There is literally 0 chance the area I live in will be blue. Does me going out and voting actually do anything besides add to the popular vote tally?

    just under 50% of people voted in Ohio in the 2020 election.

    Trump won by 8%.

    If just 9% of the people who felt like you (what’s the point of voting) had showed up to vote for Biden, that would have flipped the state.

    No single raindrop believes it can make any difference. But together, all those insignificant raindrops can change the course of a river in a single day.
