I don't follow this line of thinking; but the fact is that many people do. For example in Alberta it is a foregone conclusion that one party is going to win the seat. If you were the supporter of another party with no chance of winning it lessens the likelihood of actually turning out to vote. This is specifically true if the weather is bad, or you simply have a lot to do that day and run out of time.
For the record, I vote every time, in every election. Does your vote really mean anything if you vote for the losing candidate though?
