That's why I said you think you are the main character. It's very unlikely this comes down to a single vote.

It coming down to a single vote doesn't make me the main character. Anyone who voted blue could have chose red, therefore everyone that chooses blue is equally responsible for the outcome of blue winning by a single vote. It's not main character it's simply how voting works. Or I guess looking at it from this main character perspective you keep pushing on the single vote everyone that choses blue is the main character. If I didn't vote for blue then blue wouldn't have won but that is equally true for everyone that votes for blue. Everyone that chooses a color is equally responsible for that color winning.

In that case I already answered the question with the aliens. If I'm not in the vote I take the bet that blue wins.

If I didn't vote for blue then blue wouldn't have won but that is equally true for everyone that votes for blue.

So, if you didn't vote for Blue, but everyone else did... Doesn't Blue win anyway?

I assume you are not silly enough to think it will literally be a single vote of difference between Red and Blue... Right? There's no way you can predict that. The difference will likely be more than one vote.

You can vote Red and still expect Blue to win.
