Tomorrow is Election Day in the United States. If you want a voice in your future you must vote. The Presidency is not the only item on the ballot. Most states and communities are also going to the polls to choose other federal, state, and local officials. There are dozens of propositions at stake across the country. Each of these items has a direct effect on your future.
One of the excuses I hear the most for not voting is the vote canceling myth. You've heard it "my husband votes one way and I vote the other, so we cancel each other's votes". Nothing could be further from the truth. That would be like saying that in a football game each touchdown or field goal scored cancels the touchdown or field goal scored by the other team. It doesn't work that way. Each and every vote is counted. When you see the voting results they read (for example) 100,922 for Prop 1 and 89,327 against Prop 1. They don't take the difference and only report those votes. Every vote counts!
Please, let your voice be heard tomorrow - VOTE!
We are voting. Our just-turned-18-year-old son is voting too. We are voting for what matters most in God's eyes.
ReplyDeleteI plan on voting.
ReplyDeleteI voted, Chris voted...we were counted. In fact, my 3 girls even voted at school. No, it didn't count in the grand total but it did get them interested and excited about the process and the candidates.
