(23,177 posts)People need to realize that they have the most influence in primary elections < 20% of eligible voters cast ballots, mid-term elections < 25% of EVCB, and the least amount of influence in general/presidential elections ~54% of EVCB.
So if you vote in each, your influence is as follows as described by voting in place of eligible voter's who don't vote.
Primary: 5:1
Mid-term: 4:1
General: ~2:1
Meaning, you have the influence of 5 voters in primaries, the influence of 4 voters in mid-terms, and about two voters in general elections. Talk about determining what kind of government we have!
I liked that about voting today actually. Stacking the odds in favor of the candidates I chose. Hope y'all like who I voted for, because if you didn't, too fucking bad!!
