I'm annoyed

In the words of Kang and Kodos (on voting for third party candidates) "go ahead, waste your vote"?

Another myth. In my state, if any party gets just 5% of the popular vote for a major office the party gets matching funds from the state up to 50% of the (optional) spending limits. That is extra campaign money from taxpayers that the Democrats and the Republicans get all the time (if they agree to abide by the spending limits). At the magical 15% or so mark, candidates can petition the media to give them equal access to televised debates.

By that definition of a wasted vote, any vote not for the winner is a wasted vote. My definition of a wasted vote is one made by an uninformed voter, or the one not made by the voter who never bothered to go to the polls.
