It is a curious fact that, even among the opponents of democracy, the
vote is considered important. That is why there is so much effort to
persuade people not to do it, to
persuade people to vote for candidates who can't possibly win, to
prop up splitter candidates, to
make it difficult to get permission to vote, to
revoke people's permission to vote, to
lose people's permission to vote, to
falsify the vote, to
not count the vote, to
claim the vote isn't valid. Your vote counts, and your political opponents know it. That's why they don't want you to do it.
And vote downticket, too! The Senate is up for grabs, and it makes a difference!
