It's worth a reminder that only a Presidential candidate can lose the popular vote and still win the election, thanks to the Electoral College. No other election has the Electoral College. Virtually every other election in this country - from school board to Governor - is decided by popular vote.

Yes, I agree. But I'm just pointing it out because some people probably do think their vote doesn't matter, and in a Presidential Election, it's kinda understandable why they feel that way. But in the case of Elise Stefanik running for Governor, absolutely every vote against her matters.
