I also live in MA, and at the national level my vote is somewhat of a
wash. For the election this September 16th, though (for state rep/
senator) it will have a pretty large impact. Different candidates have
varying stands on 40B, casinos, school aid and Chapter 70, reducing
Prop 2.5, etc.
And at the local level -- as seemingly most overrrides fail or pass on
relatively narrow margins -- the impact of one vote is huge.
So yep, I agree that for a national election, our votes are typically
subsumed. But for the other two 'layers' of government, our votes are
pretty darn critical.
