Ask any American and they’re likely to remember the first time they voted, especially if that experience happened to coincide with a Presidential election. Mine didn’t, but that didn’t keep me from voting. For even if there isn’t a new (or current) President to (re)elect, every two years the U.S House of Representatives changes and every 6 years the Senate. In short, every year our local, state and federal government changes in some manner through new representatives. That’s important to consider, every first Tuesday in November, America’s Election Day, we vote not just for representatives on the national level, but also state and local level. Even the new sheriff in town is voted on that day for his/her term. New laws are voted on – should the county or state change its position on parking laws for example.
