          Let’s say Alice has a lead of one vote over Bob.

          • If one Alice voter decided to vote for Bob instead - Bob will have a lead of one vote.
          • If two Alice voters decide to abstain from voting - Bob will also have a lead of one vote.

          Two non-voters are equivalent to one voter switching sides. Therefore - one non-vote is equivalent to half a vote for the opponent.

                  it isn’t counted at all

                  Puns are not valid arguments. If broke into a ballot box (for the same of the argument, let’s ignore all the security measures) and took out all the votes for the candidate I didn’t like, these votes will literally won’t be counted. Does that mean my action doesn’t count?
