Your vote really does count:

Rep. Lavar Christensen wins by three votes

LaVar Christensen, author of Utah’s now overturned ban on same-sex marriage and one of Capitol Hill’s most conservative voices, has won re-election by a margin of three votes out of 17,071 cast.

[…]

It’s the Utah legislature which is, of course, dominated by Republicans. But kicking this guy out would have been symbolic win.

3 votes. Surely there were 4 people in his district who didn’t like him but who simply blew off voting that day because it was inconvenient for them.
