Elections Count

As Barack Obama so famously said, "Elections have consequences." Indeed they do. If they didn't, then we would have no Affordable Care Act. If they didn't, we would have Justice Garland instead of Justice Gorsuch.

Elections matter.

Unfortunately, the rave these days is to make it harder, not easier, to vote. However, at least Indiana has a system where you can check to see if your registration is up to date.

Here is the link.

Please forward this to your friends and have them ensure that they are properly registered to vote. Politicians care about what their voters think about issues; they don't care nearly as much about what their constituents writ large think about issues. It makes sense: If I represented 1,000 people but only 5 of them voted, I would only need to make 3 of them happy enough to vote for me again.
