It is a more recent example than any of the others, so even if it's just one case, it's worth highlighting as a counter to OP's posting spree suggesting that voting isn't effective.
I already said that voting isn't mutually exclusive from violence or anything else. The process of it takes a couple hours out of one or two days, the primary and election day to go stand in line, or to order and mail your ballots. Technically speaking, even if in the USA's case the state can jail and disenfranchise you, chances are getting a conviction will take a while.
