Meanwhile, in case one thinks one's vote is irrelevant, here in Fernley, with about 20,000 residents, only about 10% voted in the mayor's race, and only about 400 voted in my city council ward. That makes my vote for council a whopping 0.2% of the entire electorate in my ward. That might not sound like much, but it's a larger percentage than my percentage of the last Worldcon site selection.
