If you live in a Biscuit n' Gravy State,then your state's votes will go to the Biscuit n' Gravy Candidate each and every time(your vote is unimportant,and a waste of time.)

I didn't want to talk politics but since others brought it up....
It DOES matter if you vote and here is why: Demographic Tracking. Both parties do it to a large degree and use it to shape their message and their legislative agenda. Old people (especially old white women) vote in much larger numbers than other demographic groups, and since both parties keep track of this info, partisan policy is geared disproportionally towards issues that matter to that demographic. If people in other demographic groups don't vote because they think it does not matter, their actions become self-fulfilling prophecies: what they think will NOT matter because both parties will feel secure in ignoring the concerns of that demographic.
Now that being said......I still like Minister's Bid over Forest Phantom and/or Flashy Bull.
