want to hear arguments for not voting right now.

Isn't this "Don't Vote" guy the one who keeps insisting that the answer to the "Monty Hall Problem" is 50/50?
For more entertainment, go to Doonesbury and use the URLs to Republican opinions on the election. Quite telling.
