OK, this goes out to all the young people still wondering if voting is worth it, despite the horrors of this past week and this past 2 years. Yes, your 1 vote, out of thousands or even millions, matters. Here's an example why. Imagine a Dem and a Rep running in your district /1
of 100 residents/voters, and the Rep always wins, about 60-40. So does your Dem vote even matter if your candidate is going to lose? YES. The winner has to represent all 100, not just the 60 who voted for him/her. So how does the winner know what the 40 want? Who they are? /2
By their vote. Compare, if the vote were 60 to 0, the winner has no idea who the 40 are that didn't vote or what they expect from their representative. But if those 40 do vote, their voices are heard. And that winner has the info needed to represent. And if he/she fails, then/3
he/she knows that it would only take flipping 11 votes to lose next time. That's what it means to make your voice heard. Not just so your candidate wins, but so the winning candidate knows who you, his/her constituents, are. So, get out there and #BeAVoter This and all elections!
