Also, seriously, your votes are statistically irrelevant based on how numbers work.

You're conflating statistical significancy with relevancy. Those are two different things.

It sounds like you're trying to say, your vote doesn't matter, because lots of other people are voting.

If that is what you mean, again, it sounds like you're conflating two concepts: the idea that something that "matters" with the idea that something is counted.

Based on other stuff you've written on this forum, I'm guessing you would say stuff doesn't matter, but that's a personal value judgement, not a statistical or numerical conclusion.

Will one vote change an election? Probably not. But that's why the system is set up the way that it is. It is impossible for both everyone's vote to count and for everyone's single vote to determine an election.
