Especially if you were not planning to vote in the Primary at all — like about 60% to 65% of registered voters. Turnout in a midterm primary is depressingly low. Does it have to be?
If you’re unhappy with the state of politics in America today, it’s well worth your time to vote for me in District 1 — it will literally just take a minute!
Something like this:
- 12 seconds: get your ballot and envelope, and a pen
- 10 more: find Richard Minner on the list of Congressional candidates (I’m only in one race)
- 7: fill in the oval
- 12: tear off the ballot stub and put the ballot in the envelope
- 8: sign and seal the envelope
- 11: mail it
60 seconds, all done.
And if you’re not registered, you can still Register To Vote until May 18! Yes, that will take a little longer than one minute, but not a lot.
Finally, it’s more than ok to vote for just one item on your ballot!
