Were you polled? Were you asked who you were planning to vote for? The only poll that really counts is ballots in the box. No one different will ever have a chance if people discount them before they even cast a vote.
Also, whomever gets the most votes, wins the seat. It could be by 5000 votes, it could be by 5. In many areas, where there are 4 candidates running, the numbers may be closer than you think. By not voting you give the people that do more power in their vote.
Our system does suck. There is no doubt about it, but it is what we have at the moment and it only works if everyone participates.
Take a chance, mark your ballot and see what happens. The most it will cost you is a few minutes of your time.
