How does voting work, and why does every vote matter?
Imagine a whole town trying to decide one thing together — pizza or tacos, a new park or a new pool. You can't all shout at once, so humans invented a wonderfully tidy trick for it. It's called voting, and it turns a roomful of opinions into one clear answer.
At its heart, voting is counting. Everyone gets one say — one vote — and the choice with the most votes wins. That's it. The genius isn't the counting; it's that everybody agreed beforehand to go along with whatever the count says.
