Yeah, the biggest thing the whole "Your vote counts" thing aims to fight is widespread voter apathy.



I don't think it's effective. Anybody with any understanding of statistics can easily see that your vote doesn't affect the outcome. I think it might be more effective to frame voting as some sort of moral obligation -- "people died so you could vote" "you live in a democracy" sort of rhetoric.
