Numbers are sufficient, I don't require a list of every written in item, just how many occurred.
Zero and statistically insignificant are still nothing.

"Statistically insignificant," while small, is still infinitely greater than "zero."
The whole idea of voting, as I'm sure you know, is so the people can let their wishes be known. It's a form of communication. If you don't communicate in any way, the government will not take you into consideration. With voting, they will consider you. Probably not much, but they will consider you.
I understand from you that your lack of voting is supposed to be some form of communication. Maybe I misunderstand. If I do, I would like you to correct me.
A slacker doesn't vote because he is lazy. I'm not saying you are a slacker. You are actively not voting. Like you are putting effort into it, and are proud of that. You make a point of saying you are proud. You must have thought about it. Do you hope something positive will come of your not voting other than saving an hour or so standing in line?
