In response to "What's funny is that that number of 3700 is almost certainly rounded off. It could be 3712, or 3689. There's a bunch of votes right there that don't" by mara

That's a fallacy of retrospect that they don't make a difference though.

if 3700 people all said "my one vote didn't make a difference" they'd be wrong.

Responses:

There is nothing that would have caused 3700 Dems not to vote that would not also have caused a comparable number of Republicans not to vote. - mara Nov 5, 12:17 2
- No there isn't, but that's all it'd take. That's why every 1 vote does count. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:19
- on the other hand, members of the minority party in a heavy state for the majority party are more apt to feel that their vote doesn't count -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 12:18
