    Far less than hundreds of thousands of towns and municipalities where local elections have pitiful turn outs most of the time and things are regularly decided by just a handful of votes of difference. 5 people could mean the difference between a far right fascist city council or school board and something sensible.

    Even in my fairly decently sized city, our school board was just 300 votes away from going full tilt book banning and transphobic.

    Just vote. It’s one day a YEAR, stop worrying about how many people are on your side and just do it. If nothing changes, then nothing changes but at least there exists the possibility of good change
