He's Canadian, dogpet. Don't listen to him.

Our votes do count, especially in local elections. The bastards running for office wouldn't spend so much money trying to manipulate people for their votes if our votes were actually worthless.

"My vote doesn't count" is most often the grumbling of some poor sod who tends not to be aware that there are other voters in their midsts. And if a majority of them vote against your candidate or the specific proposition you support, well, you ain't gonna get your way this go 'round.
