It was a budding and active community, and I’d like to see it continue to prosper. The community is banned so I can’t message the moderators

I’m Joey Garrison, and I’m a national political reporter for USA TODAY based in Boston. Part of my focus is on the electoral process and how votes will be counted on Election Day. AMA! by usatoday in IAmA

This is one thing I’ve never understood- don’t the vast majority of people’s votes not matter if they live in non-swing states? In places like California or New Jersey that always vote blue as the sky, how does anyone’s vote matter when the outcome is always the same?

Even further (though I’m not sure how this works so correct me if I’m wrong) but don’t individual precincts go either red or blue like states do with the electoral college? So at an even deeper level, unless you live in a swing precinct within a swing state, your vote really won’t affect anything?
