    Protest votes are supposed to hurt. The point is to motivate candidates to do better through the threat of loss of power.

    I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)

    People will get upset about this, while it's totally normal that a vote in Wyoming is worth 3X a vote in California, New York, Texas, etc.
