According to poll research, a great many people intend to vote tactically today. And that’s a good thing. After all, voting is indicating what you want. And it’s just as valid to want one or more parties to NOT be elected as it is to vote for the party you do want to see elected. But in a broken system, where the chances of your vote electing your preferred choice is non-existent, the only way to use a vote to get a result you actually want is to use it in the way that counts the most.
