I hope you enjoy it!

I agree that the Electoral College should go, but remember even in your state you doubtless have ballot initiatives and council members who need your vote. No matter what your vote matters.

You are so right! Your vote still matters locallly, so never skip voting, but our country would be better without the Electoral College. It made sense to the founders at that time but it makes no sense now. Every now and then there is an effort to abolish the Electoral College but it never gets very far. It is unfortunate, but in the meantime, please keep voting. You can make a difference in your representatives and your senators…and of course, with your local elected officials, you can make a huge difference.

Thank you! Will get back to this later today.

Red State or Blue State OR PURPLE STATE: Your Vote Counts

. . .

Of course not. Each of us has the privilege — but also the responsibility — of casting our votes in each and every election. Whether we live in a “red state” or a “blue state” OR A “PURPLE STATE”, our votes do count. While your one vote may not be enough to change your state’s electoral count, your vote still makes a difference.

Whether the presumptive DEMOCRATIC PARTY nominee, Kamala Harris, or the REPUBLICAN PARTY NOMINEE Donald Trump wins THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WHEN ALL THE VOTES HAVE BEEN COUNTED AND CERTIFIED AFTER THE OFFICIAL ELECTION DAY on Tuesday, NOVEMBER 5, that incoming candidate needs to know the size of his or her base. The candidate who wins by a landslide can go forward more quickly with his OR HER plans for the country. But if the election is a “squeaker,” AS IT HAS BEEN IN EACH OF THE PAST TWO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, the candidate needs to campaign for TOLERANCE AND unity before the administration gets underway.

Well said, thanks!
