As Democrats, we believe in giving every eligible citizen the opportunity to vote - whether it's early because they can't take off work on Election Day or absentee because they might have plans to be out of town.

Low turnout in off-year races is always a challenge for Democrats. Many of our voters require information and must be contacted way ahead of Election Day - and reminded of what's at stake.

The plight of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil man

The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself. The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.

I love election day, and I love to vote.

People who don't vote have no line of credit with people who are elected and thus pose no threat to those who act against our interests.
