A couple of questions to think about:

1) Do you agree that it is more important to vote in small elections than large elections, since voting in a small election is more likely to influence the outcome?

2) If so, does there ever come a point where the election is so large, that the probability of influencing the election becomes so miniscule that it is not worthwhile for an individual to cast his vote?

  1. Yes, but also because local electives should have more power.

  2. No, because while it may be miniscule, if a bunch of people stop voting because of that mentality it's no longer miniscule.
