Good morning, America!

Today (November 7th) is Election Day which means that it’s time to get out and vote!

Voter turnout in non-presidential elections is never as good as it could be and that’s one of the reasons that our current administration is, to put it mildly, such complete and utter shit at the moment. Local and state elections are JUST as important, if not even more so, than presidential elections are because who you vote in at the local and state level will very often have more of an impact on your day to day life and the quality of your community than our President ever will.

So whether your state is electing a new governor today (such as my state of Virginia is!) or you’ve just got local stuff on the ballot, please know that ALL of the elections happening today and every year after this are important and your vote does matter!

If you are registered and able to vote please get to the polls and do so!
