Quote:How is voting for write-in candidates a vote for Hillary Clinton? They are clearly votes against her and Donald Trump. People like to believe WI votes are for Clinton because of Trump's accusations the election is "rigged" against him. That is not true, of course. If someone wants Clinton to win, voting for her is the right thing to do. She does not get a vote when D6 votes for Ted Cruz.

 

This is the most important thing when people choose who to vote for. I have heard people say, "It does not matter who you vote for. Just go vote." This means the most important thing is voting, not which person you support. Of course this does not mean simply voting for anybody is the right thing to do. The right way is your way.

 

In the case of D6, I happen to know that he is a Conservative.  He does not feel comfortable voting for the Republican nominee, so is voting his conscience.  That means a vote less for Trump.  As far as americus, I don't know her political leaning, but she did state that she doesn't want Hillary as President but refuses to vote for Trump, so again, her non-vote for Trump is essentially a vote for Hillary.

 

It's really not a vote "for" Hillary, it's pretty much a vote against NOT keeping Hillary out of the Oval Office.
