It’s election day. Make sure you vote today.
Only 42% of registered Americans came out to vote in the 2014 midterms. The numbers get even worse when you look at millennials, only about 20% of millennials showed up in the last two midterm elections. Add in the vast number of unregistered voters and you have a lot of government being selected by a minority of the population.
If you are thinking of not voting, realize that casting your vote sends a message to future candidates and platforms that they can’t rely on just the most vocal electorate.
It’s likely that most of the races on your ballot, like mine, are uncontested. A few may be hotly contested. It doesn’t matter; just go vote.
