Ever hear someone say that they don’t bother participating in elections because one vote doesn’t make a difference? Tell them this.
We are fortunate enough to have had four excellent candidates running for three BOE seats this year. Our vote was yesterday and the number of votes per candidate were as follows:
Candidate #1–347 votes, Candidate #2–285 votes, Candidate #3–286 votes, Candidate #4–323 votes.
Yep. The difference in winning the BOE seat between candidates #2 and #3 was one vote. One vote, one resident, one voice. Show up to vote, you’re worth it.
I’m so glad you are back to blogging. I have missed reading your thoughts and making my own connections. Thanks for the reminder that every little thing counts – including each ballot.
Maybe, just maybe, if one more person would have cast a ballot … it would have been two votes.
