Don’t think you can make a difference? This Democrat won by a SINGLE vote.

Democracy! Sometimes it feels so pointless. But before you decide to skip next election, consider this: a race in the Virginia House of Delegates was decided by a single vote. 

On Tuesday, the results of a recount by Virginia election officials was announced, and it turns out Democrat Shelly Simonds beat incumbent Republican David Yancey. The vote count? 11,608 to 11,607.

Yep. One single vote. 

The dude who sat at home watching Netflix instead of voting probably feels pretty bad right about now.
