Election Ratings

This is not a good argument why I didn't vote, but I think it's a decent point. This is a Google map showing the US election ratings. The darker the blue, the more likely Democrats will be elected. Similarly, the darker the red the more likely Republicans will be elected. Yellow means it's a tossup, and I'm guessing white either doesn't matter or they don't have any data.

Look at Louisiana. It looks pretty red to me. So I highly doubt my vote, despite who I would have actually voted for, would have made a big difference for Louisiana. Now maybe if I lived in Washington, Nevada, or any of the other yellow states I would have felt pretty bad for not voting because I could have made a difference in the outcome. I'm sure a lot of you want to strangle me for thinking this, but that's my stance on the topic.
