While I still don't vote on principle, I have registered to vote so that I can sit on a "jury" (um, struck jury... but good enough) and save a someone who has not harmed anyone from sitting in a cell.
That being said, people who actually do vote should be calling for range voting at all levels...
As long as people believe that "government" has rights that no people have themselves (the right to steal, murder, extort, and more on a mass basis) then we will simply end up with more stupidity no matter how good the elected official might seem.
The best potential choice put forth by the two sides of the authoritarian party in recent history was Ron Paul... and I'd be willing to bet that the end result would be either more government OR his untimely death.
