...Okay I'm not sure you realize how silly you sound, how are the votes counted? The number of votes made. Your vote becomes part of the statistic which creates # vs #. Obviously it counts when it's only off by 8 people, out of how many who voted?

It makes you feel better that someone's vote was closer to mattering than usual. I get that. It still doesn't prove your vote counts.
Really, I just find it off putting when people make political threads, spew a bunch of opinions predictions and platitudes, then entreat everyone else to stick to the facts.
I'm pretty sure it's fact your vote is counted, unless they count pennies in substitute. Your opinion contradicts the reality, otherwise why should anyone vote if your vote doesn't matter? If it didn't matter it wouldn't be tallied, which it is, so it's you who has the proof problem.
