Illogical Logic

[Former Member]

Many people are rushing to buy lottery tickets this week even though the chances are less than 1 in 300,000,000.

 

Many of those same people don’t vote because they don’t think their vote matters. 1 in 200,000,000*

 

 

* Eligible voters in the US.

You're comparing apples to oranges and attempting to apply illogic to your comparison. Though you might think the thought processes are similar, I bet you would be wrong. Besides there is no real lasting harm in losing one out of every two-hundred thousand voters for the reason you state, and they may be correct for any given election. Whereas somebody always ends up winning the lottery, even if that means several somebodies on one ticket or two. Somebody always wins eventually!
