As an economist, I can't offer you much of a rationale to vote in terms of your marginal impact; but as a citizen, the utility I get from voting comes from the responsibility I feel about participating in our democracy. A true democracy represents the interests of all citizens, not just the mobilized fringes. So, though Oregon has a mail-in ballot system, it is not too late to vote: you can drop-off your ballot by 8pm Tuesday night. Here is a list of drop-off locations throughout Oregon.
