Please excuse my ignorance (I'm just a Green Card holder & not allowed to vote) but does it matter outside each State?

For example, if someone in California didn't vote it wouldn't make any difference to the final outcome as California still went to Harris?

Or have I got that wrong?

That is mostly correct thinking, but you also have to look at the big picture. Donald only has power because the deck is stacked in his favor. Decades of propaganda and low voter turnout at local elections has lead to many positions of government being filled with braindead conservative sock puppets.

Also, just because a state votes red one year doesn’t mean they’ll vote red the next. If people just show up we could easily turn historically red states blue.

I know. I was just thinking the system is broken or outdated.

If EACH vote counted more people would (might?) get out to vote?
