So, today I voted in my first presidential election. People are saying this is a huge one, that it's hyped up, etc. Whatever. Frankly... I'm just wondering... did my vote REALLY count? Yeah, I've been bombarded for weeks about VOTE! YES, IT COUNTS! Etc. But... if you don't live in a swing state, does it REALLY count? Maybe for the small local elections it did. And maybe even for that proposition that was up for consideration. But for the presidency? NY is Democratic, no questions asked. If I voted for anyone else... would it really matter?
Logically... no.
