      Reasoning: I'd like to see the overall turnout rate as low as possible, to de-legitimize the outcome and constrict the winner's "mandate"

          I don't object to your reasoning, but I'd also argue voting 3rd party creates future momentum for 3rd parties as opposed to apathy.

          BS Reason. Turnout should be high, with write-ins to show active dissent. You're confusing laziness with active protest.

          @acobasi this exactly is my reasoning. I am only voting because i want to add 1 vote to Stein.

          As @NathanTankus mentioned, this happened in 2014 and no one even whispered the word "legitimacy". No one thinks that way.

          I think you can accomplish the same thing and more by voting third-party and pointing to low vote total for the two major parties.
