Default Will a bad ignition switch make my starter go bad?

The title says it all!

Im curious if battleing a bad ignition switch (intermittently works) will make my starter go bad?

It used to fire right up, now it cranks a few times before it finally starts....

No a bad ignition switch will just cause it to not start.

What do you mean it cranks a few times, do you mean you have to turn the key more than once, or that you just have to hold the key for a second or two longer?
