I had a similar conversation with one of my frat brothers back in 04.
He was too young to vote back in 2000 and didn't bother in 2004 because 'he knew that Bush would find a way to cheat'
Althouhg I could understand his frustration I still had to remind him that there is nothing he could be mad about if he at least still didn't exercise his right to vote.
He is definently voting this year.(mostly because everytime he tried to get into a political debate we would remind him of that facr and shut him down...heh!)

Now I see where you're going. I thought you were talking about people who had voted and were pissed because they thought their vote didn't count.
This younger woman on Baisden said that she was tempted not to vote ever again because she felt her vote didn't count in the last election because Bush was re-elected. I said outloud "what an idiot...." because votes always count unless there is some error/conspiracy at the polls. Just because a certain candidate wasn't elected doesn't mean the votes weren't counted and didn't count.
