If me and my spouse vote for opposite candidates would it be the same if we just didn’t vote?
In: Other
In a country where only two citizens existed excluding the politician, two opposing votes would cancel out. Same as not voting. However, we live in countries with hundreds of millions of people, more of which may prefer one choice in an election over another. So, let’s say there are ten of you.
Six of the ten prefer RED. Two of the ten prefer BLUE. If your spouse votes RED and you vote BLUE, then your vote is 1/3 of the BLUE’s support while your spouse’s vote is only 1/7 of RED’s support.
Since blue has less support, your vote MEANS MORE.
