If you have two elections, one with a 40% turnout and one with an 80% turnout, in the one where 40% of people voted, each voter was as important as two voters in the 80% one.

I don’t understand what you mean. An individual voter doesn’t choose who makes decisions and passes laws.
Are you okay?
He is not ok.
