Who you vote for is confidential and the votes are hidden until election day.

I really don't know. Though I have no real say in this election anyway being in a completely different country.
I'm just looking forward to this whole debacle ending. It seems to have gone on for years. Well the pre-election process anyway.

Uhh: the 51 st state of America State 51 is DC or Puerto Rico, and state 52 is whichever of the two wasn't state 51. After that there are some other places like Guam, the Virgin Islands, etc. that ought to become states before we make up our own state. Let's say that we're voting as the 60th state. |

dc and puerto rico are not states territories and districts are not states stupid I'm not saying that they presently are states, but I'm saying that if there ever is a 51st state it will be either DC or Peurto RIco and state 52 is going to be whichever one isn't state 51. |

They're currently not states, so if Uhh was added right now, it would be 51.

I would vote Johnson if I was a year older not because I want him to win but because of this statistic: Voting for someone other than Hillary or Trump wouldn't throw away your vote in the case of promoting a third party for 2020. "Since no third-party candidate received 5% of the vote in the 2008 presidential election, only the Republican and Democratic parties were eligible for 2012 convention grants, and only their nominees were eligible to receive grants for the general election once they were nominated. Third-party candidates could qualify for public funds retroactively if they received 5% or more of the vote in the general election." www.fec.gov/press/bkgnd/fund.shtmlwhile this excerpt isn't about this current election, it's just as applicable. if that 5% is reached it will give a great boost towards a third party in the 2020 election due to the amount of dissatisfaction with this election, both with the system and the candidates. www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/01/us/elections/nine-percent-of-america-selected-trump-and-clinton.html?_r=0 |

I say that we make our own political party though, the 200-state party. What we want to do is turn territories into states, turn DC into a state and then split up the states that we have until there are 200 of them. And then we get federal money to go about our plan. |

that's not how the united states works tim. Then what do you think the 51st state will be? The rest of the world will be the 51st state, because no matter which candidate we choose, there's going to be hell toupeé and emails to read. |

These results are not what I would have expected from a bunch of neoliberal teenagers.

There is no 51st state that's what matters Tim
And in America you can't really just start a new party and gain power, in fact you need 5% of the votes in the presidential election to get funding and be fully recognized as a party.
If you could get 5% within a few years you would need to be charismatic as hell in this current America

If you start a third party and run only in local elections you'd be much more likely to win and you'd definitely be a real party. |
