Don’t worry, even if your vote was counted, your district is probably so gerrymandered that your vote wouldn’t matter anyway.
I also voted for statewide offices – no way to gerrymander that yet (which is why the push for ID, to disenfranchise people).
I was no fan of Crist, but, you know, the alternative was Bat Boy. People just want to be inspired, marginal differences aren’t enough for them even though politics is all about the marginal victories. Like the friends I had who couldn’t get excited about Kerry in 04. Okay, you don’t like him, but he’s Not Bush! Suck it up or stop complaining.
