Every Vote Counts

By Richard J. Steinberg

Every vote counts in the upcoming elections for federal, state and local offices on the ballot. Local government has made it easy and convenient to register and vote which is all they can do. It is the decision of the residents to take advantage of the most precious right in our great country.

A simple phone call or a visit to city hall is all that it takes to register and under certain circumstances to even vote by absentee ballot.

Before you vote be sure to be informed of the qualifications of the candidate of your choice, and not just rely on rumors or bogus information.

Your vote is the result of the honest efforts by candidates who seek public office and risk being targets of the press , the media and special interests.

Voter apathy is the most serious obstacle a candidate faces. Some people criticize candidates and demean their character and fail to vote.

Voting is the only way to participate in an election with the guarantee that you made a difference in the final outcome.

We cannot have a representative government unless the electors select the representatives.

Regardless of your partisan or personal beliefs please make it a high priority to vote.
