What seems to me idiotic, although very common, is the routine claim
that "every vote matters" and its many variants. Every million votes
matter, but a single vote matters so little that if your concern is with
the consequences, in a national election it isn't worth the trouble of
voting.

I have one thing to say: Florida, and several other states, 2000.

In none of which was the outcome decided by one vote, even though it
was an extraordinarily close election.
