But my state’s electoral votes are not up for grabs.

For someone in Texas (guaranteed R) or California (guaranteed D) it is fairly cheap to say "I am voting third party". It is a different matter in Florida, Ohio or Virginia where the election will be decided.

You are correct.
I'm in Texas and got to have zero say in the GOP nomination.
I voted McCain in 2008 and never felt good about it.
Romney is way over the line of what I consider tolerable. I just can't in good conscience do it.
Plus the GOP will do much better in the next two cycles if bozo wins and we continue to have elections.
The GOP will self destruct if Romney wins and a GOP congress gives him what he wants.
The only positive I can think of (which is anything from certain) is the SCOTUS. Romney can't be counted on to put a conservative in.
But bozo will for sure put on another Karen type or worse.
All that to say I won't criticize family, friends, or fellow FReepers for making the choice to hold their noses and pull the lever against zero. Particularly in states like Virginia, Florida, Ohio, PA, etc.
