Ed Krayewski on the Libertarian Case for Voting

Voting is important, writes Ed Krayewski, who’ll
be voting in his 39th consecutive election tomorrow. There are a
lot of shitty reasons to vote, and there’s reason to think
low-information voters can be dangerous. Being a low-information
voter is one of several great reasons not to vote. And
trying to intimidate people into voting, as some groups around the
country are doing, is ridiculous. True, individual votes matter
very little. They almost certainly never tip an election.
Nevertheless, writes Krayewski, voting is important, because in a
democratic system the absence of a vote enforces the illusion of
the consent of the governed.
