Some interesting stats about the importance of voting in the election in the piece.
"In 2022, 65 seats for statewide legislatures were decided by less than half a percentage point; more than a dozen races were decided by 10 votes or fewer; two were decided by a single vote.
Back in 2017, a contest in Virginia was tied after a recount and court hearing. State law said the winner would be determined at random. In that case, the name was plucked from a blue glass bowl: a selection that determined control of an entire body of government for a state with 8 million people."
