Right now many people are already thinking ahead to 2020. Some may be thinking "I wonder who is going to be running against Trump?" But there are also some people that are working to make sure that Trump gets elected for another term.
While, yes, we should be worrying about 2020, we should also be worrying about the upcoming midterm elections.
I know what you are thinking "But those are the small elections, they don't really matter."
Well, I am here to tell you that, actually, it does matter because these elections determine who runs the state, like the new governor, senators, all of the seats in the House of Representatives, as well as many city mayors are all up for reelection this year.
If you're 18 or older and not registered to vote yet, then get on it! Elections are in November, and every vote matters. Every process is different, so I included a few links down below if you want to know how your state does things during these elections.
If you are registered to vote then get out there, and do it! You may think your vote doesn't matter, but it really does make all of the difference. It can determine not only the future of the state but the future of this country as well.
If you aren't sure who to vote for go on "I Side With," a website resource where you take a quiz about issues that you think should be resolved, and they will match you with a candidate that also agrees with what you agree with.
If you want to vote but won't be in your voting area at the time of the election, then you can fill out an absentee ballot; this takes two minutes to fill out, and you need to mail it no earlier than 90 days before the election but no later than five days.
Happy voting everyone! Whoever you vote for, don't forget to make it count!
