What seats are changing party: In November there are 50 tight races for house seats alone. The house and senate play a huge role in legislation so this election will have massive impact. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/house/?cid=rrpromo https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/... Even if you live in WA/CA your vote still matters. At the federal level there are 4 elected positions, 14 at the state level, and more at a local level. There are also primaries, so even if your Governor is guaranteed to be a Democrat you can at least pick which one. The people that do vote have an outsized impact because, like you, most Americans are too lazy to vote.

I clearly said in my comment that I've never missed an election. I do also vote in primaries, those have typically gone opposite to how I voted, or else were a foregone landslide for my pick. I also never implied I live in WA. Apparently you got confused because I spelled out the name of the capital city of this country.

  Ah, apologies for misreading your comment. I see your point that district style voting can feel pointless unless you you're in a swing district. I still think there are smaller positions you can influence over but I agree with you on that.
