Whatever your party affiliations get out and vote. I have learned from a few articles I have read only 42% of registered Americans came out to vote in the last midterms. That 42% represented the lowest voter turnout since 1978.
Remember your vote matters. Think about it, your vote on November 6th can have an impact on your wallet, your health care, your right to carry firearms, LGBTQ rights, and immigration to name a few.
You may think that your vote does not matter but consider this a single vote can make a big difference. In fact, there have been more than a dozen races decided by a single vote or ending in a tie over the last 20 years. A fact noted in an article in NPR on line by Domenico Montanaro, dated November 3 entitled Why Every Vote Matters — The Elections Decided By A Single Vote (Or A Little More). How would you feel if a candidate that you did not agree with won an election by a vote…..your vote?
So vote on Tuesday……. because every election matters.
What do you feel about getting out to vote?
