Your vote doesn't matter in Presidential Elections the chances of a state changing its color is slim to none unless your Ohio, Florida or another possible swing state.

Your local politics is where things happen. In my city I ran for School Board (lost by 400 votes but will run again). The turn out was 11%! Everyone HATES our Public School System here in my city due to a number of factors but no one votes. So if you want to get open data for your town city you can do that. (That is what I was running for was open data and government in my school district and now the whole thing is getting audited by the state to see if they comply with the Sunshine Law (They don't)).

Oh interesting, I see your perspective. Is being on the school board something you do on the side, or is it a (paid?) part time job?
