Yeah, but only if they actually get counted. The problem in 2000 is that they didn’t. The count was close and the Supreme Court decided to end counting early. We really need this election to be not down to such small numbers or our current Supreme Court will fuck us.
My point is less that it should come down to that, and more that any smaller gain can matter if things do
If you want to do something that it well known to increase turnout more significantly, I highly recommend volunteering for the campaign. Canavassing, for instance, can increase turnout by upwards of ~7-10% (or more or slightly less depending on the data you look at)
Fair enough, but worth mentioning that canvassing is not the only effective way to volunteer. There’s also text banking, phone banking, and post card writing for instance (can find those places on the earlier linked site)

Here’s one site with both in person and virtual places listed
If nothing else, it can help turn the anxiety down a bit by taking action
I am disabled and can’t really canvas, but I donate.
