‘‘My vote doesn’t count.’’

In Zimbabwe, definitely true! Shout out to the many Zimbabwe readers who keep up to date with this column.

In New Zealand, your vote counts a lot. This election could be very close, and for small parties like Maori or Act your vote could be life or death. If you vote for the Internet Party, it could be the only vote they get!

Think about it this way, it was a few thousand votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvan­ia and Florida that won ‘‘he who must not be named’’ the United States presidency. It’s my personal opinion that people from Florida shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
