Percentage wise, how much does one vote count for?

[MetalMat]

As far as the popular vote is concerned, how much is one vote worth (couting the whole pop. of the US)?

.000000000000000000000000%

Every vote counts, but percentage wise, it depends on the total votes cast.

Depends on how many people vote. I'm sure you can take 1 and divide it by the number of voters.

 

[FoBoT]

the highest estimates for the number of people voting today is ~121 million


so you are 1/121,000,000 worth

 

[n0cmonkey]

Nothing, unless you're a member of congress.

Only way I think that will happen is if it happpens again this year.

The correct answer is it depends on what state your in

For example a state only has 3 electoral votes, 200,000 people in that state vote.
Versus a state with 30 electoral votes and 10 million people vote. each vote is worth less in the overall scheme of things.

That would make it 1/120,999,999 then.

If Kerry wins, it's not unlikely that he'll lose the popular vote.
