Errr...yes, they do matter.

People use their votes to express their opinions on relevant issues.

Which is why the Democrats have lost every one of their bids for control of the House ever since the 1992 election, even though you may have been of the opinion that they ought to have won those elections.
No, it would mean that my opinion was in the minority. However, I was not eligible to vote in those elections, so it doesn't really matter. Who knows who I would've voted for, I don't vote along party lines like some people.
