    Ah, well, my biggest mistake was forgetting to vote while I was living in California. I figured it wouldn't matter, since it would take a miracle for California to not vote for Obama. But stupid Prop 8 passed, which surprised me.

    The biggest electoral (and erectoral) mistake you can make is not to play. Voting is important.

    Statistically, no, it isn't. And never will be, no matter where you live.

    Voting is important because it's an exercise of your rights as a citizen. You vote to prove that you can vote.

    You may be confusing voting with drinking the worm.

    Your chance of deciding the election is incredibly low, but if you do decide the election the payoff is enormous. I don't recall if it was Nate Silver or someone else that calculated it, but it basically came down to "what's deciding the political future of 350 million people worth?"
