    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)

    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

        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)
