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?

    Yes! Downballot offices usually have a greater effect on your life than higher ones, in fact.

    And I guarantee you that if every voter who thought their vote didn’t count went out and voted, they damn well would count. The turnout last election was 46% of elligible voters. 46%! Half of us who could vote, didn’t! 53% is enough to swing any state.
