    Let’s be honest, here. These votes are for the large shareholders. Not to sound like a nihilist here, but these elections are for them, not us tiny investors.

    I’m not telling you not to vote, but think about how much money your time is worth. Do you really want to dig into this, or go do something you enjoy?

      With overvoting adjustments on broker-held shares as opposed to shares directly registered with the company’s transfer agent, your votes may not even be counted.

      That’s how I feel about political elections. In my area, the majority party will win every seat by at least 10%, if not 20%+.

      That said, I do bother to vote in political elections, but I don’t bother for stocks and whatnot. The former has much more significant consequences than the latter, though I don’t hold enough sway for my voice to matter for either.
