Hi. The presidential election is the top story, but there are plenty of Senate and House races that could determine the balance of power in Washington and have a huge impact on the next four years, regardless of who wins the White House.
Are there people that vote for the president then call it a day and leave? Because I always see things like “these ther elections matter too” and it’s like, cool, it’s illegal to vote outside your state? So like, short of moving to Kentucky and wasting a blue vote, who cares? Over half of the population doesn’t even bother, and a good chunk of them would change nothing if they did vote.
Yes, and enough that even deep blue areas can be effected by it. Combined with ticket splitting, there are plenty of competitive down ballot races in all states whether deep blue, deep red, or swing state
Wow, people are just so incredibly dumb huh?
The other concern is just those people not turning out at all. Most downballot elections are not statewide. A lot of them will depend on your district too. So people might not think that there’s anything competitive in say for instance California but not know that their US House district is drawn such that it’s rather competitive
Well yeah, a lot of people are dumb?
