Good...I like that "high road" too.  That's why I'm voting for Ms Clinton.  We know how the E.C. system works. However, please remember Florida in 2000.  That should remind you that each individual vote does matter.  If just a few thousand more Gore voters had turned out, he would have been President and the entire course of US history would have been different.  I migh propose "better", you might disagree...no sense in engaging in that debate. 

However, as you say, our individual vote does reflect our values and integrity.  In my case, my highest concern is with the welfare of our country.  Hence, I'm voting for Clinton.

Oregon is a very "blue" state, so it's highly likely the EC votes will go to Clinton.  However, there are those "battleground" states where individual votes are very, very important.  

Regards and see you on that "high road"   Gary
