Seems to me that there are only two ways that your vote counts for anything. 1) When it influences those who decide who becomes a delegate to the Electoral College. 2) When it influences delegates to the electoral College to vote this way or that. --- Your real vote that counts, is when you take any law or governmental process to court in jury trial, to get it repealed or changed with regard to yourself. The second vote that counts is when you influence many people to do the same, so that laws and governmental processes are changed in and by government people, in government itself.
