Your state is too one sided for your vote to make a difference for president?
Someone's running for your library board to block all books with gay characters. Or running for the school board to set official prayers. Or for the election board to pick whose votes get counted.
Local matters.
Vote.

*MAYBE* your state is 'safe' --- but upsets happen!
It would suck if your 'safe' blue state of MN (say) went for Trump. It almost happened in 2016!
It would also suck if you 'safe' red state of IA (say) turned out to be a nail-biter, and a bunch of IA Democrats didn't vote!
That said, your vote in local elections and ballot questions always matters more than your vote for president.

I made like ten posts online about doing it. it was last minute to get approved as a write in
always try!
I've got to focus on keeping the roof over my head first.
I still voted because county commissioners isn't a forgone conclusion and I like my city council person, but the only race where I'm worried about who might win is for a tiny local board with almost no power.
Vote Blue 💙 up and down the ballot 🇺🇲
I applied for my town's climate action plan committee. There were seven applicants for six spots. That seventh person? Climate change denying MAGA fan.
nobody should ever sit out an election
And the NYC ballot has a bunch of sneaky proposals to give way too much power directly to the mayor.
Totally worth bothering to vote in NY!
Well, if we don't raise taxes for education, that means less resources to go around for public schools. Local high school's already got no money.
Vote NO on 2.
we are not putting a republican in the senate. but how about in a position of power over schools? the republican has opinions about "DEI" and "CRT". could win.
how about the public land commissioner? the republican voted to deny certification in 2020.
it all matters.
I'm not financially secure enough to consider running, but I do already have a slogan that would trick them.
"The most freedom for the most people.'
I ran. district 6 rep in my town. I got in at a write in, last minute really. I only had time to post online here and there that I was an option and I got 6% of the vote anyway.
if I had money and time to throw at it I could a won. so could you.
I ran independent left.
