As the midterm elections approach, much speculation has arisen over what the outcome will be and how the outcome will influence U.S. Politics. This election has had a higher early voter than any other election in U.S. history. About 8,156,995 voter ballots have thus far been submitted, any many more will likely be submitted. That's 200,000 more than in 2016.
This absolutely massive turnout shows just how passionate citizens of America are right now. The Trump presidency ushered in a new era of heightened divisions within American, leading to a crescendo in racial and political tensions in the U.S. This mass election turnout shows how this political crisis has led to immense passion in Americans to vote. While this has occurred due to division in America, the fact that such a high voter turnout has occurred signifies that we are at least attempting to make a change, as no matter what policy, party, or politician you support, just by voting you are helping to make a positive change.

Not being able to vote quite yet, I absolutely love to read things like this. No matter who was voted for, people are exercising their right and that is so important!

This is the most passionate I've ever seen people about voting. During the 2016 election, I heard so many people talk about choosing not to vote. I think now people have seen the effects of this decision and want to make a difference. Seeing as more people are voting earlier than before, I'm excited to see what happens when our generation is able to vote.
ReplyDeletePeople should definitely exercise their right even if they can't vote yet.
