Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.
Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.
Every Vote Counts!!!
Many important local races will be decided by less votes than the number of updoots I will receive for this comment.
Check the rules around early voting in your state! Some states make it ridiculously easy to vote by mail or vote in-person before election day.
Some states make it difficult to cast your ballot before election day, but you won’t know until you check! You might be surprised how easy it actually is to cast your ballot without waiting in the long lines at your polling place
For those that may feel pressured to make snap decisions by all of these “I voted early” or “I already mailed in my my ballot” stories. Researching all of the measures and candidates and waiting until election day to vote when you have as much info as you could gain is perfectly fine and is actually preferred over making an uninformed vote.
The important thing is that you do vote, and taking a bit more time to feel comfortable with your decisions is not a bad thing. It just shows that you are an attentive voter and may just have more things going on in your life to be able go through all the info/research at once.
