This election is the ultimate proof of that timeless counterargument to "my vote doesn't matter". Clearly even in an 80 million population state, federal races are coming down to hundreds or dozens of votes...and it is entirely within the realm of possibility, admittedly unlikely, that these seats may be decided by 1 or 2 votes...your vote always matters.

Yup, Maine also I believe had incredibly close races for state rep (it would be interesting to see some type of case study on the country's closest races by not only raw vote margins but also percentage of margins as well)
When the dust settles, I hope The Downballot will compile a list of issues and downballot races that were decided by just a few votes / tiny fractions of a percentage. Both those we won and those we lost.

California doesn’t break 40m in population.
ty for the correction.
Some races this cycle for state rep have been decided by 1 vote(with thousands cast in raw vote total)
Didn’t Minnesota just do two recounts with the margin in single digit?

Alaska too I'm thinking
Hear, hear!
