"And how will it matter if the voting-machines and the
election are rigged? Or if the nominee is named Joe Lieberman?
If voting made a difference, it would be illegal.
How's that for pessimism?

It may be pessimist but it is also nonsense.
As many many elections have made all the difference
(e.g. in the US Roosevelt over Hoover, Reagan over Carter,
Johnson over Goldwater, indeed Bush over Gore), the
hypothetical is in willful disregard of common sense and
historical knowledge.
Jim, I think you just like to type crazy-like at your
keyboard.
