Your vote "counts" more in a mayoral election because cities have fewer residents than the states in which they reside, and turnout for such elections is low compared to gubernatorial and presidential elections; because of the way the Electoral College works, however, if your state is expected to be close in support for one presidential candidate or the other, while your governor or mayor is popular enough to easily be re-elected, your vote may count more in a marginal sense.
