Statistically, one person's vote is meaningless. That doesn't provide an excuse not to vote.

I disagree.
When large segments of the population doesn't vote, it sends a message. I don't see any of the three major parties actually changing the country in a significant way for the better.
I actually argue seeing a large segment of untapped voters has historically motivated parties to make changes and appeal to those voters.
