I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

If this isn't a summary regarding exactly what is wrong with this system, nothing is. The confluence of the electoral college and the two-party system...

Just because we know beforehand that NY and Cali will go blue and Texas and North Dakota will go red does not mean that they don't count. It means that the ones running for elections, i.e. the parties, have set their goals, morals, and objectives to receive the vast majority of those states. It's just the swing states that are not fully convinced and therefore may turn the country one way or another. But every state counts.

https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/2270833/gop-senator-refuses-to-vote-for-trump-demands-someone-principled-conservatives-can-believe-in.html

Senator Todd Young of Indiana has doubled down on his stance that he will not be voting for President Donald Trump in the upcoming election, despite Trump’s securing of enough delegates to become the Republican nominee. In an interview with a local Indiana reporter on Monday, Young stated, “I won’t be voting for Biden. I also won’t be voting for Trump.”

Young, a conservative member of the GOP, has been critical of Trump’s debunked election fraud claims and anti-Ukraine posturing throughout the Russian invasion. He has also publicly denounced Trump’s actions and stated that he will not support him in 2024 due to his position on Ukraine.

Young emphasized that his refusal to support either candidate is a matter of principle, stating, “At some point, principled conservatives need to incentivize our party, the Republican Party, to nominate somebody that principled conservatives can actually believe in.” He added, “I’m tired of having my vote taken for granted. I think a lot of Hoosiers are.”

Young’s stance marks a significant departure from the majority of his Republican colleagues, who have pledged to support Trump’s re-election bid. His refusal to support either candidate could potentially “reward one person at the expense of the other,” as he noted.

Insane the courts accept name changes like this. It’s a free country, but at the same time I really hope this doesn’t become a trend.
