No vote goes unused. Your non-vote will effectively go to the candidate you really didn’t want. In this particular case, the unnamed boy’s non-vote went to the candidates favored by Gramps. It’s what voter suppression is all about.
Gee, you’d think Gramps would WANT a Blonde-haired, Blue-eyed Straight White Man to vote… After all, aren’t THEY really God’s “Chosen People”, better then all of "Those " other people?
Gramps is gonna be sorry when he sees what the GOP does to his Medicare & Social Security…but that’s OK by him because “Those People” will suffer too. Anyone of retirement age who votes GOP & isn’t fabulously wealthy is cutting off their own nose to spite someone else’s face.
It’s true: depressing to relate, much of the early activity of the democratically-elected House of Burgesses in Colonial Williamsburg was concerned with how to fix it so that only the Right People could do the voting.

And carefully observe the results of your choices. Without prejudice, if possible.

I did not “Like” this comic. Even though I did. Just to exercise my damn rights.
