Reflections On Voting -- Why Did I Even Bother Going?

This is the last election-related post, I promise.

I went to vote this morning. It was an experience in utter futility.

There were five contests on the ballot -- President/VP, Congressman, State Assembly, State Senate and local judges.

Congressman -- the only real choice was Anthony Weiner. The Republicans didn't put up a candidate.

State Senate -- the only choice was the Republican. The Democrats didn't put anyone up.

State Assembly -- the only choice was the Democrat. The Republicans didn't put anyone up.

Local Judges -- the same eight people ran on both lines.

President/VP -- there I had a choice. But then again, I live in New York, so it really doesn't matter anyway.

So, why the heck did I even bother going?
