My vote counts as exactly one. And that matters in the outcome of the election on the sole basis that the votes come down to one ballot and it happens to be mine. So the odds are drastically against any single vote ever "counting" in the sense that it actually determines who wins an election. However, I sit back and relax. Does anything I do count? Depends on the perspective. I like doing stuff, so I take the perspective that everything counts in its own way. So voting is like expressing yourself and exerting a democratic right. It's a good excuse to miss a little work. It's something that challenges your thinking skills.
If you feel like it, do it. Who cares if it decides an election?
edit: I just realize that the Australians are the ones who have been chipping in.. Does it even matter to you if your vote counts since you get mega-fined if you don't vote?

glug glug glug egg makes wine. You can make wine too.
i just hate there isn't an edit feature... where i could thereby take votes away... to force the outcome... and make it more true to life...

sorry if this upsets the american value system... if a poor fucker can steal an old ladies pocket book... how much lower is the view of those that wanna steal more then just that?
sorry if i don't agree... but i'm not gonna mock anyone... face value is a rather cheap judgemental state...
i didn't realize you were that defensive... my bad...
