In the swing states this makes sense, but what voters in safe states forget is the fuckery that is the Electoral College and how it (dys)functions.
For example, I vote in Utah, which will be carried by the Republican candidate come Hell or high water, so I can either A) contribute one more vote toward the Republican's landslide victory, B) lessen the Democrat's landslide defeat by one vote, or C) vote third-party and help one party maintain ballot access.
