44% of the electorate did not vote in the Presidential election of 2016. That is over 90 million people who were eligible to vote but didn’t.  The percentage was even higher in the primaries.

I believe as Dwight Eisenhower did:  “Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.”  This includes voting down ballot, off year, primaries, bond and education issues, etc. They all matter.

Remember, it doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because we vote.
