POWER UP your vote!
In New York, you can vote Obama on the Working Families line (Row E). Barack Obama will appear on your ballot twice in New York—first under the Democratic Party, and then again on Row E, the ballot line of New York's growing progressive third party. Voting for Barack Obama on the Working Families Party line counts exactly the same for the presidential race—and it also strengthens one of the most important efforts in the country to push Democrats to be more bold and progressive.

And to that end...

OH MAN! I wish I had read this BEFORE I went to the polls this morning.
So if you didn't vote a straight party ticket, the votes still count towards the Electoral College?

I SURE hope they do! I guess in NY it doesn't matter as much.

I thought it had something to do with how much funding the parties get in the next election cycle, but if Working Families/Conservative Party etc. gets less than whatever percentage of the vote that's needed to tap a member of the electoral college, then those votes are not represented.
