Those who think their vote doesn't count don't have to look very far to see how wrong they are. A vote on allowing the sale of liquor by the drink failed by only 10 votes a couple of years ago in one Georgia town. Another election on renewing the special purpose local option sales tax failed by less than 70 votes in a neighboring county two years ago. These two issues could have turned out very differently if more people had shown up at the polls. Elections in this county in past years have been decided by as few as 30 votes.
Every vote does count.
