"the decision of an individual to spend the time it takes to cast one vote is much different than the decision of spending time trying to get hundreds or thousands of people to vote."

I guess this is the part I don't understand. Each individual voter decides on whether or not to take the time to cast his or her vote. One cannot get hundreds or thousands or people to vote other than one at a time.

It is a waste of time for each of them. They are losing so that I can benefit.

EDIT: Although they may not be losing, because presumably they get some joy or satisfaction out of voting that Boro does not get. Their vote may strictly be a 'waste of time' but as long as they get value from it, its win-win.
