Voting is one of the most impactful things you can do for yourself and your community. On a macro level, it’s easy to think that you’re just one person and that your vote doesn’t make much of a difference, but your vote will matter. “Some elections are razor-thin. In 2016, the margin of the victory for President in the swing states was less than 1 percent,” It’s not just the presidential election on November 3rd for 2020. It is all candidates in the House of Representatives, seats in the Senate, governorships, and more. Your vote makes a huge difference.” Simply put, voting is power, “The theory of democracy is that it is a government for and by the people, and the vote is the basic building block that gives people the power to control their government and to shape what policies they want and the future direction of their town, state, and country.” In addition, that your vote should serve as “the great equalizer.” But that’s not always the case. There are many people for whom the right to vote is taken away. Discriminatory voter ID laws prevent millions of people from voting each year. Take for example the recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld a law requiring formerly incarcerated people to pay all fines and fees associated with their sentence before they’re allowed to vote; it could keep millions from voting on November 3. Voting in the 2020 general election is especially tricky. Social distancing rules, paired with an anticipated high turnout of voters. Millions of people, some for the first time, will vote by mail, and not every state is equipped to handle such volume of absentee ballots. Whatever situation you find yourself facing on November 3 rd take your vote in person.

Staying on the sidelines is disempowering; voting is always empowering.” Some tips for voters on election day; if you’re going to vote in personal at the polls and there might be long lines take a lawn chair, an umbrella in case it rain; prepare some snacks, drinks and something to eat; make sure your cellphone is charged; because you might be there for hours.
