“Does my vote really matter?” It’s a question posed by both voters and non-voters. It is easy to look at elections and the huge numbers of votes and think, “if I don’t show up, it doesn’t matter because it won’t affect the outcome.”
Other similar refrains:
“All politicians are the same — it doesn’t matter who wins, so why should I bother to vote?”
“She is going to lose, the polls have her down huge — why should I stand in line to go vote?”
“My state is so partisan — no way my vote will matter.”
These are all reasonable points, and worthy of a deeper look.
