“At People’s Action, we believe in the power of our votes that ordinary people, when we put our minds together, can make good decisions for their own lives and for our country. Democracy is our guiding principle. That’s why our volunteers, all across the country, are spending these last few weeks before the election reaching out to undecided voters. Yet I often hear people say their votes don’t matter. ‘Why should I even bother?’ they say when I ask when they plan to vote. I never take the right to raise my voice through democracy for granted. So I always vote, and expect my daughters and loved ones to vote, too. So let me tell you the difference your vote can make. In 2016, many were shocked when Donald Trump won the presidency, even though he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. That’s because Trump won the Electoral College, which awards votes by state in a winner-take-all system, 304 to 227 – well more than the 270 needed to secure the White House.” (10/01/24)
