If you haven’t already, you NEED to vote today!
A record number of people have registered this year, and a huge number voted in the primary. However, regardless of the number of people who you see that say they’ve voted, your vote still matters.
My “voting history” began with my vote for Ross Perot (My dad brought me into the voting booth with him growing up, so I was able to cast a vote at age 9 and be a part of the process.) I’ve always voted in every election I could.
I’ve attended a few political rallies, including last night for a Joe Biden rally in South Philly. Mayor Nutter,
If one person doesn’t vote, it really won’t make a difference to the overall outcome. However, the numerous people today who decide NOT to vote can add up. Therefore, every vote matters because the race will be tight. If you need further proof/explanation immediately watch the HBO movie “Recount” with Kevin Spacey about the 2000 elections. (Or if you don’t have time to watch, I’ll be happy to give you a 5 minute synopsis.)
The voting excitement is building today, so make sure to get to the polls. We all have different reasons to vote. Vote for change. Vote for a cleaner environment. Vote for the economy, healthcare, the military, or whatever reason that matters to you most. But please, just Vote!
