There are several functions to elections in a democracy, I'll just give a few. Firstly, elections provide a way to legitimize the leadership of a country, because the voters have chosen who they want to represent them. Secondly, the government who are in power know there is an election every few years and they stay accountable to their actions because they don't want to get voted out in the next election. And thirdly, it is quite impractical to have a direct democracy, which means that everyone votes on every issue at hand, and so elections provide voters with a choice to vote on a person or group of people to make those choices for them.
Many states have a process whereby voters can make direct decisions about laws or the state constitution by referendum. A referendum may be placed on the ballot during a by petition if enough voters request it by signing the petition.

Because with the exception of a very few presidential elections (Roosevelt versus Landon, Johnson versus Goldwater), most Presidential elections find Americans voting pretty close to 50/50. Extra votes that can be picked up by effective campaigning for swing voters and battleground (meaning virtually tied) states can make the difference.
