“Every election is determined by the people who show up.”

- Larry J. Sabato

(American Professor & Political Scientist)

Dear Active Citizen,

The minority can swing the vote!

In the last election, only

35%

of the voting population actually voted, which is at cross-purposes with the idea of

majority rule

, one of the basic tenets of democracy.

Many times, due to the willful negligence of the electorate, instead of majority rule being upheld, the minority rule where the ruling few control election outcomes.

There is only one way to change the tide, vote!
